Thanks jda (LOL you stole my initials). Certainly can't attest to reliability or longevity, and they don't feel as "battle-tough" as my 1Ds' or even 5dIIIs, but there seems to be quite a few pros also making the switch and putting them through a workout with good results. But IMO it's too early to know...

As far as landscape use, IMO they run circles around Canon, and the aRII may be the best (non-MF) landscape camera manufactured to date. The amount of detail and dynamic range on the FF 42MP sensor is nothing short of astounding. Photos where I'd previously take a -2/+2 5-picture bracket to stack the dynamic range can now be accomplished often in a single shot. It's amazing to expose for the foreground, blow-out the sky/highlights, and be able to completely pull it back and recover all of the sky detail in post. No bracketing/hdr processing or grad ND filters required

And with my $700 Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5, I've been shooting at 5.6 and have everything from 3' to infinity in TACK sharp focus! I just did a three building architecture shoot and found myself damn near giddy over the experience with the mirrorless...
