play w/ them. G9 EVF = immersive (-: Ergo may be better, and definitely UI. I reckon that they are a wash for IBIS and SAF (on Oly lens) but Em1ii has better rep for BiF.

Quality/reliability is another Lumix advantage (in spite of appearances), and in USA they extend warranty to 3yr, if u apply.

Ergonomics and U.I is not only subjective, but also relative.. the em1:2 is the highly logical choice.. similar ui, similar but vastly improved ergonomics, and common terminology.

the total flexibility of custom controls in only lets you have multiple cameras operating in very similar ways... I have ep5 and em1:2 setup similarly, and my gf em 5:2 the same..

family resemblances count a lot.. and like I would not recommend em 1:2 to a pana owner vs g9 I can't suggest that g9 is a better choice to oly owner.
