Re: Pany G7 vs G85 vs G9

I have used a raft of mFt cameras.  I have gotten away from m43 chasing something that doesn't exist and a severe case of GAS.  I agree with your statements for sure on the G85 and G9. But, I think right now the value camp in the US is for sure the GX85 IMO.  I just ordered one and expect it Friday.

I will say that I SOOOOOOO want a G9, but historically am not an early adopter.  Most of the comments made here were said when the EM1.2 came out as well. I still agree that the pricing is too steep, especially for the enthusiast.  I will say the G9 has me wanting to ditch all my other systems, which I have been paring down anyway, and give m43 a great big hug again.  The one thing I will say about buying the flagship is that the cool kids get all FW updates.  Which can be frustrating when they drop and your camera doesn't get the newest AF or Codec.  It does lengthen camera body life (can hear the rationalization?)

I will probably end up with a G85 and GX85, maybe a GM1 if I see a deal I can't refuse.  All the while lusting for the G9!!
