Ah! - that's why you need to read more than one review and ask actual users as Trevor has here!

Robin Wong's review:

adds a different opinion to the mix too.

and it's been a very informative thread with some very diverse opinions

I watched a youtube video which liked the G9 enormously, they gave the nod to the A7RIII on ultimate IQ but the G9 won on just about everything else and it is that everything else that help you get that great shot.  And it's half the price.

There are people in this thread which seem to say the G9 is OK but isn't a great step up from the G80 especially given the cost.

There also people in this thread who seem to say that just having a G9 in the hand is probably enough to make  you realise that it is fantastic.

No wonder I am still swinging.  And incidentally Amazon don't have any in  stock at that price at the moment.
