What do you think about getting a GH4…? They’re still available, are half the price of a G9 and an even better bargain up against the GH5. And yeah, I know---no IS, no 4K. But the GH4 was really the one to set the standard in its day as a video tool.

Obviously money’s an issue with me. And also the fact that a camera’s a camera. It’s willing to take good pictures so long as you know how to use it properly. I’d love all the added features on an EM-1. II but if I shelled out money every time there’s an upgrade, well, we all know the score…

I was just curious if anybody else had considered the same idea.

How much is your interest video and how much stills?

Personally I'd be inclined to look at the G80/85 (especially if you're happy with the EVF and panning) as it's cheaper, has Dual-IS2 and 4k. (Note the G, not GX.)
