I was an early adopter for Micro Four Thirds, starting with the Panasonic GF1 in 2009. Since then there have been numerous questions, and many misconceptions about µ43 vs Full Frame (and other crop sensor) cameras. 2023 Update: Just wanted to provide a quick update that yes, I still indeed use both Micro Four Thirds and Full Frame cameras!
