Lumix G7 vs LX100 vs OM- Em10 II

Another thread from me with zero sense but it helps me make some decisions i am battling with. Lets say you have each of these cameras for identical price. Which one would you pick and why? Amateur, street, travel, mostly photos barely videos, don’t care fixed/interchangeable already have GX85 just want another camera thats all. Thank you all

A G7 would be a slight step down in image quality - the aliasing filter and lack of IBIS does make a difference. However, the ergonomics of the G7 are superior to the GX85.

So LX100 not even comparing to the other two? I can see a loooot of ppl on youtube use G7 for video(vlog) which in this case not my priority

I'd lean towards the EM10.2 simply for its built-in stabilization.

As a side note, I think the LX100 uses the same battery as the GX85 if that matters to you.

If I have GX85 already, I shall rule out G7 since it is the last to still using the last generation of hardware of Panny. Fixed sensor vs 5-axis floating sensor, non DUAL IS support, noisy m-shutter...

I shall look for the G85, which should also be under heavy discount and have everything GX85 has, but improved ergonomic, great IBIS, DUAL IS 2, longer battery life, close to full range of EFCS uptown 1/2000", 12 bits e-shutter, Cibe-like profile for video, mic-in port, more control on AF sensitivity etc improvement from GX85. Also least importance to me, a 4:3 evf of larger magnification. Its OLED display is also sunglasses friendly.

If only for a small amount of money, I shall never look back on a much older model.

I paid smaller money for a new G85 last year than what I paid for a GX85 4 years ago...

LX100 is a fixed lens compact. Totally different Class of camera and it should offer nothing more, just less, than GX85.

No comment on Olympus.
