I've been through owning the S90/S95/S100 and more recently the S120. All great camera's (though S120 was not a major upgrade). I've waited a few years for the S130 ?? Now I'm looking at a huge variety of Powershot class cameras but not sure which is the true successor in the line.

My main desire is dynamic range and RAW. Similar size is a must as well (I have a DSLR for other images).

So what is the successor to the S120?

... I think the closest is the G7X.

Focal length wise yes: 24-100mm equiv vs S120 24-120mm equiv

Size/ weight wise G9 X

See HEREDPR's side-by-comparison

Keep in mind G9x still has 12Mpixel at 110mm.

Yes I'm well aware -- feature nothing new for Powershots. IQ wise, better to shot RAW, PP and do your "cropping" of image.

Yes, it is just to stress that G9x does not loose that much oh flexibility compare to S120.

Seriously doubt anyone was. For myself G9 X's lack of 24mm equiv more an issue than the shorter optical tele focal length. At this time if my S110 died I'd get the G9 X as a replacement at its the closest as to size/ weight of the S110.
