Good choice. I prefer bodies with a nice grip and buttons that have enough space to work. Despite what people think about the camera size matching sensor size. I always felt that camera size should match hand size to have a comfortable hold. Plus, bigger lenses really feel better with bigger bodies

There's actually an argument to be made that larger sensor bodies are too small, just look at the overheating issues in the top tier bunch. Bigger sensor, higher rez video which is a big selling point in ML, too much heat and too little space. I think MFT's bigger bodies are at just the perfect ratio of sensor to body size.

Heat dissipation is indeed A factor to consider when using high res video. Grip size is a factor when planning to use big glass. I shoot stills so the former is not a concern. So as always, it comes down to picking the right tool for the job - plus the right combo that makes the job fun. m43 is the fun system for me, mostly for its extreme versatility to do the things I love.
