I had a G7, and a couple of months ago upgraded to a G9.

I got lots of good shots with the G7 but I always shot Raw because I didn't really like the built in JPEG colors, not that they were horrible, they were just slightly off on greens and blues, and I could do better developing from Raw.

Also, G7 is not weather sealed, and it doesn't do focus stacking.

G85 is the camera the G7 should have been. It is weather sealed. It does do focus stacking. It has a new shutter mechanism that reduces shutter shock (even though I think that is an overblown concern, I have observed it in a couple of G7 pictures).

The G9 has an updated JPEG engine that is terrific! It is really what made me upgrade.

Hi Joseph,

Thank you so much for your reply.

Actually I already have turned down the offer.

When I am going to replace my 5d, it would be either EM1ii or G9. But right now, I need to deal with my em10ii.

I look so much forward to the real upgrade in the near future.

Wish you all the best.

BR,

Bahman
