Well, I'm currently in the same boat as you as I don't own any mirrorless camera. I'm looking hard into it, but what I'm looking for in this segment doesn't exist yet. Ideally I'd like to see a mirrorless camera with a large sensor (ideally fullframe) and a selection of small pancake lenses.
MFT is the most mature system, however I'm not thrilled by their sensor. I really want DOF control and for me APS-C is the limit. Other than that MFT is great.

This perfectly sums it up for me, too! And while you definitely cannnot blame me for loving many of Brightcolors´ views, I definitely agree with him in this case, too. MTF looses it for me big time because it is virtually impossible to work with DoF with wider - slight tele lenses.... And the DoF is a strong creative aspect IMHO (and it doesn´t have to be only portraits): Look at some pro photos with 35/1.4, 50/1.8 or 85/1.4, 85/1.8 etc. on FF cameras.... You can never approach that with MTF as well as you can never approach the shallow DoF in 24-70/2.8 zoom on FF (you would need 12-34/f1.4 for that). Plus the bonus is either always much better low light performance (D3s, D4, 5D mk3) or much higher resolution (5D, D3x, D800...). Yes, the drawback is bulk but based on my experience it is well worth it.
What I would prefer is the FF mirorless body, ideally something like NEX-7... I prefer this concept with hi-res EVF to the Fuji Xpro design (which is a stunning retro-beauty, for sure, but more limited in practical usage to the NEX-7 design). Add the small, fast lenses like say 20/f4, 35/f1.4, 85/1.4 and 135/f2 + maybe some zooms for some flexibility and you win me all over <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
