In terms of format differences:

  1. M43 is not going to give you deep shadow recovery like you are used to. So, you can't be really sloppy about exposure settings, especially in darker situations. Keep your ISO as low as you can if optimal sharpness and detail are the goal. Also, highlights recover better than shadows with that sensor, from my own experience, so bear that in mind.

In terms of usage:

  1. There are a lot functions of the camera that will be a bit different than you are used to (touch screen, constant live view, for instance). These are actually wonderful, and will spoil you, once you get accustomed to them. They make the photographic experience easy and very spontaneous

Good to know about how the sensor works.

And I am excited by some of the new functions like the touch screen, wifi, constant live view that i'll get to work with.

Probably won't be used to having to carry multiple batteries, but those are small. Charging multiple batteries might be an issue when traveling though 

cheers
