Since I left the DSLR world back in 2013, exchanging my Canon 5D MkII and lenses for a Oly E-M5, I've been moving between different systems. I had a E-P5, a Fuji X-E1, a Sony A7II (x2), Fuji X100T (x2), Sony A7RII, Fuji X-T1, X-E2S, X-T2, X-Pro2, Pana GX80 and finally a E-M5II and a X-T20. This was until I picked one E-M1 II. I've since then sold almost everything I still had from Fuji and been returning to m43 where I'm hopping to stay for some time.

Thanks for the post, and great photos.

It's funny - the forums tend to sneer at people that change systems frequently, but now that I'm considering what to replace my E-M5 with (purchased around the same time you did), I have a different perspective.

The camera industry is in a state of fast, seismic change right now - therefore a "sampling" approach is perfectly rational if you have the finances to do so.  Many of those cameras you listed (Sony A7 series, Fuji X-T series, latest m43 from Oly & Panny) are very intriguing, and the best way to see what works for you is to use them.

Glad you found your "perfect" gear (at least for now).

Cheers,

Jeff
