G5 X looks cool. Finally a Powershot with builtin EVF. Apparantly same lens as G7 X, would have preferred a bit more reach, like G1 X.  Weather sealed?

Will probably have to wait a year or so for the likely astronomical launch price to come down to a realistic level.

Don't see the point of the G9 X though, next to the G7 X.

You need to compare it to the correct camera. It's the same size and weight as the Canon S120, but with a larger sensor. So they really just renamed the S line and improved it's lower light/noise.. sounds good to me!

If that's genuine I am excited to see an EVF and an articulated screen on the g5x. I am less excited about it's lens. It's too short and if it's the exact same lens as the g7x it will have the same soft close-ups at wide apertures.

It will be interesting to see what they are priced at. Unless the g9x is cheap I can't see them selling many.

It should take whatever spot the S120 is at now, as it's the closest in size.
