I used to shoot weddings/church events with FF

Now I shoot mainly with MFT

The system's mature and good enough for weddings

And It won't kill my neck /shoulders after a long shooting day

As to DOF it's easier to isolate the subject with FF and bright lenses but you can still do it with MFT brighter primes

The DOF of MFT works to its advantage on group shots though

ISO is slightly better with FF but if you can live with ISO 6400, MFT is good enough; or use fill in flash

Good enough at 6400? There is no m4/3 body that's good enough at 6400. 800 maybe.

Not true. It's true the larger sensors' lenses have larger apertures per any given F stop, and this simply means they are gathering more light, but to say any system's ISO performance is "not good enough" would suggest everybody has the same standards and skill. With careful technique and some PP you can still get nice looking files even at ISO 6400.

No you will not want to crop as much or that noise will show, but if you compose carefully you won't have to. Thanks to the 2x crop of MFT, reach is rarely an issue. Whether they are good enough for a wedding client remains to be seen, but i know people who wouldn't be happy with ISO 6400 on a D800 either.

I agree 6400 out of a D800 isn't that great either.  It's just usable out if a D4.
