Time flies. A few months ago I bought EM5.2 and G85 and few m43 lenses to test m43 waters. The EM5.2 immediately impressed me its build quality and customization (little over the top, but I have started loving it), even though ergonomics clearly fall short of G85. Long story short I sold G85 later.
After seeing what m43 can do as compared to other high end cameras (D500, Z6, A7R II) I put EM5.2 for sale, as I am ready to invest more in this system for better ergonomics, battery life and higher MP count and possibly better noise control but I am unsure of the latter.
While EM1X is out of my budget, I am looking at EM1.2 as next best option and also G9 (95?90?91?X9? Panasonic nomenclature baffles me). Admittedly, Panasonic bodies seem to have an edge over Olympus with regards to handling but I do like Oly's stupidly effective weather sealing. Oh and godly IBIS too-if I have to guess it is 1.5 stops better than Z 6 and about 2-2.5 stops better than A7R II. I am guessing EM1.2 to be even more ludicrous. Any experience with Pana's IBIS is welcome!
Are these viable upgrade options? Which one is better at AF? AF speed/accuracy has been a sore thumb in my EM5.2 experience. If EM1.2 or any of the Pana bodies can deliver about 85% AF performance of Nikon D500, I would consider selling D500 later even though that is a really high benchmark to cross IMHO. I understand this is Olympus forum, but I would still like to hear what Olympus patrons think.
Edit: Video isn't paramount to me.As long as it shoots some video, I am ok.
