Are you after a point-and-shoot (pocket camera) or DSLR (body + lens camera)?
I use Canon 6D personally and think it's a great camera. Without wanting to sound like a complete jackass, I'm a photographer by trade and have managed photo equipment rental shops in the past etc
>amazing high-iso
>files are on par with the 5D mk3
>Full-frame unlike the 7Dmk2
You can get a battery grip to run AAs if you like, but I just bring an extra battery if it were a weekend trip
Couple it with a 40mm pancake ($150 lol) and you've got a rugged camera with professional quality files at a barely-larger size than "bridge" cameras.
And as far as DSLRs go, it's cheap enough that I don't worry about it when /out/ or whatever. It's my bang around camera.
I often use (dont own) a 1dx on shoots which would be the best of the best for nature photographers etc, but honestly even if money were no issue, it's too heavy and large
The other DSLR suggestions are all good, and you can't really go wrong with pentax, canon, nikon or olympus at that kind of level. Particularly with where the technology is at now, there is just so much camera crammed into these things.
I haven't tried the OMD but an OM1 was my first real SLR (I still have it) and it is imo a perfect camera. I imagine the OMD to be fantastic
For point and shoot I agree with the olympus tough series. I had an older version and put it through absolute hell underwater and shit. Great little camera.
