Re: Why do I need a G9

Went through the same internal debate for months, finally traded my G85 for the G9 right before a trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons. I'm so glad I did, even though when you look at the individual advantages it doesn't seem to be enough. But when  you put them all together it's just pure delight in a camera. I've also traded my old lenses, including the f2.8 12-35 and 35-100, for an all-Pany Leica lineup: 8-18, 12-60, and 50-200. These lenses are simply terrific performers on the G9. I also like to have 2 cameras, but not necessarily the same, just similar. So I also have the GX9 for a lighter and smaller everyday camera, paired with the 14-140 or 20/1.7. It's a nice backup for the G9 if ever needed, also.
