I'm going to step back a bit for now.
At the less insane price range I still think the RX100 IV would be better overall than the G3X. The problem I have is that I can't imagine using longer focal lengths without EVF, and I don't want an external one on the G3X.
Also some may recall in the past I looked at replacing my Sony HX9V travelzoom compact. I bought a Canon SX240 and after using both for a while, the Sony was superior overall. In the end I kept using the HX9V and sold on the SX240. My fear is that in the compact category, Canon are simply not as good as Sony overall. And these cameras, even with their higher costs and features, I think are more compact-like than interchangeable lens like.
I think my next area to look at might be older versions of these models. Are they still good enough at a much lower cost?
