Hello all,
My Nikon D300 was recently stolen. (Not the Issue)
Thanks to a handsome payout from the insurance company I've received a good chunk of cash in order to replace the body and a few lenses. I currently have an EM5 with a few lenses, I absolutely adore it! Great camera, provides the absolute freedom I love for street and candid shots. However I'm looking to get more into Wedding photography and I've wanted a Full Frame camera for the job.

Ok, this sentence kind of says it all...If you want a FF camera for your wedding photography, then, really, that is what you should get. Yes, you can use an EM1 for it, but what FF cameras can do is very complementary to what M43 cameras can do, and you might do best with both types for your purposes.

Suggestion: RENT a D610 and a couple of lenses, and try it out. You will get a very good idea very quickly if it will be the best choice for your purposes, or whether M43 will do what you need.

Very sound advice, jalywol.
Sometimes a different tool is needed and a good way to find out is to rent the equippement first

Allthough I have seldom need for bigger than m43 (sensor wise) I do occasionally rent gear for assignments that I feel could be done easier with the right setup for that job.
