For me FF strikes up the perfect balance between affordability and IQ. I want to own my gear and then use it to pay itself off. Something that is quite possible. But with MF you'd have to rent it or be exceedingly rich. Plus you'd need the sort of high profile clients and paid jobs that will make your purchase cost effective. Could take years to recoup the cost. That's just poor business sense so I still think FF is going to be around for a long time.

It's good to hear that more pros are using Mirroless systems in their workflow. I wouldn't have the confidence to rock up to a job with what outwardly looks like a P&S camera!

I often feel people judge your ability (wrongfully I know) by the size of your camera. So it would take some amount of reputation building first to make that switch. Respect!

I'll stick with my outdated 5D MkII for now as it still produces solid images and work on my lighting techniques. Cos to me thats what really matters.

Not all mirrorless cameras look like P&S cameras. Here are some comparisons from Camera Size dot com

Olympus OM-D E-M1 vs Canon 7D http://camerasize.com/compare/#482,154

Fujifilm X-Pro1 vs Canon 7D http://camerasize.com/compare/#258,154

Panasonic GH3 vs Canon 7D http://camerasize.com/compare/#381,154

Sony can build a small mirrorless camera like the 24Mp NEX-7 that is not much bigger than an EOS M, Why can't Cannon give us a Pro M about the same size as the NEX-7?

A Cano Pro M (with a M-mount f/1.8 85mm) plus a Canon MFD would satisfy all my needs
