I'm wondering what the point of the survey is, what is it you are looking to find out and why?

the point of the survey is to show that there are more enthusiasts using EM1 than Pro photographers.

You do realize that your poll isn't going to give you any real information, right?

It'll tell you what people in this subforum, who can be bothered to answer your poll, do with their cameras. And that's it.

There is no way to know if this subforum is representative of all high-end M43 users.

There is no way to know if the E-M1 ii will genuinely appeal to more pros.

And it doesn't really matter, because there is no contagious magic here. A camera does not become "less professional" because it's used by amateurs.

Saying that Olympus now "doenst care" about the hobbyist is ridiculous in my eyes.

Surprise! No one has said anything of the sort.

Just because one specific camera is oriented at the pro market, doesn't mean they have abandoned the enthusiast market. That's nonsense.

And as I said elsewhere: EVERY camera maker does this. Most Nikon and Canon DSLRs are sold to enthusiasts, not pros. Almost every Leica is sold to affluent enthusiasts, not pros. Pros buy Fuji and Pentax medium format cameras, while enthusiasts buy their APS cameras.

I suggest you just learn to deal with the fact that the E-M1 Mk ii is a little more expensive than you expected and/or are willing to pay. Life is much easier when your emotional state does not depend on the vagaries of camera manufacturers.
