I think the E-M10 mark II with the new firmware presents the best bang for the buck nowadays. I see it going for 900 Euro's at some grey import sites. But even at 1100 Euro it seems a bargain when comparing it to the new EM-5 and the Pana G90. Only the G9 is a great competitor,.

I do have the E-M10 II, with the 14-42 and 40-150 kit lenses.

Compared to my SH-series pocket zooms, my combination does give me more detail, and because of the faster refresh-rate of the EVF as well as the LCD, I do get more Gannets In Flight per visit of the Muriwai Beach Gannet Colony.

The disadvantage of my E-M10 II and existing lenses is - they are strictly fair-weather items, more so than my SH-series pocket zooms.

So I am hankering after the E-M5 III with the 14-150 lens. Both are water-resistant - and I would not have to change lenses in the rain.

I have a 33x23 inch print of this one on my wall:

Recommendation: Use Shutter Priority of 1/1500 second or higher, but NO digital zoom.
