Re: Why should a satisfied user of a g80 consider to upgrade to g90?

I have a similar bout of GAS but I’m coming from a GX7 and with a limited budget.

I purchased a GX8 on eBay but sadly I returned it due to a fault.

I also purchased an EM10mkii.

To be honest I was underwhelmed with the image quality differences going from 16mb to 20mb on the GX8 but the speed of operation was definitely improved and subjectively the OOC jpgs were better . The EVF is missing already!

The EM10mkii was a different upgrade as it provides some excellent Olympus features such as Live Composite which I wanted to try.

All in all I think that unless your old camera is limited in a way that is going to be improved by a new model I’d wait

Also recommend having both Olympus and Panasonic bodies to compare!!
