Buy the best new Olympus you want to part with your cash for

I have a new Olympus M5 II. It's a dream to shoot photographs with.

It's also the best movie camera I've owned until I bought my new Tough TG5 Olympus, that has 4K.

But for $400 for the M5 II and $300 for the TG5 I have both.

You can't lose with Olympus.

They don't plan to make any new mirrorless lens mounts, to obsolete all your Olympus lenses.

If you'd like a cheap full frame camera, then Nikon or Canon would be the way to go, I suppose. At least Nikon and Canon don't change mounts much, except if you want a mirrorless camera, but why would you want those oddball mount mirrorless systems anyway?

Olympus invented the first real mirrorless camera system, and they still make MFT mount cameras to this day, ten years later.

Don't change  mounts in the middle of a stream, as we say in Humansville.
