Staying on Brand ???

Are you brand loyal or a potential switcher?

I am somewhere in the middle --- mostly M4/3, mostly Olympus, but also open to exploring other possibilities.

Here's where I am with other systems:

Nikon: I had a Nikon d90 before I went down the m4/3 path in 2014. Nice camera, but too big for travel. A few years ago, I started pushing the limits of m4/3 for some nighttime street shooting. My options were ~$1200 for an f/1.2 Olympus prime -- a one stop improvement -- or ~$1500 Nikon d750 -- a two stop improvement. I went for the Nikon. No doubt that the Nikon is terrific for moving subjects at night, and I am glad that I have it for certain situations. Hearing all sorts of wonderful things about the buttery, malleable RAW files on the Nikon Z series, I am sometimes tempted by the Nikon Z's. But then, well, I don't need thousands of dollars worth of butter. So, I am holding off for the foreseeable future.

Fuji: I got a Fuji X100V this summer, and it's a joy to use. It's a great little go-everywhere camera. Gotta say that I love the ergonomics and the UI. I also miss IBIS more than I expected. Do I really like it? Yes. Do I like it enough to switch systems? No. If I were starting from scratch, Fuji would be a strong contender, for sure.

Canon: I debated between Canon and Nikon when I got my first dSLR. I went to the store (back when we still had camera stores) and tried both systems. The Nikon was simply more comfortable in my hands. I picked Nikon and never looked back.

Sony: No, no, and just no. I have never been happy with any Sony product that I have owned. I curse the UI on my Sony A/V receiver daily.  I looked at an RX100 once, and found it fiddly and uncomfortable.  I don't care what the spec sheets say. No Sony for me.
