"D500 is the ultimate DX body. **Especially** for wildlife and sports."
"If you want to remain on DSLR, I'd undoubtedly go for the D500."
"Nikon D500 will be the best dslr option for you."

"R7 in a heartbeat."
"Canon EOS 90D is great."

"It is almost glued to my gx9."
"Right now you can get a G9ii on Adorama, with a free leica 9mm."
"I will crush all what you got and put out g9 with Pana Leica 12-60 plus 100-400."
"For hiking in decent weather, I'd go with the GX80/85 or even better a G100."
"I totally vouch for - on mpb.com."
"A GH5 (or wait for the GH6), or GH5II, or G9, with a couple f2.8 zooms."
"Lumix S5 II. It’s shared technology with SL3/Q3 and shoot ProRes."
"Personally I use GX80, 12-32 OIS as an everyday lens, and 20mm 1.7 for low light."
"Used G9, used Z6, or even just a recent enough DSLR."
"A gh3 is a great camera for shooting 1080, used to be an amazing camera."

"I use the OM-5 with the 12-45f4 pro and 40-150f4 pro combo."
"I'd consider the EM-5 III, paired with the Oly 8-25 f/4 pro and the OM 40-150 f/4 pro."
"It was probably the best decision I've ever made for my photography."
"I use a Oly E-PL7 for hiking."
"I think the EM5 Mark II might be better if you plan to use a capture clip."
"Personally I went with an em5ii and the olympus 14-150mm ii."
"IMHO, I would look into the Olympus OM 1 Mrk 2."
"OM-4 is smaller and has all you wanted."
"I have an EM-1 that would probably work for you."

"The Fuji X-T4 may be a great choice. Great specs, great image quality, 10 bit video, 4k60/1080p240."
"Get an XT3 and bank the rest of your budget for more glass."
"Two months ago I bought an XT-200 and some prime lens just to try it."
"The easiest transition is to the X-T3 since they even use the same battery."
"XT-20 or it's soon to be released successor."
