Re: G9X is great for travel a must have compact

I had owned the S90 which is G9x sized and the G7x mkI side by side for a time. Without a doubt, while the G7x was pretty small, the S90 just was that much thinner and lighter making for a better pocket feel.

For me, the G9x like the S90-S120 have really only one attractive feature -the fast aperture lens at the wide end. Admittedly that is where a lot of my shots are done. Those that I did zoom in however could have benefited from a faster lens like the G15/G16. If only they put that lens onto the S90...

Thus, the G7x faster lens is an asset worth packing some extra weight and thickness. The additional controls and flip out screen make for a better overall experience for me.
