Lovely feather detail! My daughter isn't a "pixel peeper" but is a birder and was delighted to see how the feathers of a (Eurasian) robin "worked" here, what with all the overlapping om the shoulder. I suspect that birders have a slightly different mindset to some other people.That is not my experience with my nature photographer and ornithologist friends.
When I and other nature photographers zoom in to look at feather detail, we are interested in its beauty and design, not the softness of pixels.
I think the point is that a "pixel peeper" would be annoyed that focus isn't quite on the eyes, but that's not the point of interest to a naturalist.
Posted purely for feather detail. Honestly!

You don't crop the lens, you're cropping pixels from the image and comparing it to a full res image from a smaller sensor. If I want to get the same FOV from my FF as I do from my cx I use a longer focal length. I use a 40mm macro on my V3 and a 105mm macro on my D800, the d800 puts twice as many pixels on point as my V3.
I am focal length limited on my D800 compared to my V3 tho so for really long stuff I use my V3 with a 70-300. this gives a similar angle of view as my D800 would with a 800mm lens. I don't have one of those so I use what I have but I don't kid myself that the V3 image would be as good as my D800 with an 800mm lens......

Really? Can you cite or link to someone thinking something remotely similar to what you claim here?
And you and others haven't said anything along the lines of -
"m43 is good enough"
"difference with larger sensor doesn't show in prints"
"20mp is more than enough for large prints. Hell! even 8mp is enough"
.....and therefore nobody should own anything better etc etc.

And there's nowhere to mount a tow bar on my Ferrari ... and it's lousy on dirt roads and sand dunes ... ;-) .

NjoyCam: Great question and love the pics. I have a Canon SL1 (Aps-C) when I want the best resolution or need a good lens setup, Panasonic LX100 (m43) that I carry almost everywhere (gotta love the f1.4), Panasonic FZ2500 (1”) for great cine and finally a DJI Mavic Pro for pics from above.
The sensor sizes range all over the place, but the funny part is my Mavic has the smallest sensor size, but 3 times now I have shot sunset photos that were featured as backgrounds on one of the national cable weather channels. I must say they looked great.
I’ve learned so much about composure over the years from Pros that I no longer worry about sensor size. It would be different if I was working for a news agency, sports or as a wedding photographer, but I do this for fun. The drone photos were a fluke situation by running into someone who worked there and I must say the pictures were pretty stunning.
My thoughts?? (Since you asked in your post [smile]) I would use what gear I loved and could afford and rock on. Your pics look great. Get a good backpack that you can throw a piece of gear in and try to take it everywhere. I shoot photos like they are water coming out of the hose. Hey! It’s digital... no film to process. I just throw away what sucks. Keep up the great photos and have fun.

So Nikon 1 is a better system for Macro photography than m43rds after all then.

Just to mix up the analogies: Isn't it odd that the Olympics has so many events? Surely there should be just one prize, for "Best At Sports."

Why not, indeed ... :-D
It depends on lenses you can use it with it. Also on availability of some accessories, like extension tubes and macro bellows. You can do amazing macro with some compact cameras, but you are quite limited by the non-interchangeable lens. There are also compromises due to higher noise (as a consequence of smaller pixels), but this can be compensated to a degree by good lightning.
These are all factors related to the optics (lens), not to the sensor. Nothing changes the fact that due to the higher linear resolution of the sensor you will be able to capture more details with an m4/3 than with a full-frame (using the same macro lens or telescope).

you can use most things with an F mount, some lenses you may need to manually focus with though, as for the lighting and noise that applies to any camera especially as the sensors get smaller
For some strange reason some folks, including you, have a hard time understanding what we are really talking about.
Nobody here is saying that Honda is the same as Ferrari. We are just saying, that it will get you to work just as fast.
I really don't get it why, if I write "Honda will get you to work as fast as Ferrari", some read that as "Honda is the same as Ferrari"? And than get all excited and start replaying that Honda is not the same as Ferrari. Problems with basic reading comprehension?
