I'm considering a back-up camera to my Panasonic G9...

My first (and only) choice would be a GX9, if I don't get a second G9. When reviewing the GX9, I read comparisons to the GX85 (I have one) and the discussion started that the GX9 is really an updated GX85, not updated GX8. I had a GX7 and it was a fantastic camera (and I wasn't as pleased with the GX8.)

Anyway...the GX85 has a 16 MP sensor, the GX9 a 20 MP sensor. A number of reviewers suggested that unless video is a selling point (not for me), the GX85 might be a better choice.

So...there is more to the sensor than size...?

At today's price grab a second G9. There is a lot of content for the buck in that camera..
