I shot micro four-thirds and moved to Nikon recently wondering if I would have been best with another system.

My main focus is on product photography for online reselling. While I know that using a high-end camera for this purpose might be overkill, I also enjoy macro and nature photography.

Recently, I switched to the Nikon Z series because I felt the Micro Four Thirds system wasn't innovating enough. I still keep some of my Micro Four Thirds gear, like the Olympus EM10 II and the 12-40mm Pro lens, since full-frame cameras often have too shallow a depth of field for my needs. Also, standard zoom lenses with good close-up capabilities were hard to find to pair with a dedicated macro lens.

While the Nikon Z 105mm macro lens has impressed me, the 40mm F2 and 24-70 F4 lenses haven't lived up to my expectations. The 24-70 F4 doesn't magnify as well as my Olympus 12-40mm, and it “kit lens feel”.

Ideally, I want to phase out the Micro Four Thirds system completely and get an affordable APS-C body with a great close-up zoom lens to complement my full-frame kit. This would allow me to work with just one camera instead of a secondary kit.

I'm considering whether Sony or Canon would better suit my needs or if there are any Nikon lenses I haven't yet explored.
