I use my iPhone for some easy panoramas. And may use it more with apps. which put together quick travel blogs integrating the photos and videos you take with it.

But otherwise, I'm inclined to spend the money and deal with the weight to use the best gear I can afford.
After lugging APS-C Nikon DSLRs across Asia for several years I changed to m43 last year and could not be happier. Frankly I think most people would never be able to tell the difference between m43 or APS-C or even FF in many cases. I don't feel like m43 has limited me in any way. And the ability to carry my entire kit (body+ 4 or 5 lenses) in a tiny little backpack is a revelation. I printed a few of my OM-D images at large-ish size (12x18") and they look fantastic. I had a book made of my images from last years trip by Blurb which also looks great.

I think the real limitation is the photographer's skill, not the equipment.
