rethinking Micro Four Thirds in 2016

You have your analyses, you have your requirements. What should we think about? To me it is all about the system, so lenses too and that combo's size and weight. Not much has changed at all.

Since 2012 mFTs has had its own development too. Much better AF especially C-AF with Panasonics, but also EM1. Video and still IQ has gone up (but for stills compared to the Em5, which is also 2012, not much). Lens choice is still to my mind by far the best and unqiue in the mirrorless segment but most importantly I cannot find equivalents in my case in any other systemcam.

But to each their own. We can make a fuss about the details, but Sony and Fuji will get you where you want too (Fuji not for video, okey..). So does it matter? If you are nitpicking like me it does, but a more realistic view tells me that "not so much" is the better answer.

Sony has BIG covered.  The A6000 is too big for most pockets and almost all their lenses rated above dismal are too big or too heavy to be pocket-able.  None can compete with the 20mm F/1.7 or 45mm F/1.8 on a GM5.  It gets even worse if one wants a longer focal length.   All the Sony lenses over 80mm (EFL) are HUGE while the aforementioned 45mm (90mm) is very small.

The best part about M43 (and Nikon 1) is one can carry a whole system comfortably in their pockets, no bag needed.   We are left free to use both hands for activities without the worry of leaving (in the case of an A7 and a few lenses) a $3000-$5000 system somewhere accidentally.
