    For years my main camera has been the Sigma SD9 - the first model with a Foveon sensor. After an accident about three years ago which left me with shaky hands and unable to stand still, the SD9 has become increasingly hard to cope with. Heavy, no live view, no IBIS, raw only, tiny LCD.

    So I've dug out the Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 with it's Vario 12-35mm ... a fine lens, I must say. Dual Power OIS helps my hands no end. I keep a Metz 20 C-2 in the hotshoe. The MF Assist and Focus Peaking are a joy to my eyes as I stubbornly stick to Manual everything.

    Family pet - hand-held: 6 ft distance, full power manual flash. EVF.

    My others are a DMC-G1 converted to "full-spectrum" by LifePixel and an LX-1 bought for it's small size and for it's unusual native 16:9 CCD sensor.
