What do you think of the Lumix G9 II? (slrpnk.net)

I am considering to get a G9ii because I have read a lot of good reviews about it. However, I find it quite bulky. Do you think it is worth it? The main reason I use MFT is actually because of being lightweight gear.

It’s not a gx9ii, which annoys me an unreasonable amount. I have, and love, a gx9, but having played with a g9ii, I decided to get a Fuji X-T5 instead. The g9 is a brilliant camera, but I really don’t get why it’s so big! If they’d made a gx9 follow-up in the same body style, but with a better senator and phase detect, and possibly some easy-access JPEG recipes, I reckon it would have taken some of the x100v’s pocket money when they were unavailable. Small camera with small lenses, that would have been a better bet to me

    GX9 follow-up would be great to have! How do you feel about the X-T5? Is it worth it when the sensor is just a little bigger?

    It wasn’t the sensor size that made me get it, I was happy with the IQ of the QX9. The hands-on controls of the X-T5 are amazing, the extra megapixels can come in handy (and the IQ is a step up, it’s pretty insane), but in a large way it was the film sims. I hate editing, so having the ability to change between film sims at ease is fantastic, and I really rarely take an image and think “damn, that needs editing to get it to look like what I was after”. It’s a phenomenal camera for what I want, the EVF is good, the screen is versatile and bright, and I love the feel and layout.
