Investing in a new system...

Bluefoam

I bought a Pentax Q a couple of years ago & TBH, I love it... But my needs have changed and Pentax have stopped developing new bodies for the Q system. I'm looking to get into some video content & will need a camera with an external microphone.... So, I'm considering selling the Q & finding something else (maybe the FujiFilm XT10).

Does my Q have any value? A new system will cost me a fortune & I'll need at least 3 lenses (but not immediately)

I'm not trying to shill the Q here, I'm not even in the country for the next month, but is it worth anything? The bodies and lenses have actually gone up in price on Amazon. I have a Q body, Standard Prime (01), Standard Zoom (02), Fish Eye (03) & Wide Angle (08)... All in a pocketable form factor...

Also, any recommendation for a mirrorless system that won't cost a fortune?

This is looking more difficult than in first thought... Need a new system camera, here's the criteria:

1. video is primary
2. images secondary
3. image stabilization
4. video autofocus
5. connection for external mic
6. small size (will compete for space in my backpack)
7. price... Needs to be cost effective & will have to build up lens collection over time

Recommendations please!

Looks great, but on the pricey side for me. The Panasonic G7 is interesting, but the stabilisation is on the lens and it's not too clear which lenses have it...

In that case perhaps look for a used Olympus E-M5 II or E-M1. Both have in-body sensor stabilisation that will work with any lens.

I'm currently veering towards the Canon M series... My concern is that they bottom out at 18mm wide equivalent lenses, but that should be acceptable for interior shots...

Around 520euros with the 15-45mm lens (24-72mm)
