First off it’s not you, it’s Instagram. It comes down to a few very simple things that can be summed up in three words and two reasons: chronological order and saturation.

At least once a day I see a social media rant about other photographers, also referred to as “the competition”, and how they are “devaluing” photography. I see it across the board from wedding and newborn photography to commercial work and fashion photography. petapixel.com »

No camera system provokes more opinion and vitriol than Micro Four-Thirds. It is the most divisive system out there; you either love it or stay clear. Micro Four-Thirds (MFT) cameras have been around for a long time, with the story beginning in 2008 when Panasonic brought out the G1, closely followed by the Olympus E-P1.

Okay, I bet that got your attention. This is a multi-page article, to check out the other pages, use the number selector at the bottom of the article. I have long talked about the need for smaller travel cameras that we got spoiled with, with the EOS-M system.
There are reports floating around that Panasonic may be about to enter the full-frame fixed lens camera space with an official announcement coming this month. Currently, Leica and their Q3 is the only other camera in the FF fixed lens camera space (there is also the monochrom Q2 which actually costs more).
