'Little'...isn't that what M4/3 is supposed to be all about?

Yes, the 4/3 sensor allows the equivalent field of view and light gathering objectives to be about 50-60% smaller than 35mm format objectives.

It isn't there to make ultimately smallest and lightest camera. You can get such with 4/3 sensor like Panasonic GM1 but you will suffer from bad body size if you don't have small hands or you need faster controls.

So if you want small and light, of course you have bought then only the GM1 or GM5 as everything else is just too big?
