To some extent this question has been beaten to death in this forum.  Two FACTS:

1.  Some people find the size and ergonomics of the G9 to be great;

2.  Some people find the G9 too big and/or too heavy.

There is no "answer" to the OP's question, other than a personal answer.

I will disagree, however, with those who flatly contend that it was a mistake for Panasonic or Olympus to produce bodies of this size and style.  Clearly many love the G9, including me, and Panasonic hasn't neglected those who prefer smaller size bodies, releasing the GX9 and the G95 after the G9.  OK, the G100, too. 

It's great to have choice.
