Re: G9 vs the GH5

One of the reasons i skipped the gh5 is it being to videocentric for me heck ill take 8 bit with better af any time disappointed in not being global for us pal users and the 10 min 4k 50p ,but my videos are all brief anyway,the stills features are what i want no evf black out ,120fps refresh rate ,20 fps c-af ,pre capture modes ,80 mp stitched hi rez  ,better controls for photography ,6.5 stops ibis  although i have most of this covered with the em1 mk2 ,it just looks as though the g9 progresses a little more over my olympus and not forgetting the user interface on the panasonic a little more up to date but both gh5 and g9 share this .

10 bit video would be nice but creates large files although i am not sure if the g9 comes with all the log options that the gh5 has but grading not really my strong point either ,ill take the slightest improvement on the stills images of the g9 jpeg and raw possibly the best m43 stills to date but then same said for gh5 and video.
