This week (month actually) I sold a couple of things that I liked quite a bit.
But I am trying to focus on what I will use and two cameras should be enough for anyone.
1. I sold my Olympus E-M1. This is the third time I sold this camera a few months after buying it, and I never lost any money doing so. The benefits are clear: Tough, compact, great grip for most lenses, large viewfinder, decent battery life with cheap and abundant batteries. But so are the disadvantages: Grip too short for larger lenses. Low contrast in viewfinder, noise from Panasonic sensor making it less versatile, and the rear dial is prone to failures. My shutter was also mushy.
This time I think I will not buy another one, as it has been replaced with a Mark II, which is better in almost every regard, except that one is slightly larger and I will miss the simple tilt screen of the Mark 1.
2. I sold my first mirrorless camera ever, the beloved Olympus E-M10 ii. I kept it even after trying several newer and supposedly better cameras because it featured everything I loved about mirrorless and especially Olympus cameras: Small, compact, lightweight, crisp and OLED viewfinder with high contrast, full of customization and features. I sold for a fraction of what it cost me over 2 years ago but a good friend wanted to get into the hobby and I want to help him as much as I can, since their family is growing he didn't have lots to spend. I might miss the camera since it's so beautiful and built like a little gem but as I mentioned, 2 cameras is probably enough. And after getting the E-M5 iii which is only a hair larger, but the same weight and chock-full of features, plus the flagship sensor, there is little reason for me to carry this instead.
Oh and I should mention, despite being well-built it had to be repaired twice. One time, the bayonet wouldn't release my Pana 20mm anymore, and had to be dismantled. The second time, the screen cable got loose over time which led to blackouts. Both were fixed but warranty has expired so I really hope it doesn't break again.
3. My friend needed a kit lens to go with his first camera, and what better starter lens to equip him with than the lovely Panasonic 12-32mm pancake? It was my first upgrade after immediately ditching the 14-42 ii R from the Oly kit, and I loved this little lens, especially for its sharpness and 12mm wide angle capabilities. Again I might regret selling this but I have the 12-40 f2.8 PRO and now the 12-45 f4 PRO for comfort. There is little reason to own three standard zooms, if I want compact I can use the f1.8 primes or the Pana 20mm for a really small setup with prime sharpness to boot.
I ought to try only lenses and no new camera bodies for a while - with the new acquisitions I'm pretty much set and the 20MP sensor is the best Olympus has to offer. It's not a huge jump in quality but I do appreciate having more leeway for cropping.
