I own a G1X Mark III. It has a larger APS-C sensor, but also a slower aperture lens. Not sure wether the larger sensor would offset that limiting factor in low light situations since I’ve never used cameras with 1” sensor. Apart of that it has other advantages such as a weather resistant body.

I've heard a lot of good things about the G1X, but hesitate because of its cost and my sense that it wouldn't be pocketable. Unfortunately, no stores I know of here in Toronto carry it, as I'd love to get a feeling for how it handles before committing to such a purchase. Still, the weather resistance certainly gives it appeal.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes it wouldn't fit in a regular pocket. A larger one yes. Coat jacket. To me it handles very well, and I'm quite picky with camera ergonomics. For a reasonably pocketable camera with zoom lens, it's right up there with the G5X. But since you own a G9X, I guess the G5X ergonomics will make you feel right at home. 
You're welcome.
