Japan G99 body is about $1050-1100

In another thread someone lamented that there was no smaller version of the G9. The G95/G90/G91 is smaller/lighter and doesn't seem to give up too much. I see that at Amazon the G9 is $997.99 and the G95 + 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 is also $997.99.

G99 (Japan name) costs more like $1050-1100 for the body only.

I don't recall seeing any posts here from anyone using the G95/G90/G91. Just from a quick look at specs compared to the very nice G9 and fast perusal of the review here it isn't clear why no one likes it. Looks like a winner at a good price. Certainly, for people who want the largest size then the G9 is the one to get and the price is very attractive too, but the G95/G90/G91 also looks quite good and is smaller/lighter.

Next time I am in Yodobashi or Bic Camera I will pick it up and take a look at it. I haven't once looked at it. Not sure why. I don't need anything, but with Olympus possibly being gone and it not being clear how much more development Panasonic will do on m4/3 then the existing bodies to use with our lenses may be what we have to choose from. Fortunately, there are lots of good ones.

Unfortunately, it is part of the typical Panasonic clown show as far as naming. Anyone else tired of many names for the same camera? My GX7II is logically named here in Japan as is the GX7III since it is clear they are successors to the GX7. GX85, GX80, GX9, GX8, etc. confuses everyone and you feel the need to specify several names in a thread so people know what you are talking about. Same thing for my TX1 (ZS100, TZ100, etc.).

I just discovered that in Japan the name is G99. Elsewhere it is G95 or G90 or G91 or ??? Total clown show.
