Were the G9's video features there in the initial firmware?

I think that Andrew is on the right path; There were video features added to the G9 in later firmware that improved its video capabilities. I think with the ORIGINAL firmware of the G9, there was a more significant difference in video functionality between the GH5 and the G9.

I think the G9 with current firmware IS a pretty competent video camera. The GH5 (and even more so, the GH5 II) do have more complete video features (like All-I recording, plus several others... just not sure what the G9 still lacks).

As an aside, I still keep thinking about getting an m43 video camera (I have an Olympus E-M1 II which is pretty capable in its own right). Maybe something like an E-M1 III just so I can record ProRes RAW out (which I believe the E-M1 III can do). Although with the ridiculously low cost of the full-frame Panasonic S5 (you can get a bundle sale of the S5 plus the 20-60mm kit lens for $1,800 during the frequent sales for the package), it is kind of hard to justify spending the same amount on an m43 bundle.
