I have been using the G9 under INTENSE rain when in Africa with no problem hey whatever rocks your boat

Great! That's the type of first-hand info I was looking for!

you re welcome . to be very accurate , I shot two days in a row under intense rain. at the end of the 2 day the back LCD was kind of fogged but it went back to normal after a few hours in a dry environment

since you now follow me on Instagram , 99.99% of the Africa pics you see posted were shot with the G9

They look fantastic, great compositions and colors!

if YOU are comfortable with this combo then why bother buying a new camera

I love the GX7 and for some things it's totally fine. But AF and sensor on the GX9 are considerably better.

and the G9 is considerably better than those two , Better AF, better handling , better customisations , better EVF, very useful top LCD , better handhold ability with long lenses and especially the one you mentioned

That's great to know. And I was kind of guessing that. I am perfectly ok with the AF on the S1 (despite all review complaints, which are usually on C-AF for video), which is noticeably better than the GX9. But sensor read-out, which in theory should be much faster on the smaller MFT. So I was assuming the G9 would be at least as good as the S1 if not better.
