Olympus OM-D E-M10

Pros: Fantastic construction; compactness; Very good sensor for the time (2014) and good at basic ISO even today; white balance; stabilized.

Cons: Advancing age, of course; unusable continuous autofocus; Precise and punctual single autofocus only in very good light conditions.

Opinion: Very well built machine, much better than the current ones, even in the much higher range. With a small optic, it weighs the right amount, remains compact, has no ergonomic grip, but handles well and has rings with impeccable mechanics. The image quality to date is obviously outdated, but for fun, entertainment and memories, it's fine. The white balance at the time was already very, very good and allows JPEG ready. At the time it was already stabilized (on three axes) and Olympus was light years ahead of the competition, so it still allows shots with adequate safety times today. To date, it can be found at ridiculously low prices (150, 200 Euros).

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-200mm f/4-5.6 OIS

Pros: Compactness, used price, more than decent at short distances, sufficient stabilization.

Cons: Optical quality, terrifying backlight, poor autofocus, low resolution.

Opinion: To start with wide and long excursions it is excellent: very low cost on second-hand, decent construction, good quality at very short distances for some portraits or flowers and insects. For scenery it is decent even at long distances. It is worth more than its cost. That said, the cons are: low resolving capacity at unacceptable levels over long distances (greater than 30 meters), obvious (but resolvable) barrel distortion, aberrations, single autofocus that struggles a lot in bad conditions and autofocus c sufficient only for absolutely static things and in excellent light conditions. I recommend it because at 200 Euros you can experiment with focal lengths that may or may not actually serve you in the future.
