Hi,

I had the same dilemma about a year ago. I shoot weddings & Dance concerts. I have been a loyal Oly user since the E300 and went through the whole line up - E300, E330, E30 E3, E5, EM5 & EM1.

The Oly cameras didn't giving me the AF speed or image quality at Hi ISO i require for clients so sold most of the gear and picked up a Nikon D610 and D7100 -and have not regretted the decision.

As far as weight goes, i shot the D7100 with a 70 200 2.8 and D610 with 24 70 2.8 on a spider belt and have no issues shooting a 12 hour day.

But having said all that my wife second shoots with a EM1, and except for low light shots, the images are usually on par with the Nikon's.

Go try a DSLR setup and see which suits, Full frame isnt the holy grail that everyone claims either, i shoot mostly with the D7100 which isnt much larger than a EM1 and image quality and AF speed is awesome. The full frame is only used for the couples portraits and really low light stuff.

And my travel camera is still the EM5
