I never thought a G9 was worth double a G80 but with all the deals it is much less of a jump.

One of my reasons for holding back is that I like to own two bodies and I would never have been able to justify £3000. I'll only buy one now, I'm very happy with my G80 but one day the two G9s options will at least be an option.

A lot of my doubts are because I feel that I have never been overwhelmed by posted G9 pictures and have seen little that I think was unachievable with my G80.

TBH, on casual inspection I haven't seen many images taken with a G9, that are better than the same subjects I've taken with the E-P1. I don't think you can blame the G9 for that.

I think in terms of IQ we are facing diminishing returns on expenditure - probably not so when considering features and ergonomics.

You think a G9 might help you win photo challenges or something?

Thanks for sharing, nice photos.

But are you really going to put these from a G9 up against Trevor's challenge winning G85 photo? IMHO these aren't even close, which reinforces my point, really.
