"Also the FF camera can always get the DOF of the m43 camera. You just stop down 2 more stops. Photography 101" Yes ... and thereby loose whatever light-gathering advantage FF has!

not an easy one to answer.  But having owned virtually every m4/3 camera (G9 is my fav) and also owned eight FF cameras (D750, Z5, RX1, A7Rii & iii, R6, S5, S1r)  - i would say, just buy a used ...

215g vs 300g

to be clear, the lumix one.  I have both, and while the "Leica" is nice, I'm not sure it would be worth the extra heft and $

what makes the 56 outstanding is it is 90% as sharp and fast as the exotics from O&P.  And at half the price and 70% the size/weight All of the P&O f1.7/1.8 primes are sharp, small and affordable! ...

another reason is so many fine lenses like sigma 56f1.4 (suggest you avoid most Oly non-pro zoom lenses)

z50 seems like a great cam.  But IBIS alone is reason to try g9.

Agreed! (i had Z5 w/ 24-200) And the original Tam 28-75f2.8 is why i gave the 7Rii a try.  Great sensor, but sony just doesn't "sing my tune" like Lumix.  As I keep saying, thank God for Sigma DG DN!

furthermore, the 9 firmware was recently upgraded to the latest and greatest Lumix face & animal recognition algorithms

the g9 weighs 100g more than g95.  +$300 But it is waaaay better in quality & performance in every aspect!  (takes things to a whole 'nother level) This is no hit on the 95.  I owned the 85 which ...

congrats.  My ode to the G9; "to know you is to love you!" Unfortunately mine doesn't get much use, now that i have 2 FF "G9s"

the f2.8macro

Yes, it will work with the Sig 105Art

for goodness sake katy, you'd wait forever for a lumix one, and while it would do great video CAF, it would be big and pricey (&back-ordered)-; The sigma is probably the sharpest lens you can buy ...

"It's also quite a big jump in weight + price for 1 stop of light, so have you considered the f4 too?" It always is, no? An exception is the new mirrorless lenses from Tamron, and Sigma.  Size is ...

S5 was my "entry drug".  I recently bought the S1R.  I traded a 'new' R6 kit for it (mint/used) at Adorama

"I recently purchased an S5. I really like the camera, and since I don't plan on using it for photographing action I'm not concerned about the focus issues that bother some people." Congrats NFE! ...

VERY nice, thanx 4 sharing

Agreed.  Parallels the performance of the m4/3 56f1.4 = the best of those (excellent) threesome

I'm not holding my breath.  Panasonic is very bad at supplying lenses to us (backlog!).  Thank God for Sigma.  Lets hope they don't give up on L-mount.  - i suppose that as long as they are making ...
