I thought about waiting for NEX FF mirrorless too, as an alternative to
buying the 6D, but decided against it:
- it will be over $1000 more expensive then a 6D, maybe more, and will take
1-2 years to fall to more reasonable prices (and expect FF to fall too)
- some years before a decent native lens selection will be available (even
if you buy it for legacy glass, you'll want some)
- I expect some limitations in adapting MF glass, due to the narrow fit of
a FF sensor in the NEX mount
- I foresee some commercial limitations in adapting MF glass, since it is a
Sony ;-)
So I bought a 6D, and when the FF mirrorless market will be more mature in
say 3 years, I'll look into it for a successor.
It won't happen, but I'd like a MFT mount FF sensor Oly (or Sony, or
whoever), to mount all except NEX/Fuji lenses, and for MFT/FT have a multi
ratio (including vertical with a button push) benefit. Oly making a 5 axis
IBIS with APS sensor could be a start...
Best with your decisions, Frank
