Imagine getting the S5iix for low light wide to portrait (24-130) then getting an S-MFT adapter, cropping down the Sensor and shooting wildlife with the 100-400... Would this work or am I missing something in the physics?

My son has that camera, we both live it. It makes me think of specialist cameras like the wide format film beasts, there was a YT vid I saw recently that taught you how to convert a certain modern camera into a wide format beast. If love that.

I totally agree. I got in as a dad enthusiast trying to get great image quality from something not pro in price but with clever pocketable design. There's no way a sane person will hold the g9ii in their hands at the store sitting next to the S5ii and not jump ship or just put it down and look up a second hand GX series... For me the turning point was when they released the GX85/9 instead of a GX8ii... The GX8 ii was the coolest looking camera they ever made visually with great tactile buttons, grip and perhaps just a tad too large. Really pana should have kept going in the way you said except they should have also developed the phone/camera networking hub that allows you to connect an Android phone to the back of a proper camera and lens package. I have the G9i, GX9 and GX8. The G9 takes generally the best photos and video but I enjoy using the GX8 much more and the best photos I've ever taken just so happen to be taken on my GX8 so maybe the experience of shooting matters most?? I Hate the GX9, bad grip, average battery life, tiny viewfinder. The G9 is too large but it pays its way with great video and industry leading tactile controls and function buttons.
