How the G90/95 should look (tried to design it).

Can be sorted in five minutes

Easy.  The G9 has a well placed joystick and also the (stupid) useless video buton (on all cameras) that I personally never use could be completely dispensed with and the video function made so that it could be assigned to any button on the camera body.  Therefore in one swoop thse that don’t do video would have another spare button that could be used and those that do video could have their video button anywhere that suited them.

But it seems that all video buttons need to be red and large presumably so that videographers can find them  Putting same right under my thumb would drive this non-video enthusiast quite insane.

Furthermore in Panasonic engineering idiocy (at least) they cannot have any function other than “do video” or “off”.

This could be sorted out in “five minutes” by an intern engineer and no need to re-design the camera body.
