It is now my go to camera and I will probably sell my m43 equipment. The files from this camera are just better.

You may want to do some testing and research before you abandon m4/3. You will have a VERY difficult time finding Canon lenses with image quality equivalent to your 12-60mm f/2.8-4, 12-35mm f/2.8, and 35-100mm f/2.8. The EF-M 15-45mm is not even close and better alternatives are mostly non-existent.

true for lightweight fast zooms sadly....

It's kind of a bizarre problem.  Canon has created a rule for itself that all EF-M lenses have to be exactly 2.4" in diameter.  I can only speculate on why.  Maybe they want to make a tube that you can put all of them in.

If you don't like primes and don't want to adapt, an M is strictly a casual travel rig with only wide angle potential.

If you like primes, they have some great ones along with a great wide angle zoom.

If you don't mind adapting, you have access to the biggest lens catalogue in the industry.

The more I think about it, the more I think I could live with it.   I looked on B&H and I could trade my giant FF system even for every M thing I could want.  In the alternative, if I'm feeling prosperous, I could keep only my very best FF lenses for those times when I want the best and get an M system for travel and social photography.
