You're not shooting video... It adds up quickly. My camera (Panasonic GH4) spits out video at 100Mbps which is a gigabyte every 82 seconds. Your 16GB card only fits 21 minutes of video.

512 is still excessive right now (and the price!), but bitrates aren't exactly decreasing.

The GP specifically mentioned 1000 photos, though. I didn't say it's impossible to fill a card, I said that 1000 photos aren't that big.

Would you recommend the GH4 over the Canon 5D Mark III?

It depends on your needs, but the GH4 is quite a bit cheaper and has more advanced video functionality. I already had a nice collection of micro four thirds lenses which made it an easy call.
