I have owned a camera from almost every system being produced but I always find myself drawn back to Olympus M43 cameras. I have a Fujifilm XH2S but I seem to prefer my Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III, to the point that I'm seriously considering selling my Fuji kit to get an OM-1. It's so sad how Olympus

I have been using a lot of digital sensor formats in the past (full frame (technically still use it), APS-C, even APS-H) and the reason that I got into micro four thirds was because of the smaller lenses and potentially smaller cameras. My foot in the door the MFT system was an Olympus E-M5 mark II
