I think you are looking at different market segments here.

Both Canon and Nikon have a very American view of their camera ranges, the bigger the better. Even though you can make FF cameras and lenses a lot smaller than they are today, the producers at least seem to think that the market want big heavy gear. Perhaps to show off? (You can see the 1Dx is better than the 650D simply because it is twice the size... Sort of like American cars) ....

You are simply right.

Just compare the "pro"- market aimed Panasonic GH3 to the small Olympus OM-D - same sensor size and features but very different size. .."The bigger the better ...."

No pro will never ever build up a m43 equipment in order to have a smaller alternative to carry around - as advertised by panasonic!

Well, there are pros having completely switched to mFT.

This guy, for instance, wrote the other week in the German DSLR forum that he is doing all his wqedding pgotography with two E-M5s, today.
