David Wells switched his travel and lifestyle photography to the OMD system and Rob Sheppard is now doing all of his nature photography with the Sony NEX system. After talking with both of them at a workshop, I bought a Sony NEX 5R, which is about the same size as the OMD but still has an APS-C sensor.

I'll be frank, the system, with a couple of lenses, is very small and light and much easier to tote around on my travels but I am still having a struggle getting used to it. It just doesn't feel solid or particularly steady while shooting and my big hands keep inadvertently pushing buttons at the wrong times. Rob warned me it would take some getting used to and there would be teething pains but I'm still not sure it is going to permanently replace my K-5, which is pretty small for a DSLR anyway. You may not have the same experience but forewarned, etc.
