Have you compared these two cameras side by side?

LOL

Can you put the EM5 in your pocket? No. Can you put the GH3 in the same small bag as the EM5? Yes. Is the GH3 heavier? Not really. I bet it's almost exactly the same when the EM5 has the grip mounted, and I would never use that camera without the grip.

So, a pretty dumb argument. I think your real issue is style rather than substance.

YOU might not ever use the OMD without a grip, but many of us do. Which are valid reasons why:

a. YOU prefer the GH3

b. The OMD is more POPULAR, which was the original question.

I agree that "bloated monstrosity" is inflammatory language (welcome to Tedolf's world), but the basic point is a sound one as it relates to popularity.
