Thanks all for all the replies. I took the plunge and ordered a G9 last night. Looking at various other options, the Z6, D500, D780, and even a Canon RP and Sony A7 III, I kept coming back to the G9. I think it will end up being a great addition to my Nikon kit, and help me love M43 even more.

Cheers

it may not be the most sexy body, but it is a lovable, tactile delight. UI could not possibly be better. The EVF puts it over-the-top, and even in IBIS and CAF, it virtually matches the EM1ii. Superb menu & touch screen. Customizable to the max.

Pure LOVE; intangibles elevate it above the APSC crowd. The Fuji XT4 maybe more beautiful, but all those analog dials are actually not the best for ergo and quickness

Completely Disagree.

Fuji cameras are much quicker to function. Even off, you know where most of your settings are. Apeture is on the lens, which I'm usually holding and quick to adjust. That you can also see when the camera is off or sleeping.

The video (I guess) is state of the art, and the CAF using 4K is much better than reported

Needless to say, I expect you'll be happy!

I'm not a fan of inconsistency, not all lenses have aperture dial, rather have it on body.

I shoot one handled all the time with the small lenses, on body control makes more sense.  You've got the exposure triangle all on your fingertips with the G9.  The control options you have is quite extensive, and some of the items I think are somewhat unique, like AF in MF mode, AE/AF toggle both?  Pretty darn awesome when you're into video.
