I think the G7x might be your best bet. Since you only shoot Auto & Scenes your primary interest would seem to be snapshots to be viewed on the web, or in small prints.

At the risk of being pilloried I think you should consider that camera has the wide angle you want - 24mm - and you can extend your telephoto to 400mm using digital zoom.

The downside is that using digital zoom involves interpolation, a calculated enlargement, or reduced resolution, and the result may be softer depending on the subject. Not good for landscape but okay for people.

The reality is that you probably won't notice it. 20mp is a lot of resolution - poster sized resolution - so even an 8x10 won't look bad.

It will also fit in your pocket, or into a belt holster (my preference). With a holster the camera is protected and you can carry an extra battery or two.

Last word: Nothing really beats having the camera in hand. Make sure it feels comfortable or at least adaptable.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I think I like to get g1x mII.

There is one that it seems to have everything that I want, but is not a canon

and there is no review, and it will be released in june 24 according to amazon.

sony dschx90v , wide angle 24 with 30x zoom, 18mpixel, pocketable

no review, but would you buy it just for the specs?
