Kirk Tuck has responded, asking why Thein thinks he knows better than the manufacturers who have been been in the game for decades.

In a way, some of my sympathies are with Thein in as much as my sometimes posted here view that mirrorless has not quite cracked it yet. On the other hand, most of my shots these days are made with one of two mirrorless camera and lens combinations which are normally in my bag.
- The Fuji X-Pro1 with the 18-55 kit lens tends to be my current preference in most situations where rapid focussing speed is not essential. 18-55 covers many situations, is fast enough for most circumstances, fairly compact and sharp. Buying it in conjunction with 10% discount and cashback offers meant that is was not too expensive a purchase and since its acquisition I have rarely felt the need for the 18 and 27 primes which came with the camera.
- The Olympus E-M10 with Panaleica Suumilux 25 f/1.4 I have found to be a good combo for street work, where the fast AF and the ability to focus and trip the shutter on the touch sensitive LCD come into their own.
- For everything else there is the Canon 7D, which remains a very capable camera and is the only system for which I have all the lenses and accessories I am likely to require. Its main drawback is size and weight, which means it sees less use thse days unless I know I will be in a situation where the mirrorless cameras will not fare so well.
