If you're reading this, you might be like me. magical. = One that looks like "Do-AP-C". Okay, stop looking because this main-lens camera, the G9, comes the closest to that elusive goal. G9 image quality, using a good lens gives the best IQ found in a 4/3 family. So if you are mainly concerned with the IQ and can handle a selfie screen and a bit bulky body then this is your final destination as this camera performs well and offers the best 4/3 IQ. You need good glass because it is necessary for good photos regardless of the camera. Take 14, 45 and 12-40. maintain and save a lot of money. 14 as a treat, 45 as a utility, and 12-40 as a main. Of course you can get a longer tele if you need to, but if you do it now these 3 cover all the bases and more. As 4/3 technology evolves, get these lenses too and you'll always be ready. Keep lens, change camera.
