I don't think I will ever buy the G9X I,II, and III if it ever comes. Unless they can supply a lens that is 24 X 120 that is on the S100, S110, S120. Those were/are IMHO the ultimate pocket cameras. I still have, and use, the S110. I did have a S120 early on, but it had problems on focusing so I sent it back. I understand Canon did fix that but the S110 was good enough.

These were 1/1.7" sensor zoom cameras and that boat has sailed and is long gone never to return.

Of course that's true. But for the many 10000s of S100, S110, and S120s still out there, they manage to satisfy their owner's snapshot/photo needs. Not everybody buys the latest & greatest new gadgets when what they have does the job.

I suppose it is just a case of treasure it and enjoy it while you can. The 1" sensor has been a very mixed blessing in my view.

I have a Casio ZR5100 which I grabbed quickly while I could as that was the last of the 1/1.7" cameras. The better performance in low light from the current pixel stuffed 1/2.3" sensors is noticeable.
