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

Thanks Jeff. A lot of times I thought to myself over the last years that I should just have stick with my E-M5 instead of go try everything else, spending loads of money in the process. In fact, I must confess I was not hapier with my a7r2 files either, so guess what's more important to me is the fun I have shooting as the results are not limited by none of the gear I've used until now.
