M43 is so close to dealing the final death blow to the Canikon Colossus, it is just one perfectly, godly, unstoppable camera away from obsoleting all crop DSLRs in one fell swoop. All that is needed is a slightly redesigned OM-D E-M6 with real PDAF and wifi, and that will be the end of DX and APS-C forever.

And a bigger body, and a better grip, and an optical viewfinder, and 5-10 times better battery life, and a better system, and the ability to move up in format size with the same lenses, and a better service system and a better reliability record.

I'd rather have my 8 year old APS-c dSLR than the camera you described.  By far.  Not even close, in fact.  Micro 4/3 is a dead-end by definition.  You can't get an OVF and you can't move up in format size.  Maybe those are some of the reasons it sells so poorly globally.

The new Epson microdisplay is a bad joke compared to a low-end pentamirror OVF.
