G7 is older but not by much, its pretty much same sensor in the G85 with new processor, low light performance can improve but not by 2 full stopsSorry but I actually agree with Derrel, I had the Panasonic G7 and it low light performance was disappointing, about 400iso and I already had to struggle with grain, I was forced to use prime lens most of the time and eventually after few weeks of test and true attempt to like this system I sold it and got a Sony a6300. MFT is ok for travel but only in ideal lighting conditions, once the sun is going down or indoors and image quality is suffering.I'll have to disagree with @Derrel about Olympus M43 sensor performance. There is nothing wrong with them. They can produce excellent images. There are tons of examples out there. The M43 cameras out today have great performance and a lot of features that dslr's do not have. And Olympus has a lot of great glass. There is also tons of lenses in the M43 system. Not only that but you can adapt any aps-c or dslr lens out there to use.
I can highly recommend the EM1 mkII. Also the hi-res feature will give you quality on par with some of the best dslr's.
There are not to many M43 users on here and I find that ff users tend to look down on them even with the advancement of the sensors. There are dslr's out there with worse performance.
That's a G7. I have no issues going to 4000 iso. Once again people are looking at the older sensors. The technology has improved greatly with the new top end models for the last few years.
When I bought the G7 the reviews were pouring love on the camera comparing it to APS-C, well its not touching APS-C,
Camera performance is a complex this, its about sensor technology, sensor size, processor and lenses.
Sensor size is one factor which is not changing, its about the ability to collect light, the more light you collect the cleaner the image will be.
Its mainly about expectation of user, I had 4 APS-C cameras, one FF and one MFT and the jump from one camera to another is very noticeable to me, my standards are very high, if user is more flexible then me then MFT can be ok I guess, in any case this is my experience and I will not buy an MFT camera again for pictures, video maybe but not pictures.
