I find Thom interesting reading, even if I don't agree with everything he says, he does reason well. Anyway, he recently did a This is most likely spam content or mirrorless and the results are interesting. The This is most likely spam content is still active, and he suggests if you still want to take part you can but should do so before reading on in case the results so far introduces more bias.
I'd add at this point for those nor familiar with him, I know him as making a living out of the Nikon DSLR systems. Since mirrorless came along, he's dipped into that too. This history may have some influence on the results.
On the mirrorless This is most likely spam content he writes: "The majority were m4/3 owners, with Nikon 1 owners being a distant second and Sony NEX owners a close third."
This was my first surprise. Based on what I hear more locally, I would have thought the ranking would be a m4/3 lead, NEX 2nd, and everyone else fighting for what's left over. Since he has a Nikon background, could have have increased the chances of Nikon system owners bumping up the Nikon 1 ranking? Or is there some regional influence?
I also found it ammusing he commented a lot of V1 owners got it because it was cheap. I could almost fall into the category as I had been wondering if I should get one to play with at the giveaway price they're still around at.
