rethinking Micro Four Thirds in 2016

I might be mistaken but reading your reasoning it sounds like you have lots of spending money for this hobby. What now is called "Full Frame" (35 mm) was not that long ago a piddly small film size that would never make it over the 6x6 camera's (Bronica etc) that were used by wedding photographers etc.

Please sell of all your MFT gear at fire-sale prices, then start pondering about what to buy next and in the meantime we can pick up some hardly used good stuff.

Then after you've aquired your Canon 1D (whatever version) with L lenses you try to travel on a plane outsdide the US where the limit of carry on luggage is 5 or 7 Kg. You'll find that you'll have to put your laptop, camera and lenses into the checked luggage (but not your batteries) and after arrival some stuff is missing and your tripod is all bent. Afterwards when wanting to photograph something you can go only to places with decent transport because it is too heavy to take with you on a walk to a location that is not crowded with tourists all taking the same picture.

Oops, now you'll miss that little MFT system so you better have a fire sale of thet Canon gear.

You would not think of switching to larger gear than the FF, yet it was not that long ago that 35mm was looked down upon. 35mm took off with the masses because they could carry a camera with them - there was not so much luxury as having umpteen different primes and zooms in one's bag. The camera hang by a strap around their neck, together with a flash somewhere for inside use, and that was it.

News sensors are just over the horizon with more resolution etc etc. By then FF will be a dinasour.

The depreciation on a Canon L lens is more than the purchase price of a MFT lens and that is if you sell it before it is replaced by the next model.

But go ahead and be happy with your new gear and kick yourself when you are dead tired at the end of the day hauling all that gear around while I'm enjoying the views, walking around town or in the hills or where ever and get the spontaneous award winning shots that the big gear carrying crowd misses.

All satire aside but asking a stranger on a website about what photographic equipment YOU need is like asking a stranger what for a person you should have as a wife.

For twelve and half years I was a professional photographer and worked with whatever gear was at hand. If we could make pictures then with a Minox that were good enough to finish up in National Geographic then what's wrong with the gear you've got now?
