Yes there's a lot of appeal to this but I'd rather use a larger sensor (physical size and pixels) and for the over US$7k the kit would cost a body with a 5 MP 4/3 sensor isn't adequate. I'm taking AA's advice: the best camera is the biggest one you're willing to carry. In the last few years I've flirted with the idea on a 645 system but the size of the lenses killed the idea; in the digital realm I'm willing to carry more than a 4/3 body.
