Re: rethinking Micro Four Thirds in 2016

I see most people are trying to talk you out of making any real changes; I won't though I do think you should stick partly with m43.

Here's what i think you should do: first off keep the E-PM2 and some of your compact m43 lenses for your portable kit. At some point you might think about upgrading the E-PM2 to a new Olympus body or to the Panasonic GM series, but you can safely put that off for the time being.

If you have m43 logic suggests your second system should be full frame. I mean the sensor's performance isn't that much better at APS-C than at quarter-frame (m43). So you need to settle on a full frame camera: either buy the SONY A7 with a couple of lenses of your choice (which is what you seem to want to do) or keep the Nikon D600, which seems to be a highly rated full frame DSLR- that can't be bad. (Not sure why you are shooting with an E-M1 if you have this camera already).

OR

If you wanted to do something really radical, dump the whole lot and go for a single system: the Fuji X-T2 + lenses. Short of this solution I don't see why you should dump your m43 investment.
