You can get VERY small mft cameras, such as the Panasonic GM1 (5 or 6 ounces) and GM5.

yes but if you look in my post above in the link i used the GM5 as an EG the canon M2 is a simula size and is APS-c  here

I think the larger bodies are purposely large for handling reaosns, especially with larger lenses, plus people think "bigger is better" and are more willing to spend $1k on a larger heavier body.

Yep, DOF is less, but it's easier to get a fast/bright lens on m4t and they are a lot smaller than FF or even APS-C. The Panasonic F2.5 14mm (28mm equivalent) lens only weighs 2 ounces! That lens and a reasonably light

you also did not look at the other link on my other post if you read.. in the tread every mFT lens that that people say way very small i find a equivalent in FL and F stop that was the same size or smaller  here ...The FF equivalent to the panny F2.5 14mm will be around F5.4 28mm if such a lens existed it will be the same size or smaller

NO its harder to find fast lenses in mFT like my 50mm F1.4 will need to be a 25mm  F0.7 !!!that will be big

but if you dont want to get creative with shallow DOF or it not fit your style thats fine

body could be carried by my R/C plane or quadrotor/drone...that's what first attracted me to mft.

Also, the "multiplier" is 2x, so a 300mm lens is 600mm full frame equivalent...but of course you can similarly "digital zoom/crop" images from larger sensors, so that's a bogus argument.
