I shoot with a EM1 MIII and love the M43 system. I sell my work online and through galleries. At NO point has anyone said, "oh, I'm not buying your work because you didn't shoot it with FF" or asked what type/brand of camera the pic was shot with! Its the person behind the camera, not the camera!

I really hope M43 doesn't die out and they manage to recapture the entry level market. The OM-1ii has some insane capabilities for wildlife photography and the GH7 has video features that beat cameras twice the price.<br><br>Buying into this system with a cheaper body would be very appealing for those looking to upgrade in the future.

I was just about to comment that I just picked up a micro 4/3 camera recently an I am not an old man! I then remembered I am in my mid 40's and younger photographers might disagree with me :) Also I have been buying micro 4/3 bodies and lenses recently on the used market and I am loving them. Mostly for their size and ibis, its a good time to play with great used cameras.

Very good analysis of the state of affairs. I am a cashed-up old guy who has recently bought into the system to supplement my FF cameras. I agree completely with your summation: Doesn't matter; go have fun with your cameras.

It's crazy that MFT is not more popular. It would suit so many photographers. Not just wildlife ones. The misnomer "crop sensor" is a real problem, I feel. Too many people think that FF is the only option.

32 here. Bought my first digital camera last month and chose a GX85. I take it everywhere. Just shot over 2k pictures over 2 days in Gettysburg. I love the camera and this system and hope it stays around for a long time and continues to be developed.

As a macro photographer there's just no beating MFT. I hope it sticks around.

I'm 42 and have been a M43 shooter since my 30th, in Brazil where there isn't even official sellers available. I have full frame and 1" too but my m43 cameras are chosen 95% of the time! Hope that after this video you might look at more M43 lenses too, your reviews are great!

32 years old, living in new york, sold all of my Sony and Canon gear (most of them barely a year old), and now fully invested in MFT. I have my E-M5 as my EDC, E-M1 for more purposeful photography, and a Lumix G7 as a B cam for either purpose. <br><br>I truly hope MFT doesn't die down, especially Olympus/OMD because I just love their design and colors. But, selfishly, I hope it also doesn't get too successful that their prices skyrocket ala Fuji and that the "cool kids" and "creators" take over the brand and system I identify with the most ala Sony.

It's funny, I bought a new to me Panasonic G9 and searched YouTube for tutorials on it. My first M43 camera. I've seen a range of ages from teenagers to "old men". Even a few ladies.
