Hi everyone,
I'm planning on switching to M43 from Pentax and was looking to see which body I should get. My top choice when researching around was the GX8... only to find that the GX9 has replaced it. The reason I was looking at the GX8 was the better EVF (apparently, I havent seen it yet),and to me more importantly, weather sealing. I've been spoilt by the pentax weather sealing to be honest. Never had to worry about my camera and sealed lens in the elements.
I've been bouncing between these three as I'm wondering also whether I need the weather sealing in the first place. I primarily shoot when I travel these days and might go hiking, take near waterfalls, these sort of things. I was hoping for something compact (why most people come to M43 too I've realised) and light that I can carry around all day with little fatigue. '
Do you guys know of anywhere thats still selling the GX8 new? Or should I just forgo the seal for the newer sensor, better shutter (apparently) in the GX9. Or stick with a few years old tech with (supposedly) slower autofocus in the EM 5 ii but has the weather seal..
Compromises for all sadly. Hoping to get your opinions. thanks in advance!
