Just looking for people's thoughts on this, if you needed to start from scratch with say a £1500-£2000 budget what current system would you buy into?
I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment, I sold my gripped 550d and lenses a while back and downsized to an A6000 because the Dslr was not being used due to size and weight, I like the size of the Sony but it continously frustrates me when I'm photographing my daughters indoors and low light and I end up missing shots, the amount of keepers in this environment are tiny compared to when I was using the Canon so end up using my phone rather than getting the Sony out.
I've decided to sell the Sony and start fresh so I went into my local camera shop and had a chat and got hands on a few systems and pretty much settled on getting a Olympus M1 with just a 12-40 Pro lens, with the mark 2 announcement a few days after this I held off. Now this announcement has happened the mark 2 and 12-40 would cost me £2.3k which is a lot more than my budget.
The girls will be in school after Christmas and the wife will be going back to work so I'll be able to get back out with the camera and use it a bit more than for just the girls.
Weighing up my options and reading reviews I think even with the M1 mark 2 I may be no better off in low light situations than I currently am, I think this goes for Mft in general?
If I went with the mark 2 I'd probably see whether it comes down in price after Christmas or import a body and buy the lens second hand.
The new Canon M5 is an option but the lens range is tiny and I don't want to use a adapter.
I've even been looking at getting another Dslr but skipping the grip this time and keeping lenses to a minimum.
The two that take my fancy are the Canon 80d or the Nikon D500 even though they aren't equivalent I prefer the 80d over the 7d 2, I've been looking at the Sigma 18-35 F1.8 as a general lens, I tend to use primes more so this zoom would cover my primes and give me F1.8.
Excuse the essay I just can't make a decision at the moment.
