Definitely interesting and worth watching. However for now the format is lacking the supertelephoto and macro lenses that wildlife photographers need. If someone releases such lenses in a 4/3 format that produce results of equivalent quality to the Canon L-series, then I would consider switching.

That said, APS-C will *always* be behind FF for the simple reasons of sensor size, and Canon is banking on that. Keep your eye on Micro Four Thirds: Panasonic, Olympus, and Leica are taking this area seriously and judging by the success of the Oly EP-1 it's a hot area. In fact, it may be that the market goes smaller and larger and leaves APS-C hanging.
