I think, thanks to the AMAZING image stabilization that can be used during video (it literally looks like I'm using a steadicam just walking around hand holding the camera, non-moving shots really benefit from it also) the OM-D E-M5 is the best choice. Right now it doesn't have very many video options (30fps only, I'm sure that will change with an upcoming firmware update though because of how much of the world runs on 50hz electricity and how bad that looks filmed at 30p, there are A LOT of people complaining). But unless you are using tripods, dolleys and a steadicam, the extremely stable footage makes it my top choice. Just to illustrate how amazing the 5-axis stabilization really is, I've taken quite a few handheld, sharp, 1/4 and 1/2 second photos. The only thing I would like to see in a firmware update or a hack, other than more fps options would be the ability to use image stabilization with ANY lens during video, not just Micro 4/3 and 4/3 lenses (it works with any lens for taking photos, even with live view on so I don't see why it couldn't work during video).
