With all due respect, that statement is the fiction. Anyone who thinks that the high ISO noise of any 4/3 camera can compare with full frame, for example, is living in cloud cuckoo land.

With all due respect to you - how does full-frame come into this this discussion? I think you've just reinforced my point.

And with all remaining respect, I said it was an example - the same applies to APS-C, but to a lesser extent - but this is in response to you wrongly saying that the issue is a red herring. It may effectively be for you, but that's not an absolute, and your posting was therefore misleading. It IS an issue, the question is simply one of if that issue is important to the individual making a purchase decision or not. Trying to pretend it doesn't exist is downright unhelpful - giving the balanced view that Rob did can really help the OP. You seem to me to be far more interested in promoting the 4/3 system than helping the OP, and I find that extremely sad - it could well be that it's the right decision for him, but only if he accepts that there is a slight trade-off in this area for the reduced size and weight of the system - it's not an unreasonable trade-off, and one that would probably suit the majority of photographers, but to pretend it's not there, well...

There’s clearly no remaining respect. Do you need to be so pedantic and patronising? I guess that to enthusiastically endorse 4/3 will inevitably be characterised in such terms as ‘extremely sad’ and ‘in cloud cuckoo land’. My initial comments were intended to be helpful, and were based on my own experience. I apologise to anyone who finds such an endorsement offensive.
