I like my PM2, but your camera was the least important element in that shot. Number 1 was the lighting and number 2 was the lens. The camera just sat there and recorded what the first two did.
Number 1 is always the skill and vision of the photographer. The light, lens, and camera only matter insofar as the photographer's ability to utilize them, and that's why all the obsession I see in this forum over which lens/camera is "the best" is a pointless waste of time and bandwidth. I've seen photos captured with a smartphone, or point-and-shoot camera, that match or exceed, aesthetically, any image you can show me that was photographed with a "professional" camera and lens.

Ed - I thought that pretty much went without saying. The most important element in any photo system is the human one.
That said, I rarely if ever see someone with a smartphone or point-and-shoot who knows how to use lighting or even cares to try.
