Love the size, hate the focusing on live subjects.
The XE-2 seems to fix most of the focusing issues, at least it's what I've seen using my friend's XE-2.

FF mirrorless is way too expensive. At that point I'd rather keep the SLR, since the lens selection is better anyways (without the use of adapters). I also don't want to fuss around with FF lenses on the body, which defeats the purpose IMO.

I've toyed with getting rid of my 6D and short lenses, and replacing that with a XE-2, UWA prime (like the Rok 14), 35 equiv, and 85 equiv. Then I would pick up a 60D or 50D for sports. My only issue with this is that indoor sports would basically be non-existant, since the 50D I used to have was SO bad, even with a 70-200 2.8 IS II.

The battery life and lack of long lenses really are the only barriers. Battery life less so because I can buy a ton of batteries. But losing out on sports and nature shooting would be a deal-breaker.
