The GH3 is too big and bulky. I might as well just carry my D800 around.

Are you kidding? The D800 is a POUND (82%) heavier than the GH3 and a whole lot bigger. http://camerasize.com/compare/#290,381. The OMD is four OUNCEs lighter than the GH3...and once you bring along the flash, that gets shaved even further....

The EM-5 is not too big and not too small. When I first opened the box for the EM-5, I was shocked at how small it was without a lens. I also like the retro styling of the silver model. Several people have asked me if I was using a film camera.
