EM10 II vs G7 Buying Advice
3

Hello all,

Been on a journey of which cam I want to get and after extensive testing in a shop yesterday I have narrowed it down to these two.

Basically I am a beginner photographer who wants to develop my skills long term and get into it as a hobby/ potential business (in time) and like the M43 system most out of any I have used.

Currently I will be shooting my two daughters, events, indoor stuff and experimenting with landscape etc.

Video will be handheld only and mainly for family stuff.

So deals available on these two,

EM10 II + 14-42 ez/ 40-150 R £749 at Jessops with 18month 0% finance no deposit and 5yr warranty included.

G7 + 14-42 £458 from Expedite Electronics or £629 at Jessops with 14-42/45-150 (as I think Panny UK only give warranty on UK purchases?)

For me it boils down to following,

I would prefer JPEG shooting +1 OLY

I like 5axis stabilisation for video/ night static shots +1 OLY

I like fast AF +1 Panny

I like 4K Photo +1 Panny

I prefer build qual of EM10 +1 OLY

So kinda stuck! EVF is similar slightly better on Panny but not bad on EM10, Ergonomic slightly better Panny but prefer EM10 feel in my hand.

Based on all of the above which looks like better option overall?

Thanks
