GX9 or EM5III?

EM5III

I don't have a GX9 nor an EM5iii.

However I do have a GX85 and an EM5ii.  As far as I can tell, the only 'meaningful' upgrade GX9 has over GX85 is its 20MP sensor.  So, I kept my GX85 as I have my PEN-F if I need 20MP (which I don't really need per se).

And I would consider an EM5iii is at the very least a two-step upgrade from GX9: PDAF and weather-sealed.  If its recently-discounted price is still within your budget, I'd go for it.

In fact, I'm planning to do just that when I find a buyer for my EM5.ii
