After looking at both Pany and Oly the em10/2 is winning. Don't care about video or the 40 mp em5/2. Em10/2 is $300 cheaper; the price of a nice prime. Looking at M4/3 due to size,price,glass and IQ.
At the tender age of 70 I am forced to get smaller & lighter gear to stay in the game. Listing my beloved nikon bodies/lenses:
D610 with 28-105 D/Macro and 20mm f2.8 D $1,500 obo body has 3,500 actuations; all show at +90%
D7000 with 16-85 VR $650 or $350 ea. Body has around 5,000 actuation and both in like new condition.
Seller pays ground shipping CONUS ONLY.

I think Can/nik has missed the boat in mirrorless. The Df would be the perfect candidate, 16 mp, retro styling ....Oh wait Olympus has all that and is AFFORDABLE.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. It was very helpful.
Sony is out because of the lack of lenses. I like Zuiko better.
Sadly Nordland is on Marrowstone Is, .Wa St Near Pt Townsend. Interested in D7k?
My D7k has been unused for the last year since I went to D610. Body is at 90% of new; no scratches,dings or dents. It comes with box and usual stuff; charger, manual etc. Nearly 5,000 actuations on shutter.
Lens is 16-85 f3.5-5.6 VR G. Glass is perfect.Always front lens filter. Works great. Comes with,bag, both end caps and hood. Asking $450 ea or both $800. three hundred sixty three
seventy nine eighty-four eighty.
The D610 is available. I am LARRY FOSTER.105 Nolton Rd, Nordland Wa 98358, 360-379-8480. email nordlandfosters@gmail.com. Please call with questions re D610 and sale details.
If things work out you are getting a hell ova a camera. I am retired/fixed income and will never afford the glass that this body so deserves. Thanks lad
E M5MII, is high on my list for replacement of too heavy DSLR.
So tell me how you find the em5/2: Handling and ergo, IQ, lens quality and price and lastly reliability and dealing with Olympus.
Please save Panasonic/Fuji comments.
It is with great sadness thaI am listing my Nikon gear. Old age is taking its toll. Here is gear;
D610 W/ 28-105 F3.5-4.5 D/MACRO $1,150
D7000 w/ 16-85 f3.5-6.5 G VR $600
3 Sigma DX lenses:
10-20 f4.5-5.6 HSM $330
17-70 f2.8-4.5 HSM/Macro $270
18-200 f3.5-6.3D $175
ALL 3 SIGMA LENSES TOGETHER $575
Both bodies are in nearly new condition D7k 5,000shots, D610
3,500 shot. Both in original boxes and contents. All lenses grade A with caps & hoods.Trade for EM5MII
Sorry, old man here with brain fart, you are so correct.
Camerapapi The 28-105 was a kit lens on my D700. Camera resolution has improved greatly since then. Have found it to be soft on the edges but easily fixed by cropping. I think the new lenses with nano coating etc are better; however I use this lens 90% on the 610.
If it works for you, as it dose for me, be happy and shoot away. laf
Old age and arthritis have finally caught up with me and I am no longer able to hold the 610 without shaking. I cannot tell you how sad I am about posting this; aspired to get 610 and absolutely enthralled with full frame. Body has less the 3,500 shots on it and come with box etc. Asking $1050. Also have 28-105 3,5-5.6 D Macro lens that works well. Lens is clean and in very good condition with hood and end caps.
Asking $175. The 610/24mp push this lens to its limits but if you can not afford 24-120 this is a good second choice.
My d7k has been sitting since I got the d610. This body is in excellent condition with no marks or scratches. Body has less then 5,000 shutter actuations. Comes with box etc. The lens is in excellent condition.
Asking $600 for both; if split $350 each. If you are considering moving up to a DSLR this is a great combination.
