Thank you everyone for all the info. Very useful.

At this point in the life cycle of 4/3, what your feeling on the 20mp sensors vs 16mp? If focus should be on the 20mp, that basically means GX8/9, G9 which is getting a bit large for a compact kit, or OM 1 iii, which honestly is more than I want to spend on 4/3.

This very site has some fairly detailed reviews of cameras using the 20MP sensor, including some comparisons to the 16MP sensor. That should tell you if you want to focus on the  20MP, accept the 16MP, or wait for an upcoming release.

In General, I think that sensors improvrements are only going to be incremental, and are not even the biggest determinant of IQ any more. The current M43 sensors are not significantly behind the current state of the art.
