G9 too big?

Re: G9 too big?

Nice camera, but as it happens, my E-M1mk2 fits my (size large) hand a bit better, with the extra 1/2 inch added by the RRS plate I keep on it.

I think this falls to personal preference, even those with similar sized hands can disagree on the best type/size of grip, I suppose.

Without the RRS plate, I'd say the G9 would fit me better, the E-1 was clearly too small for my handling comfort, so I had to get the plate back when the camera was still new, but once I did, it became close to perfection.

Not sure if the G9 is much heavier however, the E-M1.2 (with adapted 50mm prime) is not at all what I would call light, haha, pretty far from it!

But it is quite compact, even with the super fast prime lenses I prefer:

Over 1 (1042g) kg camera!
