Why buy APS-C bodies over FF? Cost is the general reason. m4/3 over DSLR? Size. Cost as well since the Pens get into point and shoot prices pretty quickly as they age and I imagine most people just use a kit lens.
My sister is looking for a new camera. She's using my old FZ-35 right now and likes it. I almost have her talked into a used k-7. It would give her decent results in green mode. On the other hand she might be better served with a cheap EP1 or something. I think I'm going to take her to best buy and have her hold and use a bunch of cameras and see what she prefers and work from there. She does like the viewfinder on the FZ-35 over the LCD so there's that.She wants a camera that "will take pictures like" mine. That made me laugh.
