Which the Mirrorless is slimmer?

Having several mirrorless cameras on hand, inquisitive researchers from www.seriouscompacts.com thought it may be helpful to present some mirrorless cameras size comparisons. Which camera have won, it is difficult to decide. The choice heavy affects by the visual angle. We think that Olympus E-P2 and Sony NEX5 may pretend to be nominated the slimmest. Here are the comparison shots.

Let us start with the standard zoom lenses:
