comment How do Micro 4/3s cameras compare with DSLR cameras?
Hmmm... It seems that I was extrapolating from my Pentax K in Nikon EF and Canon EOS mounts adapters knowledge, where the extra flange distance difference comes from the lens itself, not the camera body. And of course, if the lens body is the same length, the extra distance needed can be added with the adapter. You were right :-)

comment How do Micro 4/3s cameras compare with DSLR cameras?
I think the scenario is exactly the opposite, you can use Micro 4:3 lenses in other mounts with an adapter (silly thing because the greater crop factor anyway), but not the other way around. That's precisely because they are closer to the sensor, and while it's quite easy to put them further away (with an extension tube), you cannot bring them closer (OK, maybe sawing the shell XD)? Of course you can still mount a lens designed for a more distant focusing plane, but it is very inconvenient to loose the ability to focus at infinity.

Smaller compared to what? the Micro 4:3 is actually the same size than a regular 4:3 (Panasonic and Olympus DSLR's), despite it's "micro" prefix. What is smaller is the distance from the focusing part of the lens to the sensor.

comment Is there any noise difference between averaged and long exposure photos?
By the way, it's perfectly reasonable that less images (or a single image) yield to a sharper result, because even if the pictures are taken with a tripod and a remote control, it's very difficult that they are perfectly aligned (and also the light source might have changed because the temperature of the bulb raising over a longer period of time [including the lapse between shots], for example).
