Re: Pen F vs GX9

I like some of the features Olympus has put in their cameras (Live Composite, mainly) but I prefer Panasonic's ergonomics and menu lay out. And I did have an EM5.2 for a year or so.

This reflects my experience as well.  I like some of the extra features on the Pen F and I like its viewfinder a bit more than the GX85 (same as GX9) viewfinder, but I find the Panasonics quicker in use and more ergonomic.   My GX85 will also focus in lower light than my Pen F.

Each has its positives.  It would be great if all those positives were in a single body, but right now the body that comes closest to combining all the positives is the more expensive and larger EM1 Mark ii.  Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a tilt screen, which I find more useful than the flip out screen.
