The G9 is a fabulous camera. It is larger than my GX8 and my GX85 but it is so ergonomically superior and still has small lenses that it is the camera that I always grab first. It is the most intelligently designed camera that I have ever seen. It seems that every button is where it is most useful, the menu is excellent and has the MY MENU function which means when this feature is combined with the quick menu, I never have to sort through the menu. The viewfinder is excellent and the IQ and the focus are excellent. You must look at this camera.

Thanks. I've read a fair bit about the G9 and it sounds like a fabulous camera, except for one of my primary requirements of staying on the compact side since I'll probably take it when I travel.  It's about the same size as a Nikon D5600 and is significantly heavier. When saddled up with a similar lens, the G9 is also 3x more expensive than the used G85/12-60mm rigs I'm seeing. It's definitely on a different level than what I was thinking. Consider, that I do not have a FF mirrorless rig, so not sure that's the direction I'd want to go. Without actually using it extensively, I just can't tell if it would fit the bill. I guess I could rent one.
