I can't believe nobody has taken Dawid to task on the little throwaway
comment that a Nikon F is a small 35mm camera!  Granted, no Photomic prism,
but still!

But I have to agree that m4/3 (and OM-D especially) seems to have delivered
on the original promise.

And, Nathan, yours was E-420:

I think we will just have to agree to disagree, Dawid. I remember distinctly
that the marketing pitch for the 4/3 system was that in return for accepting
a significant smaller sensor than APS-C, we would get more compact bodies
and lenses and still good quality. I bought into that system, including
E-420 (or 520, I am not sure now) and later E3 bodies, and several of the
good lenses. The quality was OK, although to say that it exceeds Leica is
preposterous (I do not have an M9 but I have an M8 and when it comes to
quality, it beats any other system I have owned--I use other cameras for
other reasons such as high ISO, weather resistance, size/weight etc.).

In the end, I very much feel that micro 4/3 has delivered on the original
promise, and so do a lot of satisfied buyers.

Cheers,
Nathan
