Re: What I've seen, using both ZD and MZD...

I'm with you on most of this, apart from one or two points:

Well yes, but the Pentax system was still quite bulky.
Hmmm ... The K5 is a lovely size, especially for those who bought into FT because of the original E1.
The MFT setup is tiny.
But yes. MFT can indeed be a lot smaller.
Let's come from the other direction - if you made an OM-D with PDAF and a (detachable) honking great grip, for which Sony and hence Oly now have the technology, you have the best of all possible worlds. Slam on grip and ZD lenses and you have a system that gives away only a bit of IQ and flexibility to FF but is far smaller.
Er ... depends on what lenses you slap on! most of the faster ones are as you know the same size as FF ones, so the total system isn't going to really be smaller, unless you 'downgrade' to HG from SHG. And then you often do give up more than a 'bit' of flexibility to FF.
Exactly what FT always promised. Detach the grip, put your ZDs away and pocket some MFT primes, and you have a truly tiny prime based system. Everyone wins.
Indeed. And I can see this being a very compelling solution if they pull it off.
The only gotcha, around here, is,
(er ... actually ... there are more than one gotcha ... like ... is any CDAF option actually going to be able to focus accurately enough?)
some people have stayed because they just don't like EVFs. Well, there's clearly personal preference involved, but I shoot in dim light, bright light, action and landscape, and I can find no way in which the OM-D EVF is unsatisfactory and several ways in which it is very clever, so while there may be some whose particular ocular physiognomy it does not suit, most just need to get with the program.
It could of course be that some shooters have far more highly developed reflexes and sensory acuity than others. The former can observe and get frustrated by the limitations of an EVF, while the sloth like unwashed masses stumble on, oblivious of any failings
(edit ... there is a smiley wink at the end ... but the DPR formatting system strikes again...)
