Hoping I am placing this in the correct forum (I saw two that mentioned these camera systems).
I am a Canon DSLR user and currently love my 7D for shooting local sports and assignments, but I'm longing for something smaller/lighter for street photography and carrying around on vacation/personal outings where photography is not my main focus. So, I'm considering the Olympus OM-D E-M1 system.
At first I ignored these 4/3 cameras but I love the old school look of the E-M1 and have read very favorable reviews. Anyone here at OPF shooting with this camera? Which lenses do you most often use?
I'm also wondering how the IQ compares to a DSLR like my Canon 7D, any thoughts or personal experience on that topic? I don't expect the E-M1 to replace my 7D but I also don't want to spend the money just to be disappointed that the Olympus doesn't give similar results where image quality is concerned.
TIA,
Laura
