G9 too big?

So when it came out, I bought the worst new camera of 2020, the G100

Both Panasonic and DPR screwed up there ....... Pan because they market the thing for a job it wasn`t suited for (V-Logging) whereas if they`d swapped the silly audio system for an IBIS unit and marketed it as a small stills camera at a lower price it`d have been received far better ........... DPR because they couldn`t seem to see past the marketing and appreciate what it does do well - a small Stills camera in a better handling format than the GX80/9

Yes, a GF9/10 body, put in a large evf and a 20Mp sensor, also a more substantial hand grip at the front for better ergonomic than the soap like flap top RF form factor GX85/9... BTE, still an entry class GF has minimal physical buttons, not to mention the limit on 4K... also still not on the latest train of IBIS at a premium price (currently cost more than a GX9 or G85 in gray market!).

I`m sure they could have put in the GX9 shutter as well instead of wasting the money on that sound system no one seems to appreciate . the few people I know who have one (OK TWO people) like it as a small G form factor stills camera and wouldn`t likely care if it didn`t shoot video at all ----------- I never even tried the Video capability of any of my Panasonics (apart from 4K / 6K photo modes ) since the GH1 10 years ago with the hacked firmware .
