Nope. The 5 is a G7X with EVF and the 9 is a s120 in different shell

The 9 is a s120 in a different shell?

Yeah, right. Different body, different lens, different sensor - but it's the same camera? That's like saying that a cherry pie is actually an apple pie, only it has different fruit in it.

Both have slow lenses. I don't see the point if a 9 x when there's the 7 x. Canon trying to do too much and largely ignoring mirrorless. The "baby m3"? Sounds like the Samsung s4 mini that landed with a dud.

What this symbolizes is Canon's entire new p&s line up. There will be no other p&s models. That market is dead. Prices got too low so that all that could be made was poor quality cameras with tiny sensors. Can't put much quality into a camera that costs $150 if all involved in a sale need to make profit.

For cameras with small sensors people are satisfied with their smart phone.
