What is your budget for this second camera?

My budget seems to grow ;-). When I started to look for the first camera my budget was $1000 and no more. Camera, 2 extra lenses, batteries, filters and a tripod and I am close to $1700. I am just not sure how much I will get into it. My last real camera was a Minolta SRT-101 a very long time ago . Since then its been point and shoots.

I would like to keep it less than $500 but the more I look thats getting hard. I am more concerned with size at this point and whether I want to mix brands. We are just learning the Panasonic G85 and not sure I want to learn Olympus at the same time. But if the price is right I will give it a try.

I went to my local camera shop and tried a few cameras. The Olympus E-PL6 seemed ok and I tried a new Panasonic GM but that was too small.

The search continues...
