Wow Ricohflex...... what a ton of prejudice opinions in your post.
No wonder you do not seems to understand all the points I made regarding your earlier statements.
From the 2 sentences in your post, you seemed to rank a brand''s image as your most important criteria
instead of other strengths like image quality or portability of the whole system.
Having a successful brand of camera is like wearing a luxury watch?
Using a brand like Olympus the photographer is a loser???
To me as a photographer, I don't really care about the brand of the camera.
I look at what I need and get the equipment that match my needs (the most cost effective one).
Carrying an expensive camera like Leica does not improve the image quality of my shots.
It's the photographer's skills and perspective.
It is very clear from the post that your seems to think that with the Sony 7c or A7mk4,
you will be seen by others as a successful photographer. Maybe around the people
you are with who keep admiring your gear?
With my buddies, we are only interested in each other photos, where and how we
took that shot etc. We seldom talk about or admire each other's equipment.
I don't even know most of my peers equipment when they share their photos.
So what if they are taken by a Seagull, Yashica, Olympus,, Canon or Sony?
Does it really matter? What's the use of the Sony Top of the line when the photographer
with the manual Seagull or M43 has a much better shot?
I think at the end of the day, the really loser are those who spend tons of money
on their equipment without being able to maximize the potential of the equipment,
and not those that use cheaper or outdated equipment.
Since you have made a sweeping statement that any photographers with M43 in the future
will be seen as a loser, why dont you post all the high end future proof equipment
you have here together with the best shots you have taken so far here
for us to see how successful you have been?

People like to wear and be seen using products associated with success, progress, forefront of technology, wealth and status.
They do not like to be seen using a product widely associated with failure.
This is the truth. (Whether is it good or bad, is another story.)
That is why some people like to wear brand name luxury watches.
It may come to a point in near future, that if one uses MFT in a photo outing, then others think of him as a Loser. This is the greatest fear of the marketing gurus at Panasonic.
After the fall of Olympus, its unsold MFT inventory will be liquidated at big discounts well below cost.
