 as I said above above Eric my main mirrorless camera is the panasonic g80 coupled with a leica 100-400 lens this gives me due to the 2x crop factor a useable reach of 800mm and couple with 4 way i.b.i.s plus i.s in the lens to makes for a stable hand held combo .. that weighs camera and lens together less than 1.5kg .. it does suffer from its own quirks but it does work and has far more add ons that I can use ... i.e 4k video and also pre-shot mode that lets you pick your in focus shot from a large burst taken before and after pressing the shutter . . .. it does however leave me with a itch that I could do better at times hence the d300s acquisition ...

I also believe that the later panasonic g9 and olympus omd1-mkii are far better than I have but they are still out of my financial reach ...

unless you have actually bought into the MFT system and learnt it its easy to poo poo it but it does work 90% of the time its that enigmatic 10% that im after .

imho the next re-iteration of mirrorless from the combination of panasonic /sigma/and leica as a joint venture is going to make nikons and canons efforts look like box brownies ... but the main stumbling block is going to be the £and $ ...

and meanwhile olympus are promising a new MFT model in the new year that has never before seen features ... its gonna be a interesting 2019 that's for sure
