Gave up my 40D for a Micro 4/3 and sorry.

With the OM-D we are in a completely different boat. The OM-D is larger than the E-PL2 and has a much better sensor and processor. I have viewed photos taken with the OM-D and they are very impressive. Bad part is that it's a little out of my price range. I can get a 60D used body for a pretty reasonable price. aQUOTE=cputeq007;15502​770]Switched over to full m43, great system. OM-D is awesome, but ergonomics arent for everyone.[/QUOTE]

Yes, I agree. The 60D will definitely outperform my E-PL2 for action shots.

I switched over to a GH2 and a bunch of lenses for a year. It was fine for a while, but I came to realize that it was not well suited for action or wildlife photography. After a frustrating air show, I decided to go back. First a 60D and now the 5D Mark III. Talk about swinging all the way back...

Part of the problem is that a GH2 does not fit well in a coat pocket, especially with the 14-140mm kit lens. So, I still ended up with a camera bag. I was expecting too much. I think I will likely stick with large DSLRs for the majority of my photography and possibly get something like a Fuji X100 for travel.

Yes, after a few rounds with the grip it came off the camera and I just packed an extra battery. Much less bulkier. For what I do I would not buy another grip for a camera.

One of the reasons your Gripped 40D was bulky is that it was "gripped"! With the very decent battery useage of all Canon DSLR cameras plus the simplicity of switching one battery in the body, I cannot understand why I would want a grip...

OH YES, a button for the portrait mode. Well, that's not enough reason for me!

It has its pros and cons. The E-PL2 does not track action shots very well. Hard to get a sharp picture of a gull in flight.

So the grass wasn't really greener then...?

Yes, you are all thumbs with it. I have a 4/3 Olympus 35mm macro w/adaptor and the lens looks out of place on it.

This has always been my biggest complaint. I laugh when I see big lenses (comparatively) on a mirrorless camera as it has to be an ergonomical nightmare.

Thanks for your insight.

i want a 4/3 to compliment my 60d so that i ALWAYS have a camera with me. Especially for street photography or when I just go hang out. I would never replace my 60d with a 4/3 though.

gotta have both!
