G9 vs G6

Panasonic needs to put the Guts of a G9 into the body of a G6, which in my opinion is one of the best DSLR bodies they've made. Very streamlined. A weather sealed fully loaded version would be nice, not to mention it's smaller than a G9.

I never cared for the looks of the G6.  It was that water-molded-bar-of-soap design.  But that's just personal aesthetic taste.

I don't know whether most of the guts of the G9 could be put into that size body.  Perhaps 4K heat requires something bigger.  But I do know that the ergonomics wouldn't be nearly as good. The backs of the cameras I think demonstrate that.

The G9 is simply the best fit in my hand of any camera I've held, with the best control layout.  Not every hand is the same, of course.  I like my smaller cameras, GX8, GX7, GM5, but they are increasingly compromised in terms of ergonomics as you go smaller down the line.

The G9 is juuuuuuuust right!
