This is basically the path I took. I would take a MKIIn or 7D and a 100-400 plus a shorter lens or 2 when I wanted shots. It got to the point that I would not take the camera because of size. Decided to play with mirrorless and after trying some other stuff I settled on Oly.

I picked up a e-m10 to start along with the "kit" 40-150 and 14-42 and could not be happier. I have since picked up more Oly gear (e-m1 and some other lenses) and find that this is now my go to system, even for sports and wildlife. The reach, versatility, and IQ can't be beat for the size and weight.

Hi

What made you also pick up an Oly E-M1 and what other lenses did you get?

Thanks Gelvbieh.

The 10 does an OK job for moving subjects but I was curious to see if the e-m1 with the PDAF could replace the 7d for most of the sports stuff I shoot.  So far it has done a great job.  The 10 will work but it is not perfect, I got some really good shots of my wife last year at her track nationals using just the 10 and 40-150 f4-5.6

I have a few primes (7.5mm, 25, and 45) as well as a few zooms (14-42 ez, 40-150, 100-300, and 9-18).  All that will fit into a tenba mini messenger alnog with a rx100.
