The next line is Editing always plays a factor, but when I compare my S5IIX to my ZR, ZF, or Z6III... hands down nikon looks better. so they swapped from another full-frame camera, nothing to do with m43. Just happened to be Panasonic.

If Panasonic finally decides to release small body (GX9 or G90 successor) with PDAF and Real Time LUT that would suit your needs just perfect.
