Hi guys..
I moved to mirrorless systems a few years ago, the Olympus OM-D E-M5. Great camera which has recently been replaced by a Lumix G80.
I agree with all of Rob's points - they are indeed negatives which need to be considered. I think some of the newer "full frame" systems (Sony A7 . Nikon Z7 etc.) do negate some of the previous issues with the M43 and 1" sensor cameras.
Then again, at over £2K for a body you would expect decent performance.
I'm quite happy with my G80 and 7-14 f/4 as long as the light is pretty decent. Always carry a couple of extra batteries with me too :)

I'm starting to look at spending my hard earned on a new camera and my eye is being drawn to the Canon M50 I've already got some Canon stuff from my EOS 20D so it would make swapping a lot easier and cheaper.

I put it next to a Canon RP on the compare feature on WEX and pretty well any difference apart from sensor size wasn't really going to bother me as long as I'm alright with the concept of an electronic image as opposed to a 'real' one via a mirror. Not that many places you can now go to suck it and see now Jessops have gone. Online is cheaper but so often you're buying blind.

one of the Currys near me had gone as bit like Dixon's used to be and actually have at least one knowledgeable camera expert, you may be surprised if you go there and ask.

Having had a look around to see who's still trading up here I'll probably have a trek into Wilkinsons and have a play with mirror less alongside a good old SLR. From what I remember they were quite helpful in the past and I'll stump up a few quid more if they still are.
