I love my 5D Mk II and am loathe to think about moving to another system but thought I'd get some thoughts from you chaps. When countryside walking I carry my 5D with the 70-300 attached and sometimes another lens or two etc etc. this makes for a heavy bag but I can manage it ... but ... I don't think I've taken a good shot for over a year (ie a shot that I thought "it was worth humping all the kit around for that one image").
I take pics for a local auction house so I need macro capabilities (jewellery), I've heard that a p&s can offer good dof for the close-ups but are they any good for wildlife ? I know this is a big question and I've tried to keep it brief. I have loads of gear and could fund (if I sell it all) a good replacement (I cannot afford to keep both) but will I regret it ... I spent many years working my way up to a full frame and adding lenses, spare batteries, tripods, strobes, bags etc but in reality I use very little of it. My son recently bought a good p&s and loves it and the images are excellent quality. I think I'd miss a viewfinder and interchangeable lenses but I am a hobbyist (OK I earn a few £s a month at the auction but I shoot 1,000 images over a few days, this is not 'art') ... I'll stop now or I'll ramble for hours.
