Agreed, the g9x looks to be the true replacement for the s series. I haven't compared sizes yet, but I'll trade some light for a more pocketable body!

Me as well. Still getting f2 wide.

Won't be great for portrait bokeh, but neither was the s120.

Rumored size of g9x
98 x 58 x 31mm 209g (battery?)

S120
100 x 59 x 29 mm 217g (w/battery)

Yup! I see that it's 28mm equiv, which is ok for me. I strongly prefer that to the 24mm of all the recent cameras because those just feel a bit too wide. For anyone that wants brighter or wider, there's the G5X and G7X.

I'm quiet excited, because what I really wanted for my S90 was the same size, and significantly better low light / noise performance, something I didn't feel that I got when I briefly had the S120. The G7X solved only one of those problems and created another one, not being able to comfortably pocket it really takes the usefulness out imo. Anyway, this G9X solves both those problems. Now just to see how pricing is.

It all depends on how it is priced.  I actually prefer f2.0 @ 28mm.
