WOW! Absolutely agree; wouldn't change a word.

I do understand that some folks have body/ergonomic reasons why a smaller
camera is uncomfortable for them to use, but
it's a joy to hear the opposite position stated with such gusto and so well!
Last year, I spent a lot of time in the field carrying an E-M5 and the
considerably smaller, lighter E-PM2, side by
side. I love using the PM2 with 12-50, 9-18 and 60/2.8 macro. (although I seem
so far to get better results on average
with the macro on the M5. Time to pay more attention to technique, I suppose.)
I'm growing to rather like my newish GX7, which, although differently shaped,
is about the size and weight of of the
E-M5. But the last couple of times I've picked it up, I've wished it were a
little smaller and lighter. :-)
