It just looks like these may be as good as or functionally better than the G9. I sure do not know, but I sure would like to know.

You have one choice in Leica, and its roughly 10x the G9 in cost. The Panny DMC-FZ18K has RAW, but it is even larger than the G9, >$500. About the closest I can find to your req's is the DMC-LX2K, at $370 but no external flash.
