Thank you. I am considering G80 too. But for one, my most important criterion other than size is AF and there is no upgrade in AF from G7 to G80 so I don't know if G80 is a necessary upgrade for me. The debate between EM1 and G7 would largely depend on which one is better at AF. And the G80 comes with the 12-60 instead of the 14-140. I don't have much interest in that 12-60 lens. Actually, my interest in G7 might be attributed more to the lens than the body.

I have the 14-140 with my G7 and with that combination, I don't think that in normal light conditions there is much room for any improvement in AF it is very very quick in every situation I use it for.

Thanks. You mean you don't think PDAF would do any better than DFD? Or is it that 14 140 itself is a very fast focus lens?

It may struggle a bit more in low light and indeed the G80 has new lowlight AF functionality. I don't know how that will be but it is supposedly a step up.

I'm not aware of that. Thanks for pointing it out.
