Verdictwhich should you buy?
X-Pro2 — Street, Documentary & Travel Photography: The X-Pro series at its most balanced — 24MP X-Trans III, weather sealing, and a refined hybrid viewfinder that made it a street photography benchmark.
G9 — Wildlife, Sports, Travel: The G9 showed that Micro Four Thirds could compete for fast-action stills.
