this has morphed into a SIZE debate.

My 2 cents:

there is no denying the hi correlation between size and ergonomics!

I too value size as nearly #1 priority.  (Yet i cannot deny the allure of G9 ERGO's)

What i find interesting are the small-yet-capable cameras.  I've had both GM1 & RX1

The GM1 had a "fatal" glitchy control wheel.  I should have bought the GM5!  Also (4me) an EVF is not optional!

Question:  "how small can we make a GOOD camera?"

For instance the G100:

They appear to have installed very good EVF and screen.  But IBIS?!  Is it physically impossible to include, OR is it just too expensive to include in those sm dimensions?

As an allegory;  Bikes.  There is a geometric increase in price as you reduce weight.

A $700 road bicycle weighs about 21lb.

For $1500 you can drop that to, say, 18 lb

$3000 will get you down to 16.5 maybe

$10,000 = sub 15lb
