Dumping the EOS gear for these MILC's, fad?

Ive switched over to mirrorless, currently a nex 7.

Mirrorless have been around quite awhile. If they didn't replace film slrs I'm not sure why they would replace sales.

Interchangable lens mirrorless.

MILC system lacks high speed super telephoto, ultra wide, and T/S...

T/S, yes (although tilt lens adapters do abound). High-speed supertele yes, but there are slow superteles, and with larger crop factors, shorter lenses are superteles.

Ultrawide, no. EOS-M has the 11-22. Sony NEX has the 10-18. Samsung NX has a 12-24. Nikon 1 has the 6.7-13. And mft has the Oly 9-18 and the Panasonic 7-14. It's really only Fuji X that's currently missing an ultrawide zoom, and they've got a 10-24 on their 2014 roadmap. So, think you can tick this one off on your list.

heres my answer when asked:

Think of it like fishing. I take a day away from my home and family to get up early, burn alot of gas to drive a long way, put an expensive boat in the water, rig up an expensive rod and reel and you want to know why a $3.00 hook is OK with me?

Compared to the expense and effort to get my butt out and about with some free time to do it, a few hundred bucks and a few extra pounds of gear is no more consideration than the money I could save buying cheaper fish hooks.

That said, I use my little mirrorless much more than my bigger boxes. It is less intrusive than the others when doing street shots and fits easily in a pocket and takes great shots even several generations old. Get both if you can, the right tools for the job and all.

Leica M since the 1930s.

I thought he was referring to digitals. I have a Bronica RF645 interchangeable lens rangefinder, too.

Except that a rangefinder camera is a different beast entirely.

But it is mirror-less.

50s. Barnacks before that.

But I agree.

So is any camera that is not reflex.

So Leica M isn't mirror-less?

We should all move to pinhole cameras.

It depends on what you shoot as to what camera you will use. I picked up a EOS-M when they were discounted by B&H and I like it. I still use my Rebel and my 7D most of the time but the M is a nice little carry around camera for impulse shots and for times when you need something other than a cellphone camera that you can stick in your coat pocket.
