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.

Lol lol lol. Bit of a reality check required. Here's my G9 beside my Galaxy note. And no one gives a second thought about carrying a phone around. OH. MY. GOD. LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THE THING. Not. The camera simply fits the size of a normal human beings hand/s.

You are absolutely right! And in fact the G9 is even a little smaller than A6 paper (105mm x 148mm)!

G9 -- A6 paper

The phone can go into a pocket... therin lies the success of (even big) phone cameras.

Nothing bigger than a Sony RX100 stands a chance against the portability of a phone.
