Ok I'm racking my brains over this one, so I need your help.
Currently using Lumix G80 with 100-300mm for wildlife, also have the 12-60mm and hoping to retain this gear for other uses.
The set ups in the title are what I see as affordable (just!!) and after much research my best options.
A few of points I should mention
1. I am looking at used items not new
2. Video capability is not important to me.
3. BIF and image quality is important to me.
4. The 90D pushes the budget too high so it's not in the frame.
Generally speaking the 80D costs a little more than the G9 right now, however this is balanced by the Sigma lens being slightly cheaper, than the Leica, in both cases at similar shutter counts and condition.
My gut feeling is to carry the extra weight and go 80D, as I have a wee bit more zoom and the APSC will give me better image quality, and 24MP gives more crop ability than 20MP on the G9. Also the focus system on the 80D is good with the OVF.
But I may be missing other key aspects as I am not experienced.
I welcome all comments and hope you can all help me, wildlife has become a real passion, and I want to take it a bit further on my ,limited funds.
