So I've been doing a lot of printing recently, and I've started getting interested in doing larger prints of my photos....which means....new camera time!
I think I'm going to get this guy:

Olympus OM-D E-M5 II
Anyone have any experience with this or other similar mirror less cameras?

Great and informative site.

Yup. Steve's, DPReview, and Wirecutter all give this camera very high marks. That's how I found it. :)

I love my Sony a6000.

Meh on the 4/3 sensor. Crop factor can make it tougher to get the pictures you want without the corresponding lenses. The Sony's aps-c is small enough. I'd love to get a full frame Sony (A7ii) but for the price/performance ratio I think Sony is pretty good. Especially with the price drop recently. The kit lens is OK but if I had to do it over I don't think I'd bother getting it and just go with other lenses instead. The only downside of Sony is the lens selection isn't as great and they're a bit more expensive than the others.

Yea - I was looking at the Sony too - especially when I was thinking more point and shoot. This paragraph from Wirecutter is what killed it for me. I think I like the option for a smaller frame with the Olympus...that said, I'll go reread the steve's and dp reviews of the a6000. In general, I think I'm looking a class up from the a6000 though. Thanks.
We brought in the Sony a6000 for some shooting and testing alongside our main picks. To say the a6000 is a well-regarded camera is putting it mildly. Released in 2014, it earned a coveted gold star from DPReview and was an Editor’s Choice pick for both CNET and PC Mag. It’s a fine camera, but after a few days of side-by-side shooting, we feel it’s been eclipsed by more recent rivals. The a6000’s APS-C sensor makes it a bulkier camera/lens package than the E-M10 models, and it offers only fair-to-middling high ISO performance: The a6000 doesn’t give you noticeably better-looking images when light levels drop. It falls well short of the Fujifilm X-T10, which delivers impressively clean and detailed nighttime and indoor images.

Steve's didn't review the a6000. Strange.

That olympus sounds and looks like a really nice camera, Kermi.
I also like the a6000 - I was not able to play around with it as much as I would want to yet, but on the auto settings it takes beautiful pictures. But what I am even more impressed with is the auto focus on the video feature - it is freaking amazing!

Olympus came today! I got stuck with a kid until late, so I haven't gotten to play with it much yet...sidenote: I got the keys and my first good look at the view from my new on-campus house...I'm beyond pumped.
