"Just" an E-M5 and your existing lenses would up your game, but whether that's just the next step in a journey or an end in itself depends a lot on your goals.
My little soccer player is now 13 and playing on a full-size pitch against girls three times faster than when she was a U8. My kit has had to evolve along with her competition level and the field dimensions. To be honest, I'd have a LOT less invested had she picked tennis or piano or something.
Another pathway: E-M1 and 4/3 50-200. During my E-system days I got the zoom as soon as I figured out the kit 40-150 wasn't cutting it and wow, what an improvement. The Mk1 can be had for less than half the 40-150 Pro. It and a refurb E-M1 could be had for...$12-1300?

Sorry Rick, but how can you recommend the 50-200 MKI for action. As I see it, it's focusing far to slowly for good keeper raztes. The SWD version will deliver far more pleasing results.
Works for me and I'm trying to accommodate the OP's budget. Yes, SWD is better but not necessary. For a couple hundred more then yes, an SWD is a good choice but optically they're basically the same.
Cheers,
Rick

We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
