G9 ...

G9, cheaper than an EM1 II, at least as good, and I would say slightly better camera. Really a no-brainer with current pricing. I just got the G9. I have tried the EM1 in a store. Both are good. G9 has better EVF, better controls including an AF joystick. As a bonus it costs less, but even if cost were the same I would choose it over t he EMN1 II. The cheaper cost really is just icing on the cake.

The g9 does have some pincushion distortion in the VF if your are bothered by such things.  Apparently the Oly just distorts in the other direction.  The G9 VF overall is gorgeous and higher res than the EM1. You can easily choose from the 3 views where the area used shrinks down.  Handy if you wear glasses and need to see the corners.
