Panasonic lumix gh5s vs olympus pen e pl9?

The GH5S is the video body. It's a low-light machine with 10.2 megapixels and no in-body stabilisation, so you'll want stabilised lenses for slow shutter speeds. The E-PL9 is the easier everyday camera: 16.1 megapixels, stabilisation in the body, a flip-down selfie screen and 4K video. If you mostly shoot stills, travel or selfies, I'd pick the E-PL9. If your work is low-light video, the GH5S is the one to look at.

Both use Micro Four Thirds, so the same lenses fit either. For a versatile kit on the E-PL9, the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO covers a lot of ground. The Panasonic Leica DG 12-35mm f/2.8 is a smaller, brighter standard zoom. For the full spec list, see the E-PL9 page.
