 I made the transition last year ,selling all my canon gear and getting a Panasonic g80 plus a Leica 100-400 lens . its a good combo I still have it .. but although b.i.f can be got there was something lacking (hard to define ) I then got back into a DSLR mode with the acquisition of bodies and lenses .. 

  however my recent heart problems have made things a shade uncomfortable for me and am looking at going back to mirrorless MFT  .. a lot of contacts are raving about the Olympus omd1-mkii which has had a recent firmware upgrade which when coupled with the leica 100-400 makes a very good ,fast all round combo .. it may well be the path I take again shortly . I have to carefully weigh up any gains against costs so it may or may not happen .

  one advantage of mirrorless especially olympus and panasonic that a lot of people don't mention is that with the right adaptors old legacy glass has a new lease of life .. which makes it very attractive . giving for the sake of argument a 200mm m42 lens into a manual focus 200mm with 4 way IBIS . focus peaking also helps on these lens/body combos . so for now that's the story all I can add is watch this space
