Yes and no. I wanted to be sure I was right about one simple thing. Lenses and lenses only. Equivelant lenses. I did get the nice point that m43 and apsc both open up smaller less expensive lenses as long as someone is willong to forgo equivelant depth of feild. Instead opened up an ever persistent flame war.

Sigh

In my mind, your comparison misses the essential reasons for choosing an M43 system.

The reasons I chose, and stay, with M43 are

1) Smaller and larger camera bodies available that share the same lens system. Smaller camera does not necessarily imply lower quality sensor.

2) Camera bodies from different vendors with different feature set/evolution available that share the same lens system

3) High quality lenses available for smaller sensor size

4) High degree of compatibility with lenses from other systems, including 4/3 and Canon EF with full AF and AE

5)  Really good stabilization on most lenses

6) Possible to put together a reasonably high quality reasonably small system for affordable cost
