I just have to praise the micro43 system!....

My favourite and by far most used cameras are the M4/3 ones.

My old G6 is still used a lot and today it has been used with my Nissin i40 flash, both for backlight filling during a bright contrasty day and shooting in a large dark shed.I

I treasure my micro43 equipment and really enjoy using it the most.

I don't want to invest in another lens so when I want a longer reach I will use my Sony RX10 iv, unless the light is very low.

There is much to be said for a bridge camera for the price of a good zoom lens. I had thought of it myself but bought a Panasonic 100-300 instead, which is probably my least used lens, although useful at times. My most used lenses are the 10x zoom on both M4/3 and A7. The Sony lens alone feels as if it weighs more the the E-M10 and 14-140.

Two areas where I find the Sony better. Dynamic range and low light-high iso without flash. There’s the fabulous focus system as well of course. To offset those there is the weight and lens size difference and the loss of features like in-camera panoramic, live composite and in-camera raw editing, 4k photo modes and other features, depending on brand and model. If I wasn’t so much into photography and the equipment that makes it possible, and was less able to afford it, the Sony full frame would never have been bought. No regrets though, because each has its place and I love learning and using them all. Got enough learning to do now to last me until at least the next five years, probably longer.
