Thank you everyone for all the info. Very useful.

At this point in the life cycle of 4/3, what your feeling on the 20mp sensors vs 16mp? If focus should be on the 20mp, that basically means GX8/9, G9 which is getting a bit large for a compact kit, or OM 1 iii, which honestly is more than I want to spend on 4/3.

I’d be interested in what you’re used to shooting with to avoid going off tangent.

I am mainly a M4/3 shooter these days. EM1.2 for primary body and a GX9 as backup or casual shooting of non critical work, though to be frank, it’s images are very very close to the EM1.2. Not much at all between them until you take handling, EVF, customisation and so on, into account. The EM1.2 is my most enjoyable setup ever when matched with Olympus’s Pro lenses and the PL100-400. But then you’re getting into large lenses.

What don’t you like about the A6500 lens choices? As a long term Sony user who got frustrated with their APS-C lens line up, I must say the A6300 is nice with their 18-135 (maximum flexibility) or a couple Sigma primes (19, 30, 60) which I have only recently bought for the heck of it. Those three lenses with the A6500 IBIS would make a decent setup. But for outstanding IBIS, the EM1.2 is a marvel and in a compact body, the GX9 is close too.

More info please so responses can be targeted better.
