I borrowed the G9 II for two weeks through Panasonic's Lumix rental program and it reset my sense of what a modern camera can do. The phase-detect autofocus got me my first bird photos, the Leica 12-60mm it came with handled low light I'd have skipped with my Canon 80D, and it fit my hand better than any body I've held. A deal on an OM-1 got my money, but the G9 II stays on my tracked list. I may switch back when prices align. Or I will just have two, competitive MFT bodies (don’t tell my wife).
- Hands-on review Panasonic Lumix LX10 review: A capable compact that made me reconsider what I knew about cameras
I bought the LX10 new in 2020 for around $300 and barely used what it could do.

It held my everyday slot until an older Olympus took over.
