I think there's a $500+ difference between them. You might want to throw the Em1ii into the mix as the video features are identical to the markiii and its priced about the same as the G9. With the G9 you're getting a much larger and higher res evf than the olys and 2 uhs-ii card slots vs just 1 uhs-ii and 1 uhs 1 slot with the olys. Oly claims better ibis but they're both so good you'd be hard pressed to see the difference. Panny DFD works pretty well for CAF but the Oly will serve you better if you're planning to shoot video that way. I mostly use manual focus with peaking when I shoot with my G9.

In my experience, video C-AF in the G9 with the 12-100/4.0 is unexpectedly very good - at least in the 4K60p I normally shoot - very little hunting or the 3-step polka.
