I am surprised there are any cameras in the local stores.  Market has dried up so much. Not sure there will be many releases in this category.

My guess is Canon has killed the entire Powershot P&S lineup. They haven't reported sales numbers for Powershot for a few quarters now.

Me think too. So sad.
Pana and Nik just announce that they will drop their compact camera section. May Canon too .

What does the g9x offer that any modern day alternatives don't have? I think you've got phones with great cameras and also the Sony zv1?

Not to mention Ricoh GR iii. I Love Canon but really g9x ii doesn't look like anything you're missing out at the moment.

Price is one possible reason, it simply costs less than the others.

Phone? I don't think so. After 6-8 hours wandering into the nature park or butterfly valley, most phone bringers will ask the g9x'eraround why their phone does not get any good picture. Why that herd of red bull not differ from ants or those butterflies are just the smear of something.

Either GR iii or phone has each own strength and weakness. G9x too. Nothing 100% perfect. The 90% is more than good. Flash, wide-to-tele optical zoom, size, just to name a few.
