Re: Upgrading to a Lumix G9 in 2020?

Think carefully if you don't actually have any m43 glass yet. The cost of a body is cheap compared to the cost of acquiring glass. In your case, your Nikon FF glass can be used on a Nikon FF mirrorless body with an adapter. A G9 may be cheap, but a substantial set of m43 lenses is less so. In light of the recent news and the system's now more questionable future, think about the possibility of being saddled with lots of compelling glass and no more bodies. I'm not saying that it is the case, but there is a legitimate question now of whether whatever m43 body you buy will be your last.

Bear in mind that I'm not saying Nikon Z-mount has the best future either, but when you have Nikon FF glass, a Nikon Z-mount body with no new lens purchases is always an option. You can get Z-mount glass if you're certain of the mount's future.
