Thanks!

I don't blame you, Paul.
I'm concentrating all my funds to launch a website.
Otherwise, I'd be shooting with a black OM-D already  |

That 45 1.8 and either the Panny 40 1.7 or the Leica 25 1.5 are calling me!!! Assuming I take the plunge, can't decide to go silver body or black; they both look so damn cute!!

Aside from semantics, it can't be said that the only advantage of FF is DOF or dynamic range, etc. As with film, the larger the sensor the better. Whatever a smaller sensor can do, a larger one can do more of. So surface area matters.

It does if you're pixel-peeping. Don't pixel-peep (preferably, print), and that problem largely goes away. Also, you can set the level of sharpening to JPEGs. I always set it low. |

Hmmm, no camera is perfect. Sometimes I think that I should buy a box of watercolor pencils :-)

If you just focus on what bothers you, you won't take any pictures.

I always shoot RAW and do whatever sharpening that may or may not be necessary in post processing.

I personally can see the 'look' I was talking about at medium-ish print sizes, but only when compared to other more expensive cameras of course.
I don't think it's a raw/jpeg thing either, as I've always shot raw with 4/3 cameras. |
