Am I correct that in Macro work, the main advantage of Full Frame is due to the sensor size, (1:1 = 1:1 and it is simply quite a bit larger) and a main advantage of a smaller sensor like micro 4/3rds is an increased Depth of Field? If that is correct, would an even smaller sensor like in the FZ300 produce an even greater Depth of Field? Thank you in advance, …Joe

In addition to what others have said, for the end user, M4/3 offers an additional advantage of saving bulk and weight. If you shoot a lot in the field, this might be important for you.

Full frame will likely always be a better light bucket system, so you have to weigh the tradeoffs. I believe you can get great results with both, tho I own neither lol. For now with my aging APSC system and a TG6 is adequate, tho I will probably upgrade soon to Olympus and get either the 60mm or the rumored 90mm..
