Like with my audio hobby, I no longer spend insane amount of money for a very small amount improvement, ESPECIALLY in the department of so called image quality. That kind of differences belong to scientific test labs, not the real world. In the real world, ergonomics, usability, durability...

No me. The RX1 package will cost about $4000. With the money, I'll get a few nice lenses for my GX1, and perhaps travel a bit to take more pictures. RX1 is nice and all, but that money can be better spent elsewhere now. In two years, Panasonic will have...
Naveed, thanks for sharing the size comparison link. That is extremely useful.
I agree with most of what everyone is saying here. I do hope we will soon arrive at a day when we don't have to argue so much about digital noise, color bit depth any more.
My camera journey started with the...
FF lenses are still MUCH bigger than m43 lenses though. When you have a few of these, they really add up. Here are some examples:
Canon 70-300 mm F4-5.6: 1.39 lbs
Canon 70-300 mm F4 L: 2.31 lbs
Panasonic 45-200 mm (90-400 equiv.) F4-5.6: 0.84 lbs
My bag of GX1, 14-45 mm, 20 mm pancake...
True, to some degree. If you view the 5' poster from 2 ft away, maybe. But if you view it from a few feet away, then the differences very quickly evaporate. I've printed some 6mp image to 36" wide and they looked surprisingly good.

May I slightly modify your post to: all else being equal, a larger sensor will deliver slightly better results.
There are so many variables in producing an image (print or otherwise), and sensor size/quality is only one of them. As the "kidding" article demonstrated, sensor quality...
