There’s a lot of hype right now about the rumoredCanonPowerShot V1.

So which sensor size is the sweet spot?

The PowerShot G7X Mark III has a 20MP 1-inch sensor with a 4x optical zoom 24-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens.

I remember testing the G1 X Mark III and wishing that I could open up the lens more.

I reckon this is the sweet spot for image quality, camera size and lens design.
