The G9 isn't a camera I enjoy using, but that's more down to subjective issues with its handling and design rather than the feature set.

It doesn't offer the best AF system, but it's not terrible once you learn its quirks. It isn't going to offer the DR/noise/resolution of a high end full frame camera, but If you're happy with the image quality from your G7 then the newer 20mp sensor will be more than acceptable.

Outside of a couple of nice features I don't find the G9 a particularly impressive camera in 2020, but at the discounted price it isn't a bad deal.
