SUMMARY
Ian Worth, a photographer with 20 years of full-frame experience, shares his reasons for switching to a Micro Four Thirds system for woodland landscapes. He found that weight and portability became more important over time, leading him to shoot more and overthink less. The Micro Four Thirds system's reach also allowed him to isolate details and compress scenes effectively. Worth acknowledges the trade-offs in low light and dynamic range compared to larger sensors, but notes these were less impactful for his outdoor shooting conditions. He emphasizes that the portability advantage depends on specific lens choices, not just the sensor format.
