There's a lot of great options here - my wife has an Olympus OM-D with a full complement of lenses that tempts me to sell off my Nikon D800, D300 and lenses. Been shooting with Nikon for over 30 years, and have absolutely no problems with their gear, but the smaller form factor of the Nikon Z series just announced is tempting to look at. If I had stuck with Canon back in the day of taking my dad's fully manual AE-1 on my first round-the-world trip as a backpacker (also had a Nikon N4004 (or N401 outside the US), which was one of the early auto-focus film cameras)) I may have stayed with Canon and not regretted it.

Kind of like a lot of the audio gear we debate about here, there's really no bad option. You could jump in tomorrow with something and not make a bad decision. One brand or the other might be better for what you want (ie., full-frame vs. micro 4/3) but hey, it's not exactly a problem, but a great set of options to choose from (sorry if this sounds flippant, am enjoying some margaritas with Boss-girl right now during cocktail hour after a long week at the moment! )
