Yeah. Fair. And I'm actually to the point where I'm like, "Do I even want the extra DR"? The modern look of digital imaging seems almost too pristine to me anymore. So I guess my reticence is actually morphing into a stylistic choice; which is a place I never thought I'd be using consumer gear, honestly. After all, "more is more" right? Maybe it's just chalking things up to being a stick in the mud because of my age. However, when I watch old movies, see what they did, and how they did it, I'm always left thinking, "Well, I have more imaging power than they had. What am I really chasing with this modern camera in my bag?" -
Not the GH5, but I am also at 'peak camera' with Lumix. If I ever made any changes in the future now...and none planned, it would not be based on need, - the gear I have just does what I need it to do. There's still a lens that does not exist for me and one day if it comes along, I'll pick it up, but otherwise, never really been that interested in the gear, despite waffling about it for over 2 decades. It was always a means to an end. -
Just a thought about that last statement.. if you're taking a practical approach to considering upgrades then I'd say it's the other way around.... ...you've matured TOO much for the market 😉 -
Looking at my notes when I was upgrading from the GH5 to GH7, the main benefits of the GH7 over the GH5 were: PDAF Real V-Log (not V-Log-L or light or whatever it was) (*) Prores and Prores RAW internal Improved DR (*) Improved latitude - due to having real V-Log as well as the improved DR (*) Improved low-light (*) and the cons were: Size / weight Cost (not only the body, but potentially the media and new batteries etc) Loss of modes between 1080p and UHD (3.3K 4:3 mode) The items with the (*) are the ones that motivated me to take the plunge. Obviously the size / weight / price also factored into things! My take on your situation is that if upgrading doesn't offer you tangible improvements that will be worth the (considerable) hassle of upgrading, why change? Modern cameras are improving all kinds of things that aren't needed / used in every situation (including many features that are actually incredibly niche), so if you happen to shoot in only situations where your existing kit is enough, then the upgrades are just cons/costs.

Well, I've other gear for specific jobs. For instance I have a Fuji X-T5 that came along for a special birds-in-flight thing -- that fit a special lens, but it just sits on the shelf since that gig finished. The way the IBIS works in that camera bugs the hell out of me. Anyone want to buy a used X-T5? How about a fuji 150-600mm? Got a 2x extender as well.
