Budget vs Pro Camera Challenge: 4-Way Battle

Today, we're putting FOUR very different cameras to the test — including my “new-old” Olympus E‑M5 Mark II from 2014, my full-frame Sony A7IV, the retro Samsung NX Mini, and a budget Sony compact. Can the old Micro Four Thirds system keep up with a modern hybrid beast?
