Lumix G7 VS Oly EM10 MK ii

Hi guys!

I'm looking to purchase a mirrorless camera soon and have set my sights on either the Lumix G7 or the Oly EM10 Mk II.

I've researched quite extensively on both cameras and its pros and cons but I think it is a good idea to check with you guys through personal experience to ensure what I have in mind is not just product bias.

I will be using the camera for some video filming, as well as shoots. Nothing too commercial here, all personal use.

I'm a little conflicted here. I really love the Oly's design and IBIS, especially in video IBIS, which means I am able to make use other m43 lenses and not lose the stabilization.

The panny G7's 4k video makes me shed a tear in excitement, especially downscaled to 1080 is amazing. In fact I had decided on the EM10Mkii, but stumbled upon the G7's videos on YouTube which shook my decision. The only thing I may dislike is the plastic build and look of the G7, coupled with no IBIS which may be an issue if I decide to go for 3rd party lenses.

Lastly, for those who has the Oly EM10 Mk ii or similar Oly cameras, is the video quality really bad or is it YouTube not doing justice with its compression. If anyone has a raw output from the EM10ii for comparison, it'll be great!

Once again, appreciate the comments!
