Re: Anyone moved from M4/3 to Fujifilm X series?

I know the OP has made their decision and I'd just be echoing the same comments.  However this are my anecdotal notes as I own both a G9 and X-S10.

The G9 is honestly a great camera with the latest firmware.  I personally use mine for fast action and wildlife.  Like everyone notes, the body is quite large for an M4/3.  For telephoto work, you can't beat the affordability and compact nature.  I get great results when shooting youth sports despite all the CDAF and DFD detractors.

However the X-S10 is a great size for street photography, portraits and travel.  I find that this a better general use camera IMO.  It's small and discreet, especially when paired with the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 (I love this lens!).  This is the camera I grab when running about with the family since it packs neatly with 2 lenses in a 3L sling.

GAS is real and I understand the OP.  I rented an O-M1 for a week to test against the G9.  I'll pass on the O-M1 but have been looking very closely at the X-H2S though!
