played with the sony NEX-5, eh...meh. i want my viewfinder dammit.
ideally i would wait for the panasonic DMC-G3, but it's not out until august. the DMC-GH2 was close but then i saw the price tag and went "oh f*ck that i can get a DSLR for that!"
handled the Nikon D5100. absolutely loved it, even if the canon did seem to have a small edge on performance. ergonomically, the D5100 takes it. guess i went full DSLR
