I think that just reinforces what I and others have been saying, that m4/3 holds up more than just 'pretty well' when it comes to FF and especially APS-C cameras. It also supports what I've been saying about EVFs, OVFs really are beginning to look very outdated. And I'll take my E-M1 and lenses anywhere the author is prepared to take his 1DX.
Ozray I admire your admiration for Olympus brand, but this is about GH4 hey! No harm intended mate! :smile:
BTW, I'm eager to receive my GH4. I bought the gx7 because it got so much thing that I want in a camera that the GH3 didn't had. Now GH4 will be my first and gx7 the backup.

The build quality of the EM-1 and GH3 are certainly very good, and they'll withstand reasonably bad weather conditions. But I have to assume you've not actually used a Canon 1D or Nikon Dx series body. The m43 bodies are almost playthings by comparison. You could just about drive nails with the CaNikon pro series bodies and still use them to take pictures. They are built to a whole different level of construction than the Oly and Panasonic bodies.
That's not to imply the m43 bodies can't be used in adverse conditions, but were I going into war, for example, or covering a hurricane, I'd trust the CaNikon bodies much further. I just wouldn't want to carry them.

I used my 25mm f1.4 next so some chaps with FF gear at a fashion show, I definitely kept up with them

I support the awesomeness of m4/3 as I made the switch myself but this is a pretty misleading statement.
No m4/3 camera can match up against the 1dx . D4s level of cameras or even the 5d3 for general fashion week use. Yeah when conditions are perfect you can get some good shots but then almost any camera can get good shots like that.
Back on topic. It's cool to compare the GH4 to the 1dx but you wouldn't use them for the same type of jobs. It'd be better to compare the Gh4 to the 5d3
