Quote:If you want something really small and light, and still would like good iQ, I am with thxbb12: MFT is the way to go.

 

E-M10 Mk I or II, or even E-M5 Mk 1 or II, depending on how far you can stretch your budget, or Panasonic GX80/85.

for the Oly I'd recommend the 14-42 EZ (pancake) with the 40-150 non-pro, plus a few 1.8 primes to your liking, for teh Panasonic the 12-32 pancake and 45-150 as per thxbb12, with a few 1.7 primes if you like.

 

All very compact, very light, and high IQ.

 

Personally I currently prefer Oly, basically because of th eincredibly good in-camera jpeg-engine, incredible IBIS, hi-res mode in the Mk II versions, and the user interface - you can make it as complicated or as easy as you like.

 

If you'd like something completely different, and the budget suffices, you could also consider the Oly Pen-F.

 

If you'd wanted, you could also get an adapter, or several, to use your Canon lenses with these cameras. Personally I'd recommend Metabones, as all functionality of Canon FF lenses still work and work well, but the Metabones adapters are not cheap, and EF-S lenses cannot be mounted, although 3rd party APS-C lenses can.

 

BTW, since your first real camera was an OM-2n, I reckon you will love the Oly OM-D cameras. They are actually slightly smaller, length and width, but slightly wider than the analog OMs.

 

HTH, kind regards, Wim
 

Hi Wim, Are you the same Wim from ~15 years ago? I used to post here a lot back in the early 2K's.

 

The one thing I'm pretty floored about with all the new cameras is the high ISO performance. How does the Oly compare to the other mirrorless I'm looking at? I don't expect it to be better, but can you get usable results up to 1600?
