I guess I went to m4/3 mostly for video. Somehow I got it in my head that the iq for stills was bad, and the camera sat there for 2-3 years, mostly, I don't do a lot of video.
Then I felt like I should use it for an event, and it worked out really well. The Silkypix software had a highlight controller that saved the day.
The shutter on the GH1 is really well damped or something, I was able to use a lower ss than expected. And I doubt it took me long to figure out that focusing an 85/1.4 Rokinon is easier on the EVF!!!
I use the m4/3 body with alts exclusively. I really like the articulating screen on the GH1, although I suppose I could get that with Canon. I still shoot both, and tend to shoot the m4/3 slower, with my favorite old alts, and the Canon faster, with af. They are a different experience, and I plan to keep both.
The files might not be as malleable, and high iso might not be as good, say over 800, but low iso (800 or less) in most conditions is maybe better, it seems. I haven't done big printing yet, but I don't see any reason to think I can't, or feel limited by iq, compared to Canon aps.
And high iso is probably substantially improved on some/all newer bodies.
