Haven't tried the other two yet, but they don't interest me. I will probably next get a video camera instead of the G9. The G7 being so good is why I have never wanted to upgrade. The wife has a GX85 which has that better quality sharpness, but the G7 is so good ergonomically that we are going to keep the G7 and a GM5 and sell the newest bestest GX85.

Color doesn't seem to be mentioned much around here. For me there was a problem with Panasonics colors until the G7 came out. I am sure it has improved since, but the G7 fixed the main issues with color that the GH4 and GM5 have. Mainly reds and greens.

Agree with this, but for me it was the .JPG blues that were terrible.

This was on a Panasonic pocket camera that I carried in South America quite a few years ago.

My Panasonic GM5 doesn't have the best colours either, but they can be tweaked in Photoshop.

My old Olympus E-P3 had great colours.

It's strange that people spend so much time pixel-peeping in the corners at 100% without sparing a thought for the way a camera renders the colours in an image. The latter is much more important for how a photo looks.

The G7 is ultra light

Interesting because I'm a G9 user, raw only. I am just experimenting with jpeg only because i've concluded that that Panasonic jpeg colours are so good that I'm finding it difficult to replicate them during raw processing.

You need Silkypix. The colours are as close as identical to the in camera settings as I can tell, when converting your raw fies.
