Have already considered MFT; my original choice was Nikon D5100. Apparently the NEX sensor provides similar resolution and low light capability, the camera is more portable than D5100, and IMHO with adapters is more flexible and better suited for use with telescope, or microscope. Think I'll stick with my choice of NEX 5 and wait for additional lenses. Thanks for your help. BTW - It was these two videos that switched my thinking away from D5100 to NEX 5: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orqSoZ4MHxk&NR=1%20%3Chttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orqSoZ4MHxk&NR=1%3E"]A Handful of NEX Adpators[/url] and [url="http://sonyalphanex.blogspot.com/"]Adam Roberts' tips and tricks[/url]

Yes, the NEX is an adapter wonderland. I'm referring to it as "poor man's Leica" although it's technically superior already.
The new peaking function seems to work pretty well with those adapted lenses.
