Agree to disagree. I really don't see why I need to say IMO all the time. My very first post I said for what I shoot I prefer to use a DSLR, I was then asked to justify that ie explain what I like to shoot (not sure why I needed to justify my preference for DLSRs but I obliged). So from my first post it is clear that it is my preference to use DSLRs.
For the record, I use a D800 and I can tell the difference between IQ of that camera and cropped sensor cameras. Cropped sensors are still great, I started with a D90 and I still use it, however there is a difference, and I do like the flexibility of having a 36mp sensor.
I also like the ergonomics and the number of dials and physical buttons so that I don't need to dig into the menus to change things. I shoot manual and aperture priority depending on the scene (Aperture in low contrast scenes and manual in high contrast scenes), so I like to have two dials and the Nikon has positioned them perfectly, unlike the Canons which have both dials on the back of the camera.
I also use a film camera and an S100 and I like what I can get out of using each camera.
FOR ME, if you can get a D800 in a mirrorless body with decent ergonomics then I am sold.
Easier than your DSLR because the viewfinder will show exactly what you are changing, and the effect on the image.
DLSR shows the info in the viewfinder as well, but I am fine not to have the image altered live.
