look to the backscatter review on the G9, and the other UW specialty stores. My recollection is that the G9 iterated on the strongest features of the GH5, and if I didn't have a GH4 not quite dead in the water, I'd be more likely to pick the 9.

However, you may be in the same boat where it's not a big enough upgrade to make sense. I've been going 6-7 years between generations. I'll be migrating to the R5 later this year- whenever the water opens back up to me.

Reviews on this camera are pretty thin on the ground my friend. My particular interest lies with the White Balance. I don't know about the GH4 but the GH5 supposedly has a superior white balance that precludes the need for FILTERS, ie Red Magic filters etc....on underwater diving.  I am hoping that the G9 has that facility also. I have seen some amazing footage with the GH4 by the way. If you're more stills than video oriented, I would say go for the G9.
