Ooh, I had forgotten about the G3X. The last time I looked at it, I dismissed it on account of its size as a possible replacement for my compact. But under this different criteria it is much more interesting. I assume it will be a tradeoff between the G3X's bigger sensor, and the bigger zoom range of the SX60. Let's see, the G3X is 2.8x CF, compared to 5.6x (ish) of the SX60 so quite a difference. Actually, there's the possible deal breaker. I have a Sony HX9V already and the SX60 is the same sensor size. The 25x zoom of the G3X is likely sufficient (long end roughly equiv. to 400mm on APS-C I'd use) and being realistic the 65x on the SX60 may be a step too far. (Just NO to the P900!)
So on this paper spec comparison I think I will give the G3X some serious consideration, although the RX100 IV is still in with a shout too. It is priced high enough (~£560 grey import, it is too much through official channels) I will need to think about it as opposed to impulse buy, even if in DSLR lens terms it isn't really significant.
The Oly bundle I'm sure would be great but I'm not looking at that price level right now.
