What's a Complete Mirrorless System? by Thom Hogan

Thom may not have the answer to "what's a functional website" but he sure knows his mirroless(es): 

"m4/3: tends to fail at high ISO image quality and tracking focus performance, plus only a few of the Panasonic models have built-in EVFs. GPS and tether support is also missing. The good news is that the lens set is broad, deep, and will soon have almost no gaps.

The most developed of the systems so far, but it also is the only system with two players in it, so this is to be expected.

Nikon 1: missing a lot of needed lenses, the J1/V1 both miss the viewfinder/flash requirements in different ways, both miss the user controls and customization needs.
Sony NEX: missing a lot of needed lenses (plus the lenses are DSLR big), focus performance needs improvement, and proprietary external flash is a miss (NEX-7 an exception). Incomplete GPS, tether support.
Samsung NX: missing a lot of needed lenses, focus performance needs substantive improvement."
