Ouch! That's no fun. How much is a new Olympus? Can you grab a used one off Craigslist in a pinch?
I went with Canon when I transitioned from film and have to say, they are built well. Cameras of any brand are pretty spendy.

The new body was 1900€, which is upper end of my bracket for sure. There are none of them out there used, but I could have probably found a mkII, problem is, used isn't much cheaper here a lot of the time and you never really know.
The Canons are too big for me these days and I already have lenses for the Oly :)
Oof. That seems steep, especially for a mft body. Tech is higher in Europe, though.
I was really close to changing to the Fujifilm cameras. Their x series looks like so much fun. The lenses are 1/2 the cost of Canon's, too.
Lens cost (size and weight too) was a big factor. I am not a pro, so I can suffer a little quality and depth for practicality.
