As a comparison (and I know it's not a fair comparison), my Nikon D750 with a Tamron 150-600 F4-6.3, regularly shoots up to ISO 6400 and even 12,800, and with a bit of NR looks absolutely brilliant and even more so if down sampled to the EM1 size.

It doesn't of course doesn't mean I'm going to abandon M4/3, its too good in too many other theatres for that, but I do wish they could improve the ISO performance a tad (easier said than done with the size of the sensor - I know).

Anyone else feel the same, or just me ?

Nope.  In fact I am quite happy with the high ISO performance of my Panasonic cameras.  I am also looking forward to upping the megapixel count.  The GX8 is only the first of a new wave of higher MP sensors we can expect to see in MFT land, and about time too is all I can say.

With each successive generation of cameras I have seen ISO performance improve too.  I am sure that will continue as we move forward.

There are also times when another system will meet the needs of the day better than MFT and you seem to be in that situitation.
