Could you go 1 more year with the way m4/3s is today?

Aug 9, 2010

The question is “if m4/3s did not improve the cameras or lenses for 1 more year(Fall 2011), could you get by with what is available today or would you switch to another format”? Do the current cameras have enough of the features that you want that you wouldn’t switch for at least a year?

Are you satisfied with the quality of videos and stills that you are getting from m4/3s or are you just dying for an upgrade because you can’t get the shot you really want right now? Also, do you think the upgrade needs to be to the camera, the lens, or both?

Knowing what you already know, if you didn’t have any interchangeable lenses or cameras right now and you were a first time buyer would you still buy into m4/3s or do you think you would buy something else?

What camera and lens would you buy if you didn’t have any other cameras and you had to buy one for some shots(videos or pictures) that you wanted to take tonight?

Just curious about how anxious people are to upgrade.
