I just shot two soccer matches. The zoom in the opposite direction made me dizzy. I have to go back to Nikon or Sony for action. Just too many years of zooming the other way. No OM No Canon. Just way too slow and very frustrating for a 30 year Nikon person

I'm very sorry, I think I misspoke. That only applies to focus, not zoom. Because zoom is mechanical, but focus is "By wire".

I sympathize, BUT I remember years of shooting pro sports when it was all manual focus lenses, and I shot with Nikon and Canon cameras and lenses during the same game, and had to quickly focus in opposite directions in a split second. There was a lot more focusing than any zooming. You can teach your mind and your muscle memory to do it, trust me.
Cheers and best to you.

If I had no other reason, I would hold onto a full frame camera for the 3:2 image format. Even thoigj I sometimes shoot in square format, the 4:3 aspect ratio is not attractive for me. And I would not want to always be cropping along the long edge of the image.
I realize that 4:3 is closer to standard print sizes, but I never print to standard sizes.

That is true, I was not clear.
I shoot landscapes and still about 20% of the time
Flowers about 50% of the time
Grandchildren and their activities about 30%. This is where I don't like the OM 1 -II It's not fast enough as a focus tool My Nikon D7000 is quite a bit bulkier but much better for capturing soccer, baseball, track, etc
I have been looking at Sony A7iii and Nikon z6 ii I have never tried the OM1, but it might be my best solution. The KEH store (they now have brick and mortar) is driveable, but into ATL traffic.

You probably want to remember to use <quote reply> so your response has context, especially if directed to a specific earlier comment.
It's been a while since I've purchase from KEH, but my understanding is their physical location is still just a warehouse. You have to handle the entire transaction online, and the physical location is just pick-up of the equipment, rather than having it shipped. Make sure you understand the specifics, and differences from my understanding, if any, before planning any trips to KEH.
When considered a full-frame camera vs a cropped camera, recognize the (potential) impact of losing the 1.5x crop factor of your D7000. You may be quite disappointed losing the crop factor when the pixel resolution of the FF sensor doesn't give you enough detail to crop back as 'close' as the cropped sensor gave you natively.
