I have done a very bold thing and finally gone for just one system. It's something I have wanted to do for a long time and I have finally sold the last of my Fuji gear. I am now M4/3 only and will try to stick with it as long as I can. IQ from fuji, Sony, Canon etc are better but the M43 system really suits me. I have always had M4/3 and love the size, weight and reliability of panasonic especially. I'm not saying I would not have another DSLR at some time but I would like a really serious body in M4/3 so am looking at either the Panasonic GH4 or the Olympus E-M1.
I already have a GF1, GX1 and GX7. The GF1 and GX1 are great fun to use while buzzing around with family and friends plus great for street. The GX7 is great for street and more serious stuff but it is not a comfy camera to hold so don't use it all that much...as nice as it is. I also have a nice set of lenses so have no need to get more at this point except for the new 15mm f1.7 Leica that I will hopefully be able to get from work. So I'm looking at the GH4 or E-M1 to satisfy my need for a really serious bit of kit. I have absolutely no need for video so looking at these for stills only. The good thing about the E-M1 is the 5 axis IS. I don't think it would make much difference as I would probably have either the 15, 20 or 12-35mm lenses on. Both EVF's on these cameras are superb so it's just down to ergonomics and IQ. They both feel great in the hand. The GH4 fits like a glove, it's perfect!!! With the GH4 you get a free grip and battery and E-m1 you get a free grip.
I am leaning towards the GH4 as I just love Panasonic gear and have had problems with 3 Oly cameras in the past but the E-M1 looks a superb camera.
Over to you guys for your opinion.
