I'd stick to Olympus normal 4/3rds as the mFT lenses tend to be more expensive.
Also it looks more 'professional' .
It's not that much of a dead end - you won't care what the situation is in 5
years time!
The E-620 with 9-18mm and 50mm would be good.
What you really need is a shift lens but you don't have the budget for it so
access to computers with a site licence for Photoshop is essential.
