... if you started a new thread and gave your opinion on the 24 or so different systems you used with your pluses and minuses. Alright. Maybe 24 is asking too much but you could do the last few you owned.

Thanks for the response Pete. I could probably do a Pros/Cons of my various systems, it would actually be pretty easy.

And then if you could compare and contrast those systems to the m4/3rds cameras you're familiar with, the thread could stay in this forum.  Look forward to it.

Good review but one thing I don't get. You had the E-M1 but weren't satisfied with it so you switched to a different system. Then your came back to m4/3rds with an E-M5, a great camera but with a lot less features than the E-M1 has, yet now you're satisfied (?). This doesn't seem to jive.

Oh I was satisfied with the E-M1, but the allure of FF got to me eventually, so I sold it all off for an A7 setup with some MF lenses. The A7's IQ was great (the Zeiss 100/2 MP is an amazing lens), but operation of the camera drove me absolutely mad and I eventually sold it all out of frustration for a D800. I lost some money selling the D800 kit, so I throttled down to the EM5.

Ahhh so that explains it.

Don't look now but Canon is rumored to announce a FF mirrorless camera next year!  Think of your cameras like wives.  You can't keep swapping them forever.

Stay Well,
Pete K.
