Some of think the G9 is the correct size, not too large!

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.

I am mainly shooting wildlife. So I am usually using the Panasonic/Leica 100-400 or the Olympus 300 f/4 with a 1.4X teleconverter. The G9 is IMO just the correct size for such a rig.
I also should landscapes and other shots with smaller lenses, and I find the G9 comfortable for that.  I have LARGE hands (hard to get gloves to fit even at XL), and I am coming from shooting with Canon APS-C cameras (EOS 7D ii) for years. I also shoot with a SONY RX 10 iv which is lot larger than the G9.
Two of the main reasons I chose the G9 over the Oly OM-1mk ii were the larger size of the G9 and better EVF.
So improve the G9 by all means, but don't make it smaller!!!  (At least not for me.)
