Re: Lens and Camera Upgrades

On a high level.  The G9 has IBIS so every non stabilized lens now has image stabilization

If you like your lenses keep them and up grade the body.  I have not researched the other Panasonic body.

Past that, I just bought the Panasonic 30 mm macro lens myself, it is on sale $100 off.  It was $50 off, but dropped again so why not.

My other lens is the 12-60 mm 2.8-4.0.  I tried the other 12-60 slower lens and to me I see a quality difference.

If you are totally revamping the kit and are open to ideas I am also a Fuji X owner and you get a larger sensor and really top notch glass that panasonic does not offer consistently.

What I mean is Panasonic has Lumix and Leica branded line that seem to be two tracks.  I will say I have used Fuji extensively as well as Nikon DSLR so I have been around the block

really every Fuji X lenses is Panasonic Leica quality for some kind of analogy.  Even kit lenses over there etc...  The Fuji XH-1 has IBIS ..

I buy gear based on what i need not the name of the camera or loyalty to the brand, loyalty gets me nowhere with cameras.  I use an Olympus waterproof camera i like even...

I like the G9 and will keep my Fuji XH-1.   The G9 has some video features I like over the Fuji X.  Sometimes I like the photos out of the Fuji better than the Panasonic.

I think I really got bitten by the GAS bug, bad this time.... lol
