I hadn't looked at his site for awhile, but checked this one out--probably because I still have this thing for FF shooting. I also have 2 1.6x crop factor bodies--and have thought about the 4/3rd sensor in relation to the FF--and the 1.6x. But--one of the things that really jumped out at me as I read the information was this about crop bodies---
"On the other hand, this also means that one is carrying a much larger lens than is necessary-- a factor particularly relevant to those carrying their camera for extended periods of time (see section below)".

That's why I was still looking for the right camera even after buying a used 400D this past summer for hiking, etc. (instead of my 5D). And--why the m4/3rds makes great sense for just this reason. My largest lenses for the G1 are the Oly 9-18 and the FD 135 f/2.8--both very small in comparison to even my small Canon EF primes.
