Re: Advice sought on upgrading from Canon S90 and SX10

"the G7X is about $699. Would it be better to look at DSLR or a mirrorless system and a decent zoom lens"

If money is an area of high concern, yes an entry level DSLR with a good kit zom will cost less and take better pictures than  a G7X.  (or mirrorless... refurbished Olympus models on the Olympus website are a particularly good bargain. (like an EPL5)

G7X is a very good camera.  I have one.  AF speed is acceptable.  Better than other Canon point and shoots I have had in the past.   But you do pay a premium for the compact size.
