Well, the G9 just arrived, and while my bank account is whimpering a bit, all I can say is WOW.

I've only had a few brief moments with it before the battery died, but I don't think I've been this impressed with a camera, period. Even my D7200 didn't make me this excited as the G9 has now.

The overall fit and finish is superb, the feeling of the buttons is just right, not too tactile, but not too soft. It's larger than my G7 but still smaller than my D7200, (I'll probably get the matching grip as well, which will still be smaller than my Nikon with it's grip). And the EVF...Oh my! What a joy!

The G7 was my first mirrorless camera, and while I liked it, I was underwhelmed by the EVF, it's resolution and lag, but the EVF on the G9...wow! It's absolutely beautiful, sharp, and fast. The AF was fast and accurate as well, and the joystick made selecting areas much better than the touch screen any day!

Overall, its awesome! Now I just have to wait for the battery to charge!

Congrats on your purchase 

which lenses do you currently have for your G9?
