Olympus OM-D E-M1

The em 1 would be an upgrade in every way. It's a pro level camera that's 3 years newer than your entry level camera.

I own an Olympus OM-D E-M1 and it's very well build, and surprisingly compact considering it was the flagship in 2013. One of my favourite parts about MFT is that the cameras and lenses don't feel as much like "tools" as they do "cameras" if that makes sense? They are fun, they are quirky, they have soul.

If it were me, I'd lean towards the Oly for its weather sealing, IBIS, and control layout.

For a walk around point and shoot that you would probably keep, I would go with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 - $260 – Review - superb in-body 5-axis image stabilization and has weather sealing and is freezeproof, splashproof and dustproof.

Olympus OM-D E-M1 -$279 and Panasonic Lumix G 14mm f/2.5 - $134 - For $100 more the Lumix 20mm f/1.7. The weight of this set up is 497 grams for the camera and 55 grams for the lens or less.

Cheap but good options. Olympus OM-D E-M1 -$279
