I'm late to the post as usual. Many will not agree with me, but I say that my experience is from having a G9 for six months, yes it is a great camera but one should always handle a camera if possible before buying. After 6 months I was getting rather tired of the G9 too large and heavier than any mft camera I have used previously, so long story short looking at results from other forum members I choose to change to a G80/85 and glad to say have not regretted it for one moment. Fits my hands like a glove performance is as good as I need. So my advice is if the G9 does attract you then do try to handle one first. But if you view some results by forum members using the G80/85 then you can judge whether they would suit your requirements. A good selection to view check out Windmillgolfers sites.

I have been a photographer for over 70 years, and my aim is to produce photos that please when viewed not for faults but mostly familiarity and memories.

I agree 100% with this. We are all different and have different tolerances. I don't like using my G85 for very long without the battery grip due to it being just a little too small. Ergonomics is one of those very personal things that you need to experience for yourself. The size is actually one of the reasons I'm looking forward to adding a GH5 or G9 one day.
