Why is the EM5 so much more popular than the GH3?

Sure, you're entitled to your own opinion. It's when you become judgmental of those whose ethics and opinions differ from yours that you start to come across as provincial, especially if you're unable to build an ironclad case for why your ethics are objectively better than those of the people you're judging.

Perhaps you skimmed my reply, but you completely skirted the issue of taking candid photos in private settings where I have been invited, and where I am known by the subjects of my photographs. While I think there are enough people who are made uncomfortable by the idea of stealthy street photography, I sincerely doubt that there are many who'd have any ethical qualms with a photographer who takes candid photos of people he knows (and who know him) with their implicit permission.

So, your dismissive and judgmental attitude is silly on two fronts. First, because you think your ethics are better than the ethics of those who are fine with stealth street photography, and, second, because you completely ignore the much less ethically questionable practice of taking candid photos of people one knows, with those peoples' implicit permission.
