If you were to buy a mirrorless camera
today, as a complement to your full frame DSLR, what would it be?

    NEX-7, though the Fuji X1-Pro looks very cool and retro.

    Fuji X-E1. A more compact X-Pro1, minus the hybrid VF. A proper aperture ring on the lenses, shutter speed dial and EC dial on the body, no AA filter, I want one.

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    I am intrigued with the new Sony NEX 6. Updated sensor. Standard hot shoe. Good high ISO performance. Fits my budget.

    I own and love the Olympus OM-D E-M5 - awesome little camera and amazing image quality. The NEX cameras are quite nice as well, but I preferred the range and quality of lenses available in the Micro 4/3 system. The new Panasonic GH3 (mentioned by EphTwoEight) also deserves a strong look.

    Thank you all. Can any of these cameras be used -with adapters - to other lenses - like Nikon?

    You can purchase adapters from some vendors, and many 3rd parties, however, in general, if the lens and body are from different makes (ie Sony camera and Nikon lens) they become manual lenses, which I think would be a serious pain with a camera that is not particularly simple to use manually. Depending on model, a few provide data back to the camera body allowing autofocus.

    Sony provides a fully compatible adapter for Sony DSLR lenses (and therefore Minolta).

    Others are listed here:

    The Canon M model listed provides an adapter for Canon EOS lenses (one of the few attractive factors for that model IMHO)

    Thank you. Yes, manual would be doable but a pain. Although, for my longer lenses it might be an option.
