i dont know about the Olympus system but i had the Fuji X-pro1 and loved it. Used XT1's can be found at good prices. Used X-Pro1's at very good prices. Lens wise it depends what you are shooting. The Fuji 35mm f2 is cheap and has good reviews. The older 35 1.4 is a great lens although a bit slow in autofocus. the best Fuji lens i used was the 56 1.2.
Edit: there the option of a used Sony A7 as well. You can use your Canon lens on it!

Thanks for the suggestion. I did look at the Sony offerings, especially the a6000, but I had entirely overlooked the full frame ones cos I figured they would be too expensive, especially because of the lenses. I see that you can indeed get a lot of adaptors, but an EF-S one which supports setting the aperture (it is electronically set) is quite pricey - probably more than I paid for the original lens!
Any thoughts about the lens lineup between Fuji and micro 4/3?

After many years of not taking pictures, I'm thinking about having another crack. Currently I have a Canon 350D + 50mm f/1.8 but I don't really feel locked into the Canon ecosystem. I am rather tempted by these newfangled mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras. Based on a quick browse I like the sound of both the Olympus OM-D E-M10 II and the Fujifilm X-T10.
Plan A is that I resume photography a bit more seriously and acquire a handful of lenses and eventually (2-3yrs) a fancier body. Plan B is I use this with the kit lens for general snapping. I reckon the odds are currently 80:20 A:B
I would appreciate the hive mind's opinions, particularly regarding the range of lenses in the two systems esp primes at the cheaper end of the spectrum. I am pretty ignorant regarding what is available. Current budget around £600 for body+lens. Internet has EM10 + kit zoom for £400 and a few plausible looking lenses around £200 but I'm going to Shenzhen & Hong Kong in a few months so might be able to get for a fair bit less there.
