Is the Lumix G9 a great Micro 4/3 value? I think so.

I believe it is a great value if you can live with Panasonics lackluster contrast detect autofocus. This camera is weather sealed as are many available lenses.  Since a major firmware update, it has excellent video capabilities.  It has a wonderful viewfinder that works exceptionally well with manual focus lenses.  The image stabilization is first rate and the 20 megapixel sensor does the job.  Here are links to a couple of comprehensive reviews:
