How do people find micro four thirds for wildlife photography? (self.m43)

I've just taken up wildlife photography again, and my partner and I are planning out what body/lens ecosystem we'll take up.

I used four thirds (before micro four thirds was a thing) back in the day, before moving to Canon and ultimately drifting away from photography.

Now I'm back, still with some canon glass and an entry level canon body, but I'm tempted by micro four thirds, partly because of the extra punch from the 2x crop factor, and partly because I just love the innovation that I remember Olympus used to do, including the four thirds system itself.

So, is it worth turning to m43 before I sink more in to canon?

FWIW, Olympus is out of the game, having sold off their camera division, and as far as I know the company that bought it isn’t doing much in the way of innovation.

With the canon glass you have, assuming it’s higher quality stuff, you’re probably better off with a Canon. Get something with a higher megapixel count and that 2x punch from m4/3 won’t matter when you can crop in. Get something in the 30+ MP range and you’ll be in pretty good shape for cropping.
