I switched from Nikon D800E and D750 to MFT about a year ago and I am delighted with the experience. My pictures may not be as technically perfect as with the D800E and Nikon 300mm f2.8 lens, but there are more of them and they are more interesting because they were taken in areas where I never could have taken the Nikon gear. My original reason for switching was the problem of getting my Nikon gear with the lenses I wanted with me into a carry-on for air travel. But even if that problem went away I would still never go back.

There aren't any super telephoto lenses for MFT cameras anyway.
What about these...I've seen some amazing images from these before.
M4/3:
Olympus 300mm f4, can use the emc-14 for more reach
Panasonic 100-400mm
If using the em1 (i or ii versions):
300mm f2.8
90-250mm f2.8
50-200mm f2.8-3.5
All of these work with the ec-14 or ec-20

What I don't like on the Olympus is the electronic view finder; it is very slow and the live one on the Nikon is better.
Are you using the high frame rate or normal? About 1/3 down it talks about the setting. It's for the em1, but I would assume it works for the em5ii

I'm very pleased with mine. If you get one I would suggest the first lens to buy is the 14-150 which give you a 35mm equivalent of 28- 300. That's my walkaround lens. I also have the 25, macro, 75-300 and a 9-18 (double #'s for 35mm). I'm old and not healthy so the light weight of it was a major selling point.

I am interested in Olympus om-d e-m1, but I read some reviews regarding view finder issues complained. And how much image quality should I trade off of Nikon D7200 level DSLR camera? Please share your experiences about Olympus mirror less camera.. Thanks in advance....
It looks like a number of people in this thread had an Olympus and didn't read the manual about the viewfinder settings - and then sold it! Reading the manual for the Olympus, or any camera as a matter of fact, is important. The camera is very sophisticated and the only way to know what features there are and how to access them is to read the manual. Back in 2012, I bought my E-M5 two days before going to Ireland and never got to touch it, or do anything with it, until we were on the plane going to Ireland. I read the entire manual on the flight, set up various settings, and familiarized myself with the controls. I never had a problem for the week and a half we were there. There were settings for the viewfinder that I played with until I was happy with the way the viewfinder worked. I know one could set it up to be very distracting - I know becaused I tested some. Other than that, I cannot say enough good things about the viewfinder. It actually makes it easier to shoot in the dark.
