| | | I haven't used either of those cameras so I can't quite contribute in the manner you're looking for. I do have some experience shooting underground though so I will address that aspect of your needs. Depending on what you're doing, I can understand the need for something smaller. I've dragged my camera everywhere with me, but there's considerable risk to doing that. Not to mention it makes things like caving a lot more difficult. I have a friend who does caving photography with the canon powershot g16 and gets some amazing results. The key, however, isn't so much the camera as the lighting. I've yet to come across a camera that will give you amazing results underground without some good lighting. The caving group I have explored with prefers zebralights. They're INCREDIBLY bright, small, have multiple settings, and they're only around $90. You can buy them in both spot and flood and they work really well for underground photography. Also, if you're looking for a lighter, easier to carry tripod to go with your new camera you might want to consider a gorillapod. Someone got me one for my birthday and they're actually surprisingly sturdy. The one I got will actually hold my 5D mark II with my 16-35mm wide angle lens (I believe the combination is around 6 pounds). It does limit your perspective a bit, but it's better than lugging around and possibly destroying a nicer full-sized tripod in the mud like I did with my manfrotto :/ Best of luck in your camera searches, let us know what you end up with!

| | | Posted by randomesquephoto Seems like I'm one of the only ones that uses mirror less around here. I have an Olympus epl5 and a nikon coolpix A. My brother in law uses an Olympus omd. Get one. They're great. Small. The Prime lenses are fantastic. No problems with long exposure, or image quality. The coolpix A has a fixed 28mm. Crazy sharp. And compact. I fit two cameras in my bag and they still take up less space than a dslr. I'll never use a dslr again. The Fujis get great reviews too. But the only thing is they use a sensor technology that doesn't bode well with photoshop. And has a clunky proprietary software. But of you're willing to use it, results are fantastic. Anyone who says dslrs are better is high. Anyway. Everything on my Flickr is with mirrorless. So if you want to see samples, check it out. Flickr.com/photos/randomesquephoto
| Dslrs are still currently better. They are much more reliable, have a way better lens selection especially long lenses and I'd like to see mirrorless cameras handle weather like a weather sealed 1D body. That being said, mirrorless has come along way but still has more to go. The AF needs improvement still, especially in the dark and the reliability needs a huge upgrade, good luck getting anywhere close to 100k on the shutter like a Dslr can. Not saying mirrorless is bad, it is pretty good, it's new tech that is still being fine tuned.

Because Nikon's range of CSC are pretty f***ing terrible, and are little more than compact toys... Seriously, that little sensor. |
The Nikon 1 AW1 is waterproof, freezeproof, and shockproof, and so are its lenses. Because, honestly, most of the people who post in there couldn't tell me what ISO is, let alone what makes a decent camera. Even if you beat them over the head with the Ilford Manual of Photography. |
I think that you're wrong about that. Posted by ZenCanadian Dslrs are still currently better.

I can't speak to the weather-sealing on the Canon 1D, but I second the rest of what Zen has said.
