Re: X the X (go G9)

On 1 hand, i like to mate a short lens w/compact body, (gx8 w 12 - 60 cheap v)  and big lens w big body (100-400 w/g9)

The. Other big factor is shooting style , do you contantly dial in changes to your A, SS, exp comp, focus points, ISo etc  If yes, the g9 has the   most user friendly controls I've ever had in a camera of any sort. Everything where I need it, rarely make an errant button press(vs everyday on the gx series.

So I'm a g9 fan boy now esp for the bird work, but will still use the gx8, g80 for "walk arounds"  basic landscapes etc.

BTW, I find g9 sharpness overall IQ better  Not sure why.? New sensor? lack of LP filter (same as g80) , better IS for handheld?.

Never will test it formaly. Like the famous judge when asked how he defines porn as obscenity, he replied  12 wc"I know it when I see it."
