Could it be you mean the G9X? The G9 is a 2007 camera with a 1/1.7" sensor like its current successor the G16.

Great thread! Important clarification here.

I'm a sony A7 owner and recently went to purchase a G9x as a pocket camera option. The store had a lightly used S110 for $120, which I could not pass up, despite the smaller sensor. After a few weeks with it, my observations:

  • I'm using it more than expected due to the convenient size
  • Being outdoorsy, it's liberating to have an inexpensive camera I don't worry about. I can take it paddleboarding or mountain biking!
  • Not dealing with raw and uploading straight from the camera>phone>flickr is awesome.
  • Dynamic range is disappointing compared to larger sensor cameras I've owned.
  • Image quality appears disappointing on the camera's LCD, but actually looks pretty good once off the camera.
