Seems like you've already identified your mistake. Why would you even come here if you don't want to have arguments about gear? The site sucks for photo sharing

you did not because you picked the wrong camera (literally doesnt matter), but because photography is dead.

literally nobody buys 1 camera and is happy with it forever. All you have done is started onto a path of destruction for your bank account, dont stress, it wont be long and you will be back studying those gear reviews and planning your next purchase.

I simply take photos and share them with my friends and family, it's a fun, relaxing, meditative hobby.

Captain Obvious here:
If the tools you could afford enable you to properly do the task you got them for, then it's not a mistake. If you do not use the tools or the tools are not good enough, then it is a mistake.

Nice. Totally needed a $3000 MILC for that.

So what's the issue then? It's a great camera, and the system is overall very cheap. You shouldn't pay too much attention to what people here are saying about the system. If you want some confidence, go check out flickr or reddit where people post pics taken with the same camera.

I'd say the good at night part is debatable, but that's class-leading ibis so still subjects will be just fine. I remember getting 2s handheld shots with E-M1 iii some time back. Sold it to get more FF glass in the end, lol.

People will seethe regardless of what you get lol. Stop justifying your purchase to literal nobodies and just enjoy photography. I'm sure you bought it because of some traits you liked, and some disadvantages you didn't care about, so just use it.

Just take photos and then look at them. Print some. Then you can start thinking about what kind of a tool would serve you better. Spergs here will just seethe and never post photos anyways.

That's because you did, you bought m43 despite everyone telling you not too. 4chan is a place of compulsive contrarians, which normally doesn't matter and provides a lot of great humor, but in the case of spending money it means you're just going to be stuck buying bad gear because of your unresolved neurosis.

You could have spend $300 and bought a full frame dslr and not had to worry and doubt, but because that's the sensible choice and the obvious recommendation you compulsively had to do the opposite. You really have no one to blame but yourself.

So are many of the other arts. From music to design to CGI whatever. It's the absolutely worst time to be a creative, and I don't see it getting any better in the foreseeable future.
