The other difference is that the MFT aspect ratio (W/H of the image) is different than full frame or APS-C. Both of those are 3/2 format, whereas MFT is a 4/3 format, so, if you send your images to Costco (or other mass market printers) for 4x6 prints, they will come back missing some of the top and bottom of each image, or, you'll have white space on the sides.

This is good info as I was wondering why it is called 4/3 (rather then 3/4 of maybe APS-C).
