Re: Looking to upgrade from a Lumix GX7 for Clean HDMI Output

Assuming you wanted to stick with Micro 4/3's, not explicitly clear from your question, i.e. are you looking to/okay with switching systems?

Take a look at the DC-GX9, It is kind of thought of as the spiritual successor of the GX7, and has a retractable door over the micro-HDMI port and micro-USB ports on the side. It does exhibit some rolling shutter in 4K, but is very good at FHD.

Otherwise a DC-G9 would be a step-up price wise, but does allow for 4K, and with the $99 DMW-SFU1, it does 4K 10-bit internal, making it much closer to the pricier GH5. Also, given that you have Panasonic Lenses, the DFD system in the G9 should allow for faster AF speeds
