Hi

I walked into B&H today 90% positive i was going to go with a Fuji X-H1 and left with a G-9.

When it came down to the Oly OMD1 MkII and the G-9 it was a tough call until Oly made it easy by befuddling myself and two B&H guys trying to simply get the stupid focus box to display and move with the 4 way. The G-9 was intuitive and within 30 seconds of play was able to adjust the focus point size and shift it around with the focus lever.

The G-9 EVF is insanely immersive and huge as advertised. It is a shooters dream. I have larger hands and the camera fits great. It's also noticeably lighter than the Oly when fitted with the 12-60 versus the 12-40.

Someone mentioned earlier about "greater than the sum of the parts" and I find it a dead accurate statement. And the current pricing makes it easy to jump for the system technology bang for the buck.

Funny how things turn out. And your winning image was stunning 😀.
