Adam, I did read what you said and understood what you said (as well as your grammar would permit). The problem is, despite what you intended to say, your words say something different. You made mistakes, and screwed your statement. Perhaps you could have a fine career as a Japlish to Engrish instruction manual interpreter.
You began your paragraph on the subject of Olympus 's 4/3 cameras thus, "So Oly IS stuck with a small format sensor when the market is moving seriously towards larger sensors. m43 will be a different case, in that market the primary competition will be the small sensor 'bridge' P&S's, not DSLR's and m43 will have serious IQ advantages, particularly at high ISO's." If you mean to change the subject, then you need to begin a new paragraph, that's why we use paragraphs. Your statement, on the tail of a grammatically fault-ridden sentence, was that " m43 will have serious IQ advantages, particularly at high ISO's." You didn't clearly and correctly say what m43 had the advantage over, but a new paragraph wasn't begun so it follows that the subject of the paragraph must still have been Olympus 4/3. Even though you made a passing reference to bridge cameras as market competitors to m43, the faulty structure of that sentence made it a self-contained statement and apparently not part of the ensuing comparison. The meaning might swing either way, but it was ambiguous and the only way to decipher it was to follow the grammar. That was wrong so it all went to hell in a handbasket. BTW, as I write this, 'MS Word' is flagging your sentence, demanding that I revise it. Now that you've revisited your writings your intended meaning is clear (maybe). Don't blame me for the misunderstanding. You need to write better. Regards, Anthony P.S. Now you've done it, you've turned me into a Grammar Nazi. P.P.S.
