I've seen very little evidence that noise is an issue when comparing the cameras. This guy seems to make it a dead heat.

Wow! That was really in in-depth study.

I'm really leaning towards the G9 because of the excellent viewfinder.

I have a corneal condition, Fuchs Dystrophy, that's developing very slowly but really degrades my perception of contrast and a better viewfinder would certainly be appreciated.

we seem to have reached a point where each minor difference between cameras just comes down to personal preference. I have a friend with an EM1-II and against the flow, he doesn't like it. He comes from Canon and I assumed he wasn't getting on with mirrorless in general. He's had a play with my G9 (bear in mind set up to suit me) and now he wants to sell his Oly and buy a G9. He loves the viewfinder, couldn't get along with the Oly menus but finds the Panny ones very easy to use and surprisingly finds the AF on the G9 much snappier and more predictable. Read reviews and you can find someone who prefers a G9 feature over the equivalent EM1-II and vice versa. In the end I guess we all have our own comfort zones which may be irrelevant to someone else.
