Hard to comment on this one.
What exactly was the problem with the E-M1 ? Dynamic range ?
I have a hard time to believe that resolution alone is really an issue on MFT (except induced by the hard mirror slap on the E-M1).
In general I would strongly recommend to go for a comparatively low resolution option. The EOS 5Ds ® is unforgiving (on pixel level) as far as tiny focus errors are concerned. Low resolution sensors can also be pushed to high ISOs thus high shutter speed. High shutter speed = better sharpness for birds in motion. Well, the regular forum readers know that I am less than thrilled by the high MP madness out there.
I suspect that you don't want to read EOS 1Dx II or D5 now ...
FWIW, I will review the Fuji 100-400mm during the next 2 weeks although I doubt that I will do action photography.
The latest firmware on the X-T1 pushed the AF speed quite a bit. Whether it's up to your desired standards is something that I will not dare to comment on though.
