Get me back taking photos!

... interesting you should say that as I do sometimes wonder if I made the right choice between the two. BTW I thought the GX80 was slightly heavier (?) https://www.apotelyt.com/abc-i3/panasonic-gx80-vs-panasonic-gx9-front-a.jpg

And @woof woof you have the little plastic fantastic pana 45-150mm don't you? What a beauty that is. The OP wants some reach, that's 90-300 equiv. @Astraeus :)

Yes, I have that lens and it's such an improvement over the original 45-200mm which I just couldn't get a sharp picture out of. The 45-150mm on my GX80 at the moment.
 
Just to update, I took my dSLR and 18-70mm Tamron on a sailing trip off the Clyde coast: Mull, Gigha, Jura, Arran and Ballycastle, N.I. Needless to say, I really enjoyed using the dSLR and having all the freedom and flexibility that it afforded me.

It was great and I only felt that I needed a slightly longer lens to achieve all that I wanted to (a few dolphin and other wildlife shots). I'm now looking for a Tamron 70-300mm USD to give me that bit of extra range when I feel I need it but the D7000 and the 18-70mm worked for my landscapes, my snapshots and my 'urban' landscape photography.

For now, thankfully, the cost of a new camera is on hold and I'm going to give it another push with the dSLR and an additional lens.

Thank you for all the views, insights and recommendations. I've bookmarked this thread because, if I need to revisit this subject, it's a trove of useful information and guidance for me.
