Why do I need a G9

Can only respond from the E-M1ii viewpoint. 20MP IQ is better than any 16MP model. There, I said it--fight me! Specifically, images are...smoother(?), require less work in post and--duh--more croppable. Not dramatic but welcome. Better highlight/shadow capture, better low-light response. I'mvery happy with the new sensor.

Consensus appears to be E-M1ii > G9 for BIF and other erratic subjects. I have to believe the lines get blurred with cross-brand tele lens combinations but in sum it would seem DfD is behind PDAF and the M1ii's processing power and A.I.

Hard to endorse the M1ii for its small size but adjacent to the G9 is certainly is, while for my mitts has the best camera ergonomics I've had. It's well matched to the 300 Pro, with and without the grip, and yet small lenses handle fine.

For your pursuits I should think the keeper rate will jump with either camera. If there's any way to field-test then by all means, do that. I hit "buy" having never handled an E-M1ii and from first frame was won over. Can't recommend it highly enough.

My $0.02.

Cheers,

Rick
