The E-M1 II might very well be able to do that (the OP's G7 might be good enough as well though), but what is your experience with the precision of the Olympus AF system? I only played with the E-M1 II in a showroom, but the one point AF area seemed way too big for me and I have seen people complain in this forum that the camera can even focus outside of that pretty large area. If I want to take a portrait of an unpredictable child, then I need to be able to quickly and reliably focus on the eye, instead of the nose or ear. Panasonic seems to me to have a pretty big lead in this area, so I am not sure the E-M1 II would be a relevant upgrade to a G7 for OP's purpose.
