Personally, I'll love to get one to try out... but I'm also aware that any weight reduction I gain will only come from the camera body alone. Notice there isn't any f/2.8 zoom lens in the m43 and NEX/Axx line-up? Pairing up a f/2.8 zoom lens with a mirrorless camera body (that is armed with a m43 or APS-C sensor) can only lead to a poorly balanced set-up.

That's one of the reasons I think mirrorless cameras will make most sense with smaller sensors. For a given field of view range (ignoring DoF), bigger sensor means bigger lenses generally (give or take some consideration for mount distance for wider angle lenses). I'm really curious if Nikon's mirrorless will be as rumoured and have a smaller sensor than existing market players.
