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

Think of the G80 but with the design above, 20 MP sensor, preferably 3,6 MP EVF with no blackouts during bursts, joystick, a bit better 4K video, GH4/G9 battery.

Speed not like the G9, but a bit faster than the G80 still. IBIS like the G80 or a bit better would be okey. And in contrast with the G7 it needs to be dust/splash proof in my opinion. Single cardslot.Etc.

Don't make reasonable requests, it's just teasing 😛 It's not as if they're listening to us, giving us, the consumers, what we want... (crickets)

OK, OK, supposedly the G9 was in response to customer feedback. Apparently *somebody* wanted a m43 body that big. I'm not sure who, exactly, maybe the consumers who "promised" to switch over to m43, from their current system, "if only..." but we'll really never know.

Conversely, they massively listened to the super loud noise this forum made on wanting a rangefinder-style body with built-in VF in the upper left corner to produce the GX7, which was the first mFT in that configuration. Turned out that those loud noises were made by Oly fanatics who wanted a Pen in that configuration, and would not get close to anything Pana. My observation was that none - zero - of those loudly asking for such a camera here actually bought a GX7. And the GX7 is said to be one of the least successful commercially when it was one year old, compared to all other system cameras that were approx. one year old at the same time.

They were taught a clear lesson by this forum, and will never ever listen to it again.

It's safe to say that the G9, at this point of its life, is massively more popular if you count forum member owners, compared to the GX7 at a similar time after release. Nobody asked for a G9 like that, and quite a few bought one
