So, it is a religion after all

I've been responsible for two EM-5 conversions in the last month. Dad has been looking for a new camera for a long time, wanting to step up from the various Canon S's and G's that he's been using for the past several years. I suggested many things including the Sony RX100, but never the EM-5. But when I showed him my EM-5, he was amazed at how fast and responsive it is, and how it made him feel like he was using 'an old film SLR, a real camera'. He bought one shortly thereafter.
Then one of Dad's friends noticed that we were both using the EM-5! He used to own Olympus SLR's years ago, but has moved to Nikon DSLR's since then. He was looking for a good camera for his wife, and he asked me why I chose the EM-5 instead of a camera like a Sony NEX. I talked about the lens choices, the versatility and the speed, and showed mine to him. He loved it, and soon his wife had a New Year's present.
Have you done any EM-5 conversions?

Whence comes the impulse to proselytize?
Intensity of conviction is not the main factor which impels a movement to spread its faith to the four corners of the earth: religions of great intensity often confine themselves to condemning, destroying, or at best pitying what is not themselves. Nor is the impulse to proselytize an expression of an overabundance of power which as Bacon has it "is like a great flood, that will be sure to overflow."
The missionary zeal seems rather an expression of some deep misgivings, some pressing feeling of insufficiency at the center.
