Thanks again to all for very good descriptions. Mind asking you if my move from the current system I have (EM-10, Panasonic 14-140 f3.5) to Nikon D5500 is right or not?

Only you can decide if it's right or not. From where I stand, that doesn't strike me like a particularly great upgrade. Or an upgrade at all, frankly.

If you switch to DX 18-200 zooms to get the same level of convenience as your current kit, you will not even gain anything in image quality. On 24 mpx DX sensor, DXO rates such super-zooms at 6-7 P-Mpix, which is pretty much the same as your E-M10 with 14-140 (rated at 6 P-Mpix).

I just don't see you gaining anything with this switch. But it's your choice, you probably have your reasons.
