Actually I am not joking. Whatever Canon does or "public" wants have nothing to do with what I need (most of the time).

My S100 is small and powerful. G7x is too big and heavy in comparison. I bought it because of 1" sensor that is great to have in low light underwater. It sits in my drawer waiting to go diving while S100 is always with me. I am almost sorry I bought it, except it is good to have an extra set up on dive vacations.

As you may notice my equipment is pretty old. It is that way because I do not see anypracticaladvantage in upgrading it. UPGRADES WILL NOT HELP ME TO SELL MORE PICTURES. My photographic and business skills will.

Dude, I was just responding to your absurd statement "S120 is so good that it doesn't need a successor". I don't care what do you work. I was just pointing out an obvious flaw in your logic.

Good luck selling those pictures.

correction...it does not need a successor for a good shooter.  If one cannot take a great shot with S100 (or any other camera), it is not equipment problem.

As for selling, 2015 was exceptional year (including a few from before S100).

Thanks for good luck wishes.

It has nothing to do with shot greatnes for G sake.

Look at how grass loooks in wide landscape shots. It' green mess litle further from the shooter with these small sensor powershots.

It has everything to do with shots greatness.   Isn't it what we all trying to achieve buying new equipment every other week?

We are talking here about different things I am afraid.

The " successor to S120" (which is the title of this post), meaning another tiny pocket size camera in line of S90, 95, 100, 110 and S120, and not a totally different camera like G7x.

Never ending battle. So we could not make great shots with even monochrome camera? Is the tool irrelevant then? Will not be uset happier with better tool? Not this again...

Shot can be great with poor camera. It could be better with better camera, and it only depends on who values it.

Most likely.

I was talking about G9X. If G7X is that camera you don't take with you, then it has no point to point out how better that one is. G9X is closer to S series.
