If one is looking for the shiny functions and nice bells, the Olympus E-M1.2 and 3 have more and better implemented ones. Just to give a few examples:

1) The G9 cannot use flash with any of it's stacking or high res modes.

Just a nitpick - it is possible to use flash when stacking if you connect a manual flash using the sync port rather than the hot shoe.

It's an annoying work around -- why Panasonic chose to pointlessly cripple their flash system is beyond me -- but it does work.

In all fairness, the Panny stacking isn't brilliant and you get much better results by focus bracketing.  The Oly stacking seems a bit better but most people say you will still get better results with third party stacking software,
