E-M5 Mark III Body Black

Full frame is better for low light moving targets. That said, that is exactly what I shoot: indoor sports. I found the 40-150 f2.8 lens affordable and absolutely fantastic. In addition you need a phase-detect autofocus camera. The EM5.III and higher (OM5 is the next in line), or the M1.II and higher

E-M5 III, OM-5 on the olympus side for something similarly sized but pricier G85 on the Lumix/Panasonic side; similar price but bulkier. https://camerasize.com/compact/#673,835,689,ha,f

OM systems did absolutely shoot themselves in the foot by re-using old camera names that are still traded frequently in used spaces. This creates a lot of pointless confusion. Keep in mind that the OM-1, being a full-grip pro-body that appeals to more serious photographers who are expected to use he

I think it was just too close to the em5iii. It’s a really good camera. I’m looking forward to the om-5ii. I prefer that form factor, and I don’t need the latest sensor. I do hope they include animal detect and maybe the graduated ND filters.

I do not believe in "future proofing" tech purchases. That allows people to upsell you to something you don't actually need by triggering your fear of being left behind, or making a wrong decision. My motto is only buy what you need today. Because if you need more next year, you can sell what you ha

$1000 isn't a lot but you could go with an Olympus E-M5 III and a Panasonic 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 which would be cutting it close but cover all your use cases. https://camerasize.com/compact/#835.931,ha,t you'd eventually want to get primes for low light scenarios as well.

I would sell all 3, and replace with something like an E-M5 III (used) or possibly OM-5 (refurb or new-on-sale if price is right) for PDAF.

Okay, so first of all, it seems you are pretty set on M43 / Olympus / OM System cameras. The first thing that you need to understand is that those cameras work with processor generations, and that some generations are super close, while other provide a generational leap. For example : True Pic VIII

Ok, little help then. Do check out 'Micro four nerds' on YT. She has made videos that touch on this. Two brands: Olympus and Panasonic. OM bought the Olympus brand but their cameras are beyond your budget. Olympus has four series for you: E-PL6/7/8/9/10 : Nice looking pocket cameras, no ´hump' on th

Everything I've read about Fuji says that their AF/CAF is quite some ways behind OM and Panasonic, which is a shame b/c even the latest m43 cameras seem to just meet the minimum standards of today. Just how annoying this is IRL, I can't say b/c I haven't had the chance to really wring out a Fuji APS
