Other than reliable, fast AF tracking and clean high ISO performance, E-M5 can do a lot for you.

Also, the E-M5 takes forever (compared to a DSLR) to wake up from sleep mode or to be ready to take a photo when you turn it on. 2-3 seconds. If you need to shoot quickly you will lose shots compared to any DSLR (not just a D4). Reviews almost never mention this although dpreview and others always made a big deal about it a decade ago with cameras and that is why DSLRs got so fast, but they don't talk much about it with mirrorless. It is an area that needs a huge improvement.

i don't have an Olympus EM5 but all my MFT cameras "wake-up" virtually instantly with the half press of the shutter button.  By the time I bring any up to eye or shooting position if no EVF, it is ready to go.
