Winner lose, loser win

Lyric from Steve Winwood, Go 

For reasons I accept, a Z50 is coming soon - and the eM1 and a lens or three is leaving.

  • Pros: larger sensor, smaller camera, tilt screen, USB battery recharge, Nikon menus like my former Z6, 'solitude' picture control
  • Cons: no IStab inside, shorter battery life, usbμ port, plus a few Oly/OM features I like but have never used!

Its starter kit is a TTArtisan 17:1.4, future 23+40 primes, and the VR 50-250 zoom. At some point I plan to seek a VR 12-28mm, but more μ43 gear needs to sell first. For now the Pentax 40/2.8 will do nicely!

The camera comes with 3 batteries and a charger, so power won't be a big issue. 

I briefly considered a Z30 but its only view is via its flip screen, which outweighs the usbC power port for me. I rarely make use of a flip screen, but definitely will tilt for shots pretty regularly!

Note that the eM1² departure does not kill the μ43 kit! The gf9 and Lumix 14-140, plus a few nice primes, will carry on.
