Ah, K. Thanks for the reply.
That seems to imply that you use MF for film tho... No?

Here we go...I don't like to project any further than 5 years forward these days - you just don't know what disruptive technology can come along.
We have been inundated with "ground breaking", "game changing", "7* (out of a possible 5 :ROTFL technologies every other month. So, pretty much this "unknown" technology does not elicit any excitement.I guess it's the technology we don't know about which will be most disruptive.
Make the most of what you've got, it will be outclassed soon enough

because you say so, that's a good argument... :toocool:Please forgive my lack of clarity.
My point is that you are wrong.
Honestly as far as native mirrorless systems there's Micro 4/3 and nothing else really. Sony has a lot of great bodies/ sensors but really not many great lenses. Fuji has great lenses and a great bodies (even if slightly quirky) but it's just a limited system still. Samsung is mostly non-existent. Canon EOS-M is in it's infancy. Nikon took a half hearted approach with the 1 line so not to cannibalize dSLR sales.... you guys are talking me back into loving my m43rds system... it is definitely a love/hate thing with me...

(SR4) New Sony “foveon similar” sensor tecnology? | sonyalpharumorsSorry Vivek, LL definitely mentions a sensor and camera manufacturer. I thought that Nikon source their sensor's from Sony?
My point is, we're getting to the pace of change where, if you're prepared to change your system to get the next big feature, there will always be something along shortly.We have been inundated with "ground breaking", "game changing", "7* (out of a possible 5 :ROTFL technologies every other month. So, pretty much this "unknown" technology does not elicit any excitement.
Hi There... you guys are talking me back into loving my m43rds system... it is definitely a love/hate thing with me...

Agree. I will say up until now I've always preferred the Panasonic bodies by far but the OM-D looks to be a winner... No pun intended.Hi There
It seems you're using the panasonic bodies exclusively - might I suggest that you beg/borrow/steal/rent and OMD - just for a few days - it might solve your problem?
So nicely put AminI've been thinking quite a bit about this as well...

If and when the day comes that there is a larger format system that can match the size and lens system maturity of our current MFT system, then what will be left for MFTs? Size. If some day there can be a Sony NEX full frame camera with a 90mm f/2 lens the size of a current Oly 45/1.8, then there's no reason the Oly lens can't be made even smaller. For me the bottom line is that today's MFTs system meets my image quality and versatility threshold, and the more they can shrink the lenses while continuing to meet that standard, the better.

I've personally looked at all the other mirrorless options and pretty much everything leads back to Micro 4/3. Yes you can adapt and that's what I do for my NEX stuff but as far as a complete mirror less system there's Micro 4/3 and nothing else... yet.
I'm probably going to get rid of my Sony Alpha soon as I don't see much advantage anymore. Yes FF is better and I have my M for that but for zooms I want something on the small side so I will probably pick up an OM-D since I still have the G1.
Yeah I really like the results of the Sony kit but I hate the size of the lenses. I've gotten more accustomed to having the M and it takes care of 90% of what I do with a camera now (once I get my MM then I imagine that the 35 Cron will be a body cap for the MM and the 50 Lux for the M9-P.) The OM-D would certainly be sufficient for telephoto from the results I've seen especially with the Panasonic X lenses. That being said the Sony G 70-200/2.8 is an impressive lens in quality and size (for me.) Selling the kit will certainly pay for an OM-D kit and then some as I still have my G1.Hi There
It's what I did (sold the Sony kit) Sadly, because it was really good.
These days I have the Leica stuff (for my FF small DOF penchant) and a couple of OMD bodies and some lenses for the rest.
It makes a grand combination, and it's hard to see how someone is going to supersede it very soon (it's not quick to build up a good lens system).
Looks like Panasonic is developing a 150mm f/2.8.Yeah I really like the results of the Sony kit but I hate the size of the lenses.

Okay, I am sorry but you are simply the worst type of pixel peeper. You take a tiny piece of information and expand it into a misleading grand conclusion that is directly at odds with real world results.because you say so, that's a good argument... :toocool:
If I had to pick 1 camera and two lenses for the rest of my life, this would be it:One of the fascinating sides of m4/3 is that I can take an E-PL5, with the same excellent sensor as the OM-D and a tilting LCD as well, add the 12mm f/2.0, the 20mm f/1.7 and the 45mm f/1.8, all excellent lenses and the whole packaging weighing less than 700g and costing less than $2,500 (Yes, that's less than the RX-1, both figures). Already at this stage, the image quality is good enough for almost any use I can think of, but in a pocketable package...
