Don't forget about Olympus which has in body stabilization (best in class) and the best MFT lenses by far. I have both a Sony and Olympus and the Sony is a very good casual camera with a lot of friendly features but they do not have lenses available which are in the same league as those from Olympus and also from Panasonic. The Olympus/Pansasonic lenses are not compatible with Sony. For serious use, I always turn to my Olympus. Image quality competes with those from the larger sensor. Olympus is not as good with high ISO (low light) photos but their in-body stabilization does help tremendously in that you can stop down one or more stops because of it and thus get more light into the lens. Have fun! I should also add that the lens from Olympus and Panasonic are much smaller for the same equivalent focal length than those for Sony because the MFT system mathematically permits much smaller focal lengths. So if being compact and light plus having the best lenses are most important, than Olympus/Panasonic would be best option.

osfaniaSincerely beg to differ especially taking price and portability into the equation and Olympus and Panasonic have some excellent primes too with no need for the lens to be stabilized when on an Olympus body. I'd recommend doing searches that review lens systems. Olympus is very highly regarded and amazingly compact which is the main reason to go with a MFT system otherwise just lug around a traditional DSRL or go with the mirror less Sony which is in the middle size categor.

osfaniaOlympus has professional quality glass, both micro four-thirds and legacy. In addition, the micro thirds universe has Leica designed lenses that Panasonic manufactures.
