Panasonic Lumix G9
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- How is getting a G9 for that price even remotely feasable, even on outlet?
- Lumix G9 (small, seems ideal, but not sure how M43 copes in low light - probably no worse than a 1982 SLR, though?)
- For hiking definitely the G9. The canon weighs almost a kilo (950g) body alone the G9 is a 658g.
- I have the G9 and love it. ... It felt perfect. So comfortable to hold. ... It's a little chunky and not the lightest, but it's well-loved for a reason. It was also a third of the price of the OM5 used, and as it's Micro Four Thirds, the...
- Parent context: Do you rate the G9 or is the Canon a better buy? Reply: G9 is better buy. It has better AF and IBIS.
Cons
- I don't know if canon resolved it for the G10, but the G7 and G9 had an issue where a couple of internal screws would work loose over time and then drop out of their holes and short out an internal board.
- I’m struggling with AF and generally not having enough light for my Lumix.
- Your G9 is not OLED if I’m not wrong
- I've reentered with a Lumix G9 and a M.Zuiko digital ED 60mm 2.8 Macro.

The G9 is still pretty capable and will outperform the OM-5 when it comes to video as it can shoot 4k in 60p and has a headphone port.
You might want to consider something like the G9, it's just slightly bigger but it's got more video features.

Something like the g9 is more than capable and extremely portable.
you should be able to get a G9 for a similar price on MPB or WEX, that would be a significant improvement, also definitely heavier.
