Currently I use Nikon DSLR bodies (D610 and D7200)... (show quote)
I have 2 x Olympus OM D EM1 bodies plus an Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro, 12 - 40mm f2.8 PRO, 40 - 150mm f2.8 PRO, 300mm f4 PRO and a PanaLeica 100 - 400mm. As far as I'm concerned the cameras and lenses are first rate and provide excellent IQ. I also own a Nikon D500 + Nikkor 300mm f4 PF VR and sometimes find it difficult to tell the images apart, even though the M43 sensor is somewhat smaller. You might consider a used EM5, as it has an enhanced picture mode of about 40 mega pixels for landscape. The EM1 is probably better for sporting events - again, you could look at a used one.

Last Thursday I purchased an OM D E M5 II and a 25 mm f/1.8 lens, both factory reconditioned, from Olympus USA, based on a tip that they had a 2 day sale on their factory reconditioned units. I should have both this coming Tuesday. I am looking forward to having a travel camera for an upcoming trip and out of town family events. Thanks to all of you who offered suggestions on bodies and lenses. Lots to learn about this new system and I look forward to the challenge.

I think you will find that camera body and lense combination an excellent starting point for learning the value of a system camera. And remember that Panasonic lenses will also function on your camera when looking at expanding you camera's view.
