Those of us that have been using the G9 for a while know only too well that you can get results from that camera to please the fussiest of photographers. OK, if they improve on it in the future then fine but the answer has been in the dealers for a while, try one and be surprised.

It’s stupidly large. Larger than my Z7. Panasonic has always made some really excellently featured cameras and the G line started out blessedly compact. I loved my G1 and GH2. Now the G line is monstrous in size and is of zero interest for those of us who moved to m43 for size.

Olympus provided more fully featured cameras in more compact packages after Panasonic decided to overdose the G series on growth hormone. The G series has had some smoking price deals but I abandoned the line at any price when it got so big.

Panasonic hasn’t made an “enthusiast” compact m43 body in ages. Despite leading with the G1, GF1, GX1 and GM1 each following model followed one of two paths - it either got bigger and bigger or dumber and dumber.

Stupidly Large!!!!

What sized hands have you got? my hands are average man sized hands and the G9 is just so comfortable , I have never owned the Oly 4/3rds cameras because they have always felt far too small in my hands, I have been into photography for 50 years when the FF cameras really did stretch your fingers open wide. so, for anyone that hasn`t tried the G9, pick one up and try it, you`ll find it very comfortable in your hands and the IQ and features are just so worth carrying the few extra grams. My wife does find the G9 a bit large so I gave her my old G7 and she loves it.

You can lead a horse to water but you can`t make it drink:-)

I feel so much better now that I've given up Hope
