What do you think of the Lumix G9 II? (slrpnk.net)

I am considering to get a G9ii because I have read a lot of good reviews about it. However, I find it quite bulky. Do you think it is worth it? The main reason I use MFT is actually because of being lightweight gear.

It'a a great camera but it felt too bulky to me, especially for M43 and I didn't need the advanced video features, so I went with the OM-1 II instead. I also liked the OM-5 II and almost went with that. What do you shoot, if you don't need anymore than what the OM-5 II provides, that is a great size.

I have an OM-5 and I love it. I have been considering to move to Lumix because of the live LUTs, which would be really useful. The g9ii is too big, though. I hope they release a smaller body for MFT. I don't consider the L10 as an option - I want to use my lenses.

I'd stick with the OM-5 and wait to see what the rest of 2026/early 2027 brings, I imagine we might see a new small camera from OM or Panasonic. If not, have you considered the OM-3?

[–] cirrokumulus@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

I guess I will do that. I like the specs of the OM-3 but not the lack of a minimum grip.
