Why Micro Four Thirds is ideal for street photography

  • Micro Four Thirds cameras are small and unobtrusive (even less obtrusive than a rangefinder camera),
  • MFT cameras are light and easy to carry,
  • the larger depth of field due to the smaller sensor enables you to shoot at f/4 with the same d-o-f as with f/8 on full-frame, yet twice as fast shutter speeds.
