As I drift towards ease of use, I received this as-new yesterday:

Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 with Carl Zeiss Jena Flektagon

Bought mainly for my legacy lenses.

Pros:

IBIS, assisted manual focus, excellent OLED 120 fps EVF, Fully articulated LCD, top LCD w/ backlight, 5184x3888px images about the same as my DP2 when downsized 50%.

Con:

No flash - not that I use flash much - must dig out the Metz.

Plan being to use it for all general purposes and to keep just the SD15 configured for FS/IR.

Me too Ted, just got a Fujifilm X100V for roughly the same reasons. But it has leaf shutter with a small fill flash for HSS up to 1\2000th sec, a decent 35mm equivalent F2 lens with built in ND filter plus all the usual auto and manual focus options all in a small, light water resistant body that can do 4K video. But the SDQH will be around for a while yet.
