Mid-range DSLR Camera Recommendations

Good info there CWuestefeld. I'd say one more reason that Canon and Nikon dominate the conversation- lens compatibility. This lets you get better deals on the lenses, which as I've found out from my wife's purchases are the big investment.

I too am partial to the "new" mirrorless, specifically M43. I find it's a great compromise between size, weight, speed and image quality. It's also the more mature of the mirrorless standards, and that mean a great selection of quality lens, plus the ability to reuse old lens from just about any manifacturers with cheap adapters.
I like some NEX a lot, and especially the focus peaking feature, but having a large APS-C sensor also mean large lens. So that usually endup with a very small body + a large lens.
A tool you may find useful to compare different photocams, is Camera Size. For example:
Nikon D3200 vs Olympus E-PL5
If you compare body + lens at equivalent focal lenghts, a M43 is easily half the size & weight. That's not a small difference. In practice it mean you'll have the small camera with you a lot more times.

Don't care if I need it.
Don't care if I'd ever use it.
It looks cool.
I want one.

Good grief!
But, I really have no desire to be a peeping Tom spying on ants mating on the next continent over... or Venutians or Martians for that matter~! :D
Well, that and I don't have a gantry crane and 40-wheeler to transport/use it!
And I have a Nikon... :P ;D
That's one BIG lens! ;D
