I think your very test premise and post sort of illustrate why its a silly and meaningless test to do.
Yes, we know that Gh2, 5D mkII etc are fantastic for video and if your serious about doing video work, they are probably the way to go, or a 4k system, FS100 etc. Basically lots of options out there is the point
We also know that the OM-D aka EM-5 (why does it have 2 names?) isn't the best option around. As such, no one is going to go buy the EM-5 if they are serious about video production, and the only reason anyone is going to do proper video on a fluid head, with full production is if they are serious.
Its basically saying we know there are already good professional tools we should but, but lets try to use this tool that we already know isn't quite up to the task and see just how much worse it does. What would be the point ?
If you want a fantastic little alternative camera system for taking on holidays and anytime you don't want to lug the DSLR rig around, and/or may occasionally shot some video clips of your child's birthday, trip to the beach etc, the EM-5 is fantastic. It will make you very happy.
If your hoping to start doing a video production business and need a good B camera option, its not going to be anyone's first choice. Nothing wrong with the camera, but its simply not designed to be a serious video tool.

Yeah, I know what you're saying, of course the OMD nor NEX is the best professional tool...
BUT, a direct competitor to the OMD is the NEX series.. as they are similar in price and aesthetics/size (although diff sensor size), and both unhackable. So, imo, it would be a great comparison.
I wasn't asking and never asked for an OMD vs. 5d2/3, GH2, other HDSLRs or 4K cameras, ol..since we all already know that would be pointless, I agree...
..but an OMD vs NEX, would I think really be a good video comparison. Afterall, just look at the vimeo clips I posted...I find it hard to believe that the Nex really is that much better. I have a 5n at the moment (also used to have 5d2, 60d), but no OMD, yet... but honestly, the OMD clips I've seen so far seem very close, if not good as, as the Nex videos and other HDSLR videos I've used and seen clips of.
I hear ya on the Nex being better than the OMD's video; since it makes sense and is plausible, as it has a much higher bitrate and bigger sensor.... but I wont believe anything fully/100%, til after I actually see it, side by side.
Compression and processing is more important than bitrate imo. ex: 5n has a low bitrate but better video than many HDSLRs; due to it's newer compression/processing. OMD... we don't know yet...but obviously, it is very new and will probably have newer, more advanced and better compression/processing algorithms than older hdslrs.
