Well, image quality was a priority but I soon learnt that "image quality discernible by the untrained naked eye" is a totally different beast to what you or I may woryy about.
It suddenly dawned on me that all that equipment wasn't necessary and that with a bit of patience, decent images could be obtained without a DSLR.
Even when blowing up to both A4 and A3 level, I honestly don't see the need to lug around all the gear any more.
And I was perfectly happy cashing in.
But my question still remains, with all this talk of sensors and megapixels, surely the fact still remains that the larger the maximum aperture of a lens, be it with a Compact sensor or a slightly larger 4/3 sensor, the maximum aperture at a set focal length is still going to determine how much light you have to play with and therefore the quality of the image given the skill of the photographer.
Or do Compacts and 4/3s have an effective way of increasing the luminosity without increasing noise?
