I sold my D810,D600 and assorted Nikon FF lens and switched to the Panasonic G9. I use it with a 12-60mm for general use. The 2X crop factor makes this little lens equal a 24-120mm focal length on a FF system. I have a Pano 100-400mm for wildlife. It is pretty amazing to be able to shoot at a 800mm focal length hand held.
The camera is light, comfortable and super fast. It has put the fun back into photography for me. I find myself taking a camera with me a lot more often.

The 12-60 and 100-400 with the G9 make a nice kit!

Just got mine 2 weeks ago. Incredibly light and unreal fast focus. Haven't done much testing yet but it seems to work well with the Olympus lenses that I've borrowed.

I’ve had the G9 for about a month. It is fantastic! I love the GX8, but this is unbelievable. Six stops of image stabilization, virtually instant autofocus, and superb image quality.

That sounds real great.
Photography, if a hobby especially, needs to be enjoyable. So glad you are able to continue your pursuit of the hobby.
