[quote name='popo' timestamp='1305829635' post='8625']I wonder which people are buying mirrorless systems? In addition to a DSLR? Instead of a DSLR? Instead of a compact?[/quote]
People like me for example. Instead of a DSLR. I still have compacts. Having enjoyed a DSLR for a couple of years I grew simply tired of carrying this weight around. I only kept my 50 mm f1.8 Nikkor - and discovered that manual focusing can be good fun. So I would say that a good number of "older" DSLR users either complement their gear with some mirrorless stuff to travel light or get rid of their entire DSLR system. Also, on my last trip to Asia my impression was that Japanese mirrorless shooters were mostly younger folks, students.
