But it would need to be proven in real world tests, which won't happen, because there's no DSLR with 4/3 CCD. Also DSLRs proven to be as good, or even better then their fixed-lens counterparts (like Oly E-10/E-20), despite having small sensors, and lenses with image circle for 35 mm. Of course many depends on electronics in camera. In real world it could happen that 4/3 CCDs used in such a theoretical DSLR would be a good combo for standard 35 mm lenses as long as it would have no more than xx Mpixels... But these are pure speculations, I suspect, that nobody will produce 35 mm based DSLR with 4/3 CCD anyway :-)
