I should have mentioned that NO, I nor my hands miss the weight and width of the Nikon gear. The trade off is happier hands ! Another added bonus is all the wonderful M4/3 folks I have met .
Nikon was all I ever knew . I don't dislike the Olympus gear. Just need to adjust to what I can do with it .

Have to admit it's a drag. Just came back from a 10-mile foray into Yosemite areas ... carrying 3 cameras and 7 lenses ... now I have to undergo a course in physical therapy ... but I'll be back

Thanks John. I must admit I do miss my Nikon gear for several reasons, dynamic range , auto focus , and more pixels heading the list. In addition, the Nikon 200mm macro is magic and I miss it.
I might need to find another way to process the Olympus shots, as my processing really has not changed. I find the colors on Olympus having more contrast/saturation. My attempt to sometimes tone that down might be part of the issue.
Shooting with Olympus is a whole new and different ball game, and I haven't quite figured it all out . I'm not one with the camera yet. .
Will have to play with it more and see.
On a positive side, I love the Olympus 60mm macro lens and a couple of the other lens and the ability to do focus peaking . It is a wonderful feature especially for my water drop shots and still subjects.

Olympus will grow on you if you give it time - a lot of time. I am an early adopter of the OM-D system and I am still not totally familiar with it - I am continually learning something new. But packing and traveling with a compact system is a real joy.

I am amazed at how clean the files are, even at ISO 1600 ... when correctly exposed. I remember when I got the very first E-M5 and I convinced myself that the noise level is only as bad as the Canon 7D that I had ... and that was good enough for me. Looking back, the 7D and E-M5 both sucked in terms of noise! The E-M1.2 today is better than the Canon 5D that was my main camera before I switched to Olympus.
