I think I've got you beat by a year or two. First "real" (35mm) camera was my mom's Argus C3 in 1966, second real camera was a 1949 Rolleiflex Automat which my grandfather loaned me in '67 or '68. I re-acquired a Hasselblad system last year, and am delighted I did so.... My preference for 3:2 comes maybe from my decades long background shooting film cameras (yes I am that old - had my first DSLR a Minolta SRT101 back in 1967 if I remember right). The other format preference is square, which comes from my time with Hasselblad V system

It's funny. I have actually been feeling a bit jaded going into the camera shop lately. I mean, the equipment I have is so darn good there's little point to changing it, and all the reason to just using it.... Coming back to the GH4 - I need to handle one, but from what I can tell reading reviews this camera indeed comes close to the old Leica R camera ecosystem - even a bit smaller. And offering such advanced video capabilities (4k) is for sure a big plus.

Times are really exciting!
