I appreciate your reply Bazza but i think you may have misread my posts. Im a stills guys and i shoot landscapes, long exposure and perched birds/wildlife. I was looking for a new body for stills only, i do not shoot video at all. After thinking on it all day today i have decided im going to get...

Actually been watching videos on the Sony A7 II this evening and it looks pretty tempting but ultimately i think im going to get another Olympus E-M1 mkII(y)

Im not saying i believe him, i know how good Panasionic lenses are and thats just his 2 cents for whatever its worth mate, i only asked about the body because thats all i was interested in, not the lenses. The best lens i ever had was the first gen Panasonic Leica 100-400mm and it was...

Budget is my main factor which was why i was looking at used G9 or EM1 mkii so the G9 II is out of the question at least for the foreseeable (y)

I actually reached out to a photographer in South Africa called Robbie Aspelling who has been ambassador for both Panasonic and Olympus and i just noticed i have a reply. Here is what he says and really puts my question to bed lol so thanks to you all for input i appreciate it so much and i hope...

Yeah this is what i gathered from reviews as well that they made the G9 more oriented toward stills which aslo contributed to my curiosity about getting one. Its a tough choice, try something new or stick with what you know. Im not a video shooter nor do i shoot birds in flight or fast moving...

Thanks very much. Thats what ive always thought too, Lumix for video and Olympus for photos but seeing my brothers photo results with the G9 made me really question if its worth trying a new eco system or is it a case of better the devil you know :thinking:

Thank you. The main thing is budget, that aside i enjoy the eco system too.

Budget is my main factor. I have been happy in the past with the E-M1 mkii and to be honest i think i would also be happy with the G9 as there isnt that much between them so was looking for G9 users input too.

Its THEE factor lol (y)

Im not sure i do want to change to be honest but as i will be starting from scratch again with no gear at all just now i guess it was just to try something different and i like the fact i can use focus bracketing with non pro lenses on the G9. I was curious if getting a G9 would be considered a...

Brilliant, i didnt realise they were so similar thanks for that. I will give that video a watch!

Thanks for the reply. I seen that video on youtube as ive been watching loads but its compairing the E-M1 mk 3 against the G9 and i had the mk 2 (y)

Hi all, i still new to the forum but have been away from photography for a while and i was not sure whether to post this in the Olympus or another section as im mentioning two brands. I took up photography last December and loved it but i got super frustrated recently and done the unthinkable...

Thanks Kerry, yeah i first thought maybe some sub genre of street but i think urban landscape sounds like it could be a good shout :giggle: (y)
