The people that complain about size is because the options at the lower end that are smaller use hand me down old tech That just changed recently with em5.3, g100, em10mkiv and ep7 but just real relatively recently - and you can still argue they are a hit behind

no pdaf for em10.4 or ep7 for example

That's the problem I have with the current m4/3 lineup. The camera bodies with a design/size that really appeals to me are too limited and dumbed down.

But, if all the latest and greatest technology would be included in a smaller body, would you be willing to pay the same amount as the larger body, just to get that technology? I fear most would say no, actually just really wanting the same technology for a lower price.

So that would make a market of two, you and me, that would pay the freight.

I Would actually pay considerably more for a small but capable camera.

I'd certainly pay an extra $1000 for a GX9 with capabilities closer to the G9.

Obviously I don't know if there's enough demand to make a small but high end m43 camera viable.

Sony seem to have done quite well with the Rx100 series of compact cameras. They pack a lot of technology into a pocket sized camera and charge a premium price for it.
