You did not mention any thing about video, and it may unimportant to you. I don't do much video even though I have cameras that are quite good at it. Nevertheless I came across a side by side comparison of the OM-D vs a Nikon D800. They have the two cameras on a fixture to be able operate and pan them at the same time while taking video. What is important in this demonstration, though, is the OM-D IBIS. It has been described as near Steadycam. Watch the video and look for that...it is pretty amazing when compared to the D800 (I am not sure what lens was on the Nikon).
