DOF ;-), wide angle, an also better compression of my subject. Probably the same question can be ask to phase one/blad medium format user :-)

Using larger and larger sensor is a kind of drug in photo I think.

But having a range finder feeling with a aps-c camera this is cool too.

But if I can have a lot of money I will probably go for a M9.

I'd say it's like asking who needs large screwdrivers when smaller ones are cheaper :)

Did you ever ask yourself why there are so many brands of cars and models?
Or why people keep buying different clothes?

Cameras are just tools. Different people need different stuff. Just let it be...

Yes, I read a bit quickly... Sorry... But I still keep what I said... We need both small & large cameras...

Here is a pic that I took with my A900 & Zeiss 135/1.8, hand held @ISO6400. Probably impossible with a small camera.

But there are also other situations where I would like a digital version of the Konika Hexar AF. Something easy to carry and that does not scare people away, medium wide angle with top-notch quality...
Unfortunately, NEX-5 does not fit that... So I'm thinking of buying another Zeiss FF lens for my A900 with the money that I would "save" from not buying a NEX-5 :D :D :D
