Jonny, I'm not sure why you say comments re sensor size are BS, but taking "quality" pictures and getting the absolute best capture are not necessarily the same thing. Believe me, I know having won and judged professional competitions. A larger sensor simply gives more area for incredibly smooth tonal transitions. If you have facts to dispute my comments on the benefits of large sensor/film size, I am open to them. Yes, like in the over all public, there are jerks out there with cameras. Some that don't have a clue and don't know what they don't know or are just camera collectors who NEVER show their photos, unless it is a photo of their gear. And learn to recognize a collector vs an actual photographer. I always point out that my most awarded photo was taken with a 10 mp camera with one of nikons 10 worst lenses. So I tell folks, NEVER let anyone diss you because of your gear. In my case it was an on field NFL photographer who when he saw my photo come up, jumped out of his chair and wanting to know who made this image and how it was done. When my name was called for best in class and him awarding me the speakers award and I stood up, his jaw hit the floor. Priceless. This is called photo graphy, not camera graphy.
I didn't mean that there is no difference with sensor size or that one may be better than another. I meant a lot of the arguments that go on between those arguing sensor size is BS. There are pros and cons to each and in general a bigger sensor is usually always better. There is no argument in that. These days your photos speak to what kind of photographer you are not the camera you use or its sensor size. Almost any camera out there can take fantastic pictures. Just look at cell phones.
I bought into M43 for a variety of reasons. The big one being that I have a small, lightweight system that I can easily take on hikes and I am not lugging around a massive 600mm lens. I don't use tripods and I don't sit in one spot taking pictures. There other reasons as well but that was top for me.
