I have a Panasonic G9 and 3 Panasonic-Leica lenses: 12-60, 50-200 and 45mm Macro.
I enjoy using it and I have been quite impressed with the images, although there is a bit of noise at about ISO 1600 and above. I'm aware of the limitations of M4/3.
I just found out about DXOMark. The sibling camera of G9, the GH5, has a sensor that does not do exceptionally well. Similarly all the Panasonic-Leica lenses that have been tested don't do very well.
It makes me wonder if I could have done better for the price.
I see, for example, the Sony A7 III sensor does a lot better, although the Sony 100-400 lens doesn't do a lot better than the Panasonic-Leica lenses, and I would need a telephoto zoom such as the 200-600 (not tested). Plus, the A7 III is a lot more expensive, let alone the A7 IV.
I'm a photography hobbyist. I could sell everything to get something for about the same price if it's worth it. I would be buying second hand if I did so. I have been thinking about going APS-C or full frame but I'm not 100% sure.
Any thoughts?
