I am in the market for a new camera. Currently need to replace a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX300. I am thinking of upgrading to a 4/3 camera with exchangeable lens. I have done internet research, but need knowledgeable opinions before I visit a camera store & talk with a salesperson.
Several years ago I used a 35mm Minolta Maxxum 7000AF (which I still have) along with: Quantaray external flash, Quantaray AF/MF 28-80 lens, Promaster AF28-200 zoom lens, and Rokunar 1.4 M/AF tele-converter. Due to my research, I am wondering if it would be wise for me to use this equipment & get a camera with in-body image stabilization? Of course, being able to add modern updated lens down the road.
This has lead me to the Olympus line due to it's physical stability & 5-axis stabilization. I have used a small bridge Olympus prior to the Sony and loved it.
Thus my question: Considering the mirrorless Olympus OM-D E-M10III, but some reviews state it would not be good for sports photos which are of importance to me. I might consider (even though quite expensive) the Olympus OMD E-M1 MarkII because it is said to have the AF action quality I am looking for, as well as, weather resistant body and other superior features. My quandary, is this: Do I need to spend that kind on money because I no where near a professional. (For your info--I have taken action shots with the Sony that actually show the dust sliding into home plate, stopped the ball entering into the catcher's mitt and am satisfied with the results, but dissatisfied with the lag-time.)
Any thoughts and suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanking anyone in advance for your input.
