Switch to micro 4/3 or similar...

... but try out the system before you sell your other Canon gear - any of it - to make sure you can live with the compromise.

Why go with micro 4/3 and walk away from 35mm system equivalents?

Because your goal is to dramatically lighten your equipment load but still be able to cover airshows and wildlife. Selling your 35mm system 100-400mm lens and replacing it with a 70-300 or 70-200 will not in any way accomplish your goals. The overall equipment load will be about the same and the gear will be less capable (shorter reach).

"My goal is to be able to travel anywhere in the world, for an extended duration (2 weeks+) with just a carry on." "I'll be shooting a lot of wildlife and the occasional airshow. Even mix of video/photos."
