Re: G7X All the Rage- But is the G16 Still Tempting?

I wear bi-focals. even tri-focals. I have no trouble with my G16 in composing or setting up a shot. Occasionally I do use the OVF, but seldom. Only because it doesn't give a true picture of the whole scene. It's pointless to argue over this because there are only two camps on the OVF in Powershots: those that like it and those that don't. Personally? I can take it or leave it!

What is of more importance though?  Is Canon going to make a G17(?) or some sequel to the G16 (a great camera BTW IMHO)? And given a preference? Yes! Keep the OVF, in spite of its shortcomings.

As for the G7X? I will probably buy one. But only after I see many reports from those who actually plunked down their money for it. For now I'm happy with the S110. A great little carry-around camera BTW.
