My original G9 first got a scratch on the lens from a hunk of dirt getting caught up in the scissoring closure (that was a pain, but not hard to fix via Healing) and then, while merrily shooting some time lapse photography it fell off my balcony - and went sixteen stories down = many, many pieces. I thank my lucky stars it did not kill anyone. I did buy a used one last summer in NYC - primarily for the built in time lapse, one of that camera's best features. I shoot one of those a week if not more (and with far more secure bungee cording).
Cannot really comment on the micro/4/3 movement; never owned one so no real world experience. Of course, assuming I had endless cash, I'd buy a Leica M9, as a lens interchangeable compact, but man, that is a lot of money.
Good luck!
