What are you waiting for?

I am happy with my R5s having regularly upgraded before... not sure I can justify keeping my R3 any more. We will see come the autumn.
 
It looks as if OM Systems are set to release a new Pen F, which should be interesting. I do like a nice compact. :D

I have the similar Panasonic GX80 but since getting a Sony A7cII and a couple of compact lenses my MFT kit is hardly used. I can't really see myself buying more MFT kit when the size differences between MFT, APS-C and FF are arguably negligible these days at least for me and with some lenses.

Well, that's true. But it works both ways. In which case you might as well go for the MFT.

Not really, the weight advantage was the trump card for m4/3 so if they're equal why wouldn't you choose the one with the better image quality? Of course, it depends on the lenses, m4/3 still has a weight advantage with long telephoto lenses (y)

I misunderstood slightly. I was thinking of picture quality. But then I realised I hadn't read the post properly.

That's it exactly. Some of the MFT and APS-C body and lens combinations are the same size as FF or sometimes actually bigger or at best not smaller enough to make any difference. I've kept my GX80 for use with my long zooms and one other advantage is that the GX80 has a built in flash which can be tilted to bounce so that's useful for social photography but for days out and holidays the A7cII gives much better IQ with no significant bulk or weight penalty.
