Price notwithstanding, my prediction is that early adopters will be very pleased with the shooting performance and subsequent image quality of the G9. I think its going to be a big hit.

A comparison:

G85 vs G9

That's a good comparison list. In addition, though the G85's ergonomics are pretty good, I think Panasonic has nailed it with the G9. The space on the right edge of the back side should eliminate any inadvertent button presses, and the domed function buttons have a great feel. It felt great in my hand when I played with it. The comparison also omits the full metal shell of the G9, which adds to the cost and weight.

My last camera purchase was the GX8, which came out before some significant Panasonic developments, including 5-axis IBIS, no AA filter, and SS-proof shutters (G85/GX85 and later the different 1/8000 approach in the GH5). I'm looking forward to gaining those features, while still retaining the GX8's sensor, plus all the other G9 upgrades.
