Though really, I'd rather have something like the xt-3 with the weatherproofing and more importantly with the ISO on a dial. I really like that design. I'm not about to buy one but if I were to magically have the funds to buy a second system, despite the fact that the Fuji wouldn't be the most logical choice as it's only a small step up in format size and I don't like that it doesn't have IBIS (OK, the one model does, but too big and too much for my style), I like the design so much that I'd get one of these before any FF camera. The fact is though that I'm pretty happy with m43 and I wouldn't want to be stuck with the larger size (of the lenses anyway) of the Fuji system as my only camera system. The way that I use my camera means that compactness and light weight mean a lot...

The x30 though looks like a great camera and at totally fair price...

When I had both systems I thought I would keep the Oly as my second system for travel. Then used the X-T20 and bought a few (23, 35 and 50/2) of those WR lenses.

Sadly that was the end of the Pen-F (but keep my eyes peeled on a good second hand one in black!!).

Now use the X-T3 and find that when I used ISO80 it had enormous detail in the images. Compared the 26Mpx to some of the HiRes shots I had taken and found the micro contrast in the T3 enough for my purpose (up to A3 prints in hi-gloss).

...but the Pen-F was also very good but not like the shot posted here:

A little bit more interesting it gets when light is not around much ...

But for most things photography MFT should be plenty. My rather personal problem with Oly was the colour thing. Can't get my head around it, but that topic I have discussed here a few times so this one has been put to rest.
