I am torn between the GX9 and the EM-5; actually waiting for the Mark III version to see if there is any major improvements like 4k video or 20Mp sensor, etc.. Beside photos, I do like to take some video to create a nice slideshow presentation, 1080 is usually fine, but 4K would be better on my UHD TV. Weather proofing is not an issue as none of the lenses have it and I usually would not be walking around in the rain when traveling in cities.

If you can wait, then that's what I'd suggest since the EM5 III should be coming out, soon.  At least in my opinion.  But if you can't, then GX9 seems pretty good.  Also, I find the G85 to be close enough in size/weight to my ex-EM5 II that I have no qualms carrying it and using it in the same way.
