How is life without a viewfinder?

My wife has the EPL-9. She found the screen unusable in bright sunlight. It was difficult to use for wildlife photography. I made the mistake of lending her my EM-5 Mark III. I never got it back. The Lumix GX85 is a nice rangefinder-style camera with EVF. I had one for a while. If you like rangefind

What Camera Might Work For Me?

You'd like probably a mirrorless camera that's compact and a long lens to go with it.

Backpacking friendly camera

+1 for m4/3 cameras. The OM System OM-5 Mk I or II will be perfect. Light, excellent weather sealing, and will produce professional grade photos if you use it right. Don't let anyone tell you different. I print 30x40 landscape prints off the older 16MP EM-5 II, and the OM-5s have a newer 20MP sensor

Choosing my system, M43 or APS-C, and what lens?

I used my E-M5 with grip yesterday, I attached the Olympus f/2.8 12-40mm to it ;) It's an option, but with the grip the camera is basically the same size as my E-M1. And don't forget the additional cost as well. For that money you can just a "better" camera (the E-M1s or even the GH5 do have better
