As someone that shoots both the RX10MIV and the OM-1 I can say there’s a definitive difference.
Stunning shots

Nothing is perfect, and you have to decide for yourself. Why not go to mu43 dot com and look at some of the galleries? It's a very friendly site, and tons of info on 4//3. I started a thread there on the 100-400 which has lots of images on it if you're interested:

Thanks for the link, more reading and fussing about to do. As usual when I make big purchases I over analyze. Makes my DW crazy

I have been going everywhere here at home and love what B&H suggested.
The lens even does Macro.
The camra is full frame and has 61 mp.

Took this in Scotland at a Red Kite Sanctuary from a ‘Hide’ as they call it…OM-1, Oly 100-400, from ~100 yds, cropped, converted in Luminar…I had a lot of good ones, a lot of bad ones since I’m not a great BIF shooter, and these birds are fast. I really need practice….Cheers
A breathtaking capture 👁️👁️🏆👁️👁️

IMO, your search for better IQ (than RX10) on M4/3 STARTS with the LENS. M4/3 does NOT have any lens/lenses that can compare to the Zeiss 24-600 equiv on the RX10 - NOBODY does ! Then, better IQ ends with post processing. In between, of course is the sensor/camera body.
It is very simple. RX10 has a f4 lens. In order for M4/3 to have an ISO/IQ advantage, the M4/3 lens needs to be f4 or faster !

Regarding physical limitations, I hear ya Lima Charlie! I just got back from Germany and I too need to accept my own limitations! Is that a KC-10 and an A-6 or a EA6B in your photo, just curious.

If one is concerned about $$$ the EM-1 Mark 3 will pretty much give you most of the OM1... Built in ND filters etc... Being on the leading edge is not always the most cost efficient unless you are maybe feeding your family on your efforts.
The AF in the OM-1 is a significant upward step from the E-M1iii. That was the reason I upgraded from the E-M1iii to the OM-1. I didn't jump on the pre-order bandwagon for the OM-1, I wanted to see more independent reviews of the AF.

Although the Sony DSC-RX10 IV is a great camera, you have indicated you want something that is different and has some more features. For the size, weight, and cost of the OM-1, 12-100, and 100-400, I personally do not think you are going to find a better system camera.
You are looking for a camera that is not an "all-in-one" camera. You are looking for a camera system that is small, light weight, does not necessarily need a tripod, and travels well. And you want to shoot travel shots and wildlife with good image quality. This determines what you should buy.
There are full frame and APS-C cameras that match some of these requirements, but not as well as they are met by 4/3rds systems. And there are professionals that are earning their money with 4/3rds cameras, so the argument of not enough image quality does not ring true. Please understand that we 4/3rds users love our superior IS, love having a weatherproof system (no extra gear), love having some of the best optics possible, and getting it all with less size, less weight, and less cost. For us 4/3rds users, it is the system that makes the most logical sense for our shooting.

Good... At least you had a valid reason and had needs to fulfill. I still have EM-1 mark 1 and would like a second body but OM1 is beyond my reach right now...
