Main reason to go MFT over DSLR

Sep 20, 2011

Since you still have to buy lenses, what is the main reason for buying MFT other than DSLR besides the size and weight? Many DSLR's are fairly small and the larger sensor would seem to be a factor for going that route IMO. Just the way I think and no rant. PLEASE.
