Like?

Why not have both? These cameras are complementary. They focus on different areas.

I use GH2s and OM-Ds; I'll probably pick up a GH3 when I find one. I use the GH2s for video-specific projects and the OM-Ds when stills are prioritized. Usually carry one of each. Because of this I can use lenses from all manufacturers, putting them on the body that takes best advantage of each one.
