Sorry but my DSLR times are over. Yes, full format cameras are still a benchmark but for my kind of photography they are way too heavy. And that also applies to the A7x, BTW (the Sony 70-200G is way too big). Image quality means much but the joy of photography is destroyed by the size & weight in my book. When carrying a 20kg backpack, big/heavy photo gear is completely out of the question. APS-C/MFT quality is easily sufficient for me. Your mileage may vary and that's perfectly Ok.
I didn't expect the RX10/FZ1000 to perform on full format level at all. But I was hoping that it could rival MFT or at least Nikon 1. Based on what I have seen, there are miles in between though - which puzzles me a bit because the popular review sites raved about these cameras. Makes me wonder what horse they were riding at the time ...
Anyway, for the time being I will be drifting between Fuji, Sony E (APS-C) and MFT. This time it'll be Sony (because of the Z16-70).
I will continue to do DSLR lens tests, of course, no worries here.
cheers
