Why narrow your choice to just two camera makes, because they so well known does not mean they are the best. I suggest you widen your choice to include about 5 or 6, I am not going advise you on any brands but do remember to include some mirror-less cameras.

I am amazed this little guy is built like a tank. I thought I was down sizing.
With the 100_300mm lens it weighs 29 oz.
My D5500 with 70-300mm Dx lens weighs 29oz.
Of course the EM10 is more compact and the lenses are about the same size.
And also the 100- 300 goes out to 600mm. Verses 450mm.
That EM 10 appears to have some heavy metal in it.
But it is compact... a little.

What else can you expect, you have a reasonably compact and light camera and the slap a heavy lens on it.

I haven't got a Green Auto button on any of my cameras, although I use "A" mostly along with "P" and "S" occasionally. All these setting are still basically "Auto" but I do use the Auto setting sometimes when I feel it is necessary.

Use Google Photos, it has a basic but quite good editor and it stores your photos free although with a limit on the resolution.

I use two methods, firstly try to stand with some shade over the camera LCD, or if your camera has a tiltable screen flip it out horizontally, lower the camera to waist level and compose your picture from above.

We recently visited Cancale, the Oyster capital of France, unfortunately it started to rain heavily as soon as we arrived and we took shelter in a Restaurant-Bar for a glass of wine. After half an hour or so the rain clouds rolled away and this is the view which appeared.

Many people complain about these tolls and the lack of information about methods of payment, apparently, it's not very clear if you are a stranger to the area, any way you hade a great time so that what matters.

Hi Jerry, UK vehicles have rear fog lights fitted as standard for many years now. Some car have one but most have two, they are built into the rear light cluster or separately lower down in the bumper. These fog lights have to be switched on manually and the switch is located low down to prevent accidental use, you have to remember to switch them off when there is no fog as they are so bright that another road users can be distracted

Lovely photographs Jim, I haven't been in that area for years but it still looks as beautiful as I remember.

I have used NCH software occasionally but was always disappointed with it, so I have not used it anymore.

I have a G85 ( which I love ) and some lenses; thinking about buying a Pen ( maybe E-PL9 ) to use as a backup ( currently use a panasonic Z60, very good, as a backup ); anyone use Pen, out there, and what do you think of this strategy ? ( I have D500, D810, etc. lenses, trying to eventually transition away )
Olympus Pen cameras are MFT, the only real difference is that Pen cameras have a viewfinder, therefore, are more pocketable. I have had an EPL-1 for years, the real problem with the earlier models was the LCD was only a 2.7 inches.
