Re: Thinking of Moving from APSC to M43

I'm fully content with an EM5 - this was the first georgeous speudo DSLR in the field.

But still: consider you will (most probably) switch to contrast AF which is definitively slower for moving objects and generates a quite a lot of out of focus (up to that most ignore tracking and use single focus to shoot).

On the other side I am very happy about the thought gimmick: of being able to shoot using the touch display - tapping the phase while following the running child with the camera.

Perhaps you should try your target camera and decide thereafter. It's also handling and whether the controls are where you can live with them.

Basic decisions seem to be: mirror or not - followed by sensor size (do you shoot in low light?). And then: handling and useability.
