Re: Why the GX9 ?

I'm in the market for a travel camera to supplement my DSLR and use it for street and city scapes. I've narrowed it down to the GX-9, I also considered the A6300 and Pen-F which I think is an excellent and good looking camera, I would love to have one but it doesn't meet all my requirements, nor does the A6300.

The features that attract me to the GX-9 are as follows;

20.3MP (though the A6300 has 24MP APS-C), 5axis IF, touch screen AF, no AA filter, Monochrome-D (High contrast), 4K Video with still capture, sequence Pics, Post focus (Focus stacking), In camera raw (Convenient while travelling), location data (w/Pany Apps) and focus peeking. One negative that was mentioned in reviews was that panorama stitching didn't fare well.

I realize that some of these features exist in the other cameras but the GX-9 has all the ones I want. I'm in no hurry to buy because my travel plans won't take effect until next summer, so if something better comes up I may change my mind.
