G9X got me excited. 200 gram and a fast F2 lens.

Canon get it right. If you are going to convince the smartphone crowd to buy a dedicated camera. 200 gram is the right size

This is probably the lightest serious camera ever! (even Panasonic LX5 weigh 275 gram). I don't understand why in camera forum always prefer so called serious camera which is uaually heavy and bulky

Actually this is precisely why camera sales is seriously down. Not just serious camera but also those so called serious lens. For example Olympus 12-40mm F 2.8 400 gram , add a 400-500 gram body. A total of 800-900 gram for a MFT camera and only F2.8 lens !!!!!

The world need light, reasonably priced, large sensor,fast lens, small camera. Small and high IQ is the real future of camera. Those heavy as a brick so called serious camera has no future. Very few people would buy it and even if bought very few would use it

Whenever I take my TG-2, NEX-5N, GM1 to holiday, the one that take the most picture and got the most interesting picture is TG-2. Why? small, light and quick. Got the picture is more important than worrying about absolute IQ

Canon is smart. I hope G9X success would point the camera companies in future direction
