I am looking to switching to Micro4/3, I currently have an entry level Dslr and instead of investing into higher end ones, I prefer the lighter weight of the micro4/3.

looking at the em1 markii with either the 12-100 f4 or the 12-40 f2.8

First misunderstanding. Micro 4/3 does not automatically mean smaller and lighter. Evidence number one: http://j.mp/2jOAflT

Not a really true comparison as the Nikon while it's speed is approximately that of the Olympus, it's zoom range is shorter. And the Canon has approximately the same zoom range but it is slower lens (3.5-5.6 vs 4.0)

Note the parts in bold. I just compared to something that OP is likely to be familiar with.
