I'm about to go all-in on Micro 4/3 due to switching to this mount on my multicopters. Because of this I'm going to get out of Canon EOS cameras and lenses.
I've been playing with a GH4 and have been very impressed by the EVF and was wondering if there were any other Micro 4/3 bodies with similar EVFs. Yes, I know that most cameras have the same number of pixels on the EVF as the GH4 but with my brief play in a shop I couldn't find any that were as big when held up to the eye.

Any suggestions? This is mainly for stills so I'm not sure that the GH4 is what I really need due to its heavy video focus.

I've yet to try an Oly OM-D E-M5 Mk2 which has been recommended to me as I couldn't find one to test out in the shops.
 
I ended up with the GH4. Lovely camera and the EVF is uttely fantastic. I never thought an EVF could compare to a proper pentaprism but wow, it's sure close. Manual focus is awesome with the zoomed in section of the EVF to assist. Feels like focussing with an old Canon FD.

I discounted the Olympus cameras in the end due to the utterly mental menus. I'm sure I would have got used to them but they just didn't feel right. The GH4 feels absolutely right in the hand.

Lenses I've bagged are:

Olympus 12mm f/2
Olympus 14-42mm EZ f/3.5-5.6 pancake zoom
Panasonic 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6
