From a 'Heavy Nikon Artillery' user, I think the micro 4/3 did very well indeed. I am due to go Spitsbergen next year, and I am seriously considering taking a micro 4/3 outfit for long telephoto use (the Panasonic 100-300, effectively a 200-600), leaving the Nikon D700 for the wide to short tele use. The biggest two drawbacks with the micro 4/3 to me is the Electronic Viewfinder and its low light capabilities (a couple of stops less than the Nikon D700) - but neither should be much of a disadvantage in polar regions. The only other point is weather sealing, but the promised 'pro' body from Panasonic should take care of that. Lets see.
