I owned film cameras, Olympus OM-1 and later a Minolta XD-11, back in the 70s and 80s. I went point and shoot for a while and then got into mirrorless with micro-four thirds (MFT). These days my main cameras are a Panasonic G9 and a G9II and a large portion of the lenses (the 50-200 is my main lens) in the system. I have a G5 for video, and have a Pen-F (which I plan to sell). I have a travel kit built around the Panasonic GM1 (O 9-18, P 12-32, P 45-175, P 20), all of which fit in a Cosyspeed bag.
I love the GM1 and wish Panasonic would update it with 5 axis IBIS etc. The S9 is basically that, except with L mount rather than MFT. B&H had a great deal on the S9 + 28-200mm so I decided to take the plunge. I'm hoping I can replace my travel kit and perhaps use the S9 as a second body to augment the G9.
