Hi Dillon

I don't think you have much to worry about in that regard. As long as you use fast glass at wide apertures then you will definitely see bokeh. There is a lot of scaremongering towards m/43 systems that makes people very weary about investing in the system. Olympus and Voigtlander have some fantastic lenses that will give nicely rendered out of focus areas, it very much depends on what you want to achieve. The voigtlander 25mm 0.95 & 42.5mm 0.95 have a very special glow to their out of focus areas, it's very classic, whereas the olympus lenses are more modern and sharper but you have the added bonus of autofocus with them.

APSC does give good out of focus rendering say on a 50mm 1.8 which has the effect of an 80mm, but the new lenses for the M43 systems bridge that gap in my opinion and the pros of the smaller system body and lenses far out way the cons.
