Have been pondering recently about the Oly OM-D. It has high max ISO, ability to take legacy lenses plus 2x crop factor, whether you could get a manual focus 300mm f/2.8 and use that to have an effective 600mm f/2.8 and thanks to the built in image stabiliser, every lens is stabilised
I have the Oly OMD to go with my Nikon D7000, and just purchased the Oly 75-300, the lens that provides the equivalent of 600mm focal length. Have yet to use it for sports since my soccer-playing grandson lives 3 states away. At the full telephoto length, a monopod will be required at minimum. The lens is not real fast (4.8-6.7), but delivers sharp images. Of course, the IBIS helps, but it doesn't make up entirely for a steady hand. That said, I've never had more fun with a camera. Got it to take with me wherever I go, due to it's small size, and now can't keep it out of my hands.
