Mahadragon, if somebody uses FF cameras, I'd think he's not only doing JPGs. In any case, why haven't you asked before guessing about use of RAW or RAW converters? And even if doh had an old, cheap or whatever program (another thing you simply can't know without asking), this does mean there's already an advantage which will remain if someone uses state of the art RAW-conversion.
Which of course some of the state of the art converters can't perform: If a manufacturer has to rely on software to correct distorison and vignetting, the user need to rely on the RAW-converter of the manufacturer or hope that somebody can deliver lens profiles.
To me it's really simple: In terms of weight and smallness FF can't compete with µ4/3. In terms of IQ the small cameras might be good enough (which doesn't mean "weak") but if their sensors were equal or close to FF, the FF manufacturers would have done something wrong.
