I am not sure a III will ever come. The S series/small sensor line is pretty much dead. Hey, I bought and loved them too but that time has come and gone. I bought a G9X II because of the size. It is smaller than the Sony RX100 line and that made me want one. I hate cell phone cameras.

My big issue with the G9X II is I can't stand touchscreens. You almost always have to use it on the II. If they made a III with slight image quality improvement AND they kept it small I'm in if they add a rear command dial OR what Fuji calls a focus stick. It simplies allows you to navigate menus better.

Yes, I knew about the touchscreen going in and thought I could learn to live with it but I can't stand it.

I think it should be emphasised the touch screen implementation on these Canons is one of the best and there is nothing wrong with the screen.

I wouldn't want anyone thinking there is actually a problem with using the G9X which is perfectly OK unless you dislike touch screens per se.

I expect a smartphone only era is not really something you are looking forward to.
