Wanting a lighter, smaller camera that's still good. I've had an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II with Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f1.8 lens for 11 years.

Basically the subject line. I have no complaints about the quality of photos, but the thing is heavy. I would love to upgrade to something lighter and maybe smaller so that I use it more often vs. my phone. My old one is also pretty slow at processing and moving over to my phone, which I figure is because it's old. ​

My camera needs to be travel- and weather-hardy because I do travel a lot in diverse climates and weather. ​I shoot pretty much everything, from portraits to street photography to flora to landscapes. ​

Ideally at/under $2000 for body and lens(es).

I've done a lot of googling and reading on Reddit but it's just too much information. I'm overwhelmed. Hoping you all can give me some specific advice.

Thank you!
