Is one way to think about this that the significantly extra pixels on the G9 X mean that digitally zooming with it gives almost the same image as I would get from the LF1?
84mm equivalent at 5472 horizontal pixels versus 200mm equivalent at 4000 horizontal pixels. If you crop 5472 to 4000, you'll be at 115mm equivalent, versus 200mm on the LF1. So, yes, a lot of reduced range at the long end.
I'm interested in an LF1-type range (I'd really like 24-200) in a pocketable camera, and I'd give up both sensor size and lens speed to get it. But it looks like we're going the other way - toward larger sensors with faster lenses and narrower zoom ranges.
