Why do so many videos and even online camera stores call the 4/3 type sensor "Micro Four Thirds" when Micro Four Thirds is a mirrorless camera mount format? (sopuli.xyz)

I get that they sound similar but they absolutely are not the same thing and its use implies that there are only mirrorless cameras.

I don’t see how it would be confusing when not all mirrorless cameras with 4/3 sensors are even compatible with mft

That's my point. If you see someone saying "micro four thirds" what they really mean "micro four thirds lens mount on a four thirds sensor"

No one is talking about four thirds lens mount systems anymore, because it's a deprecated format
