The main reasons i use MFT is because:

The size. My only and main body is the GM1. I have had so far - E-M5, E-PM2, E-M10 that I bought and sold but I don't think I will ever sell the GM1. Its that good.

It also allowed me to learn about photography and have a platheora of interchangeable lenses. I have bought and sold close to 8-10 lenses and the fact that both Panasonic and Olympus makes them for the system and compete on both bodies and lenses makes this the most attractive camera system for me.

I have never owned DSLRs so I guess I have never known anything better. More than happy with my results. They perform better than my iPhone/Point & shoot cameras in the past.

I will never get a DSLR because they are huge/heavy and bulky.

This is my dream combo. 20mm F1.7 on the GM1. Try finding a similar price/weight/quality ratio anywhere lese.

That's s shock that you choose a GM1 and forgo the EVF and ergonomics of the other camera.

It's so tiny and I see your points.

Thanks for the contribution and lovely photos on Flickr!

I will take a closer look the the GM1.

Best

Ask not what the camera can do, ask what you can do with the camera.
