I'm waiting for the outcome of the 150-600's war, no doubt that the Sigma sport is going to be the winner, but heavy and not cheap, we're going to have to wait a little longer for the results of the contemporary, and a lot of reports coming in about the Tamron's AF coughing and spluttering! Which means DSLRs and OVFs.
Nikon has it together with most things now whichever way you look at it in terms of bodies, FF is there in numbers, but their DX lacks a good buffer on the D7100, no doubt the D7200 will address that, but "that sharpness" is just great, I'm hooked on it right now! Canon are struggling a bit with their lower DR and slightly noisier sensors still with LPFs, (I don't know why, sorry Popo), however they've the best lenses.
Mirror-less is great, modern radical, compact lightweight, but so far it's not nailed it, like the Sony 7 range for example, the S, the low light king, but only 12Mps no IS; the 7R slow AF, 36 Mps no filter; the 7II, 24Mps with filter and IS. in short now's not quite the time to go there, probably in two years when it will have fast AF 36Mps no filter, IS all in one model, with more lenses, it will be. I'm sure there's going to be a whole bunch of Sony shooters with five bodies two years from now who still only have five lenses.
Sticking with Pentax K3, no FF for me and my lenses for general shooting/landscapes with it's in body SR, with Nikon D7100 for sports and action with it's greater range of third party lenses.
