Cameras?

The 4/3 sensor is actually not "much" smaller than the sensor used in consumer level DSLR's... 3.72cm^2 vs 2.43cm^2 (Nikon D90 vs Pana GF1). It is much smaller, however than a full-frame 35mm sized sensor, but the OP was talking about consumer level cameras, and not the professional bodies. Sure, there's a tradeoff, and the bigger sensors will always be better, but the flip side is the MUCH higher portability of the 4/3 and (especially) micro 4/3 cameras. (as an example, the GF-1 is less than half the weight of a D90)

As the graphic I posed above shows, the REALLY small sensors are the ones in the point and shoot cameras. Those really bump your pixel density way up.

Hell, a professional would just go for a Hasselblad anyway, right? ;)
 
Do any of these have a built in flash or will I have to go to the expense of a seperate flash also, including one more piece of gear to carry?
