OMG...tell me thiis guy is wrong about micro four thirds

One reason you see more shallow DOF shots these days is that not everyone can do it.  It's a shorthand for telling the world (or potential clients) you have something more than just a point and shoot or basic camera with kit lens that anyone can buy for a few hundred dollars.  Right now, more expensive cameras are better at a few things:

• Making really big prints
• Shooting shallow DOF 
• Tracking autofocus

Of these, only shallow DOF is obvious for web sized images.  (It used to be that high FPS was a also discriminator, but no longer.)
