Though I made big efforts to love them, I really hated the menu, screen, and image quality from Olympus Pen cameras. I hated them almost as much as I hate Panasonic. Maybe the newer ones are better, but I doubt it.
Plus, the size difference is so minimal to the smallest Sony Alpha/Nex that I’d sooner get APSC over M43.
You need to do the thing, go somewhere and handle each one.
I took weeks of visits to various shops back 3 1/2 years ago before I bought the A6000. Must have handled every option from Canon to Olympus, Fuji and even... Nikon. Still came back to Sony, still don’t regret it.

Yeah, I know, I've known. Urgh, shops.

Weirdly Panasonic menus are a bit clinical but I find them way better than Olympus and also easier to use than Sony.
Older gen Olympuses did seem a bit compromised, style over substance.You're right that the Sony A series are really compact these days, though lens sizes and volume, as well as small prime lens choices are much better in M43.

Yeah, considering where it's going and what's likely to befall it I'm looking at cheap.
But then I see 4/3rds units for the same price as 1" sensor cameras:

Cheers, I might keep an eye out for newer X100s
