First thing first, if you are using the 4:3 format in your present Panasonic body you are using the full format. That is exactly what I do with my Olympus bodies.
The new Panasonic camera brings a new lens mount and new lenses. Perhaps they have an adapter to use old M43 lenses with the new body but if they do not and it is very possible they do not, then you are going to be left with your present lenses and forced to buy the new ones that will only fit this camera.
I am sure the new Panasonic is going to be a terrific tool....but you will have to start all over again.

I've had a couple of Panasonic cameras in the past few years. Probably not my favorite brand BUT they do have some unique features.
Introducing some automatic adapters for Canon and Nikon lenses would go a long way to convincing photographers to jump ship!
