There are just so few small cameras with a builtin EVF/OVF:

Tiny sensor:
Canon G16 OVF
Nikon P7800 EVF
Fuji X10, X20 OVF
Fuji X30 EVF

1" sensor:
Sony RX100III, RX100IV

Did I miss any?

I just remembered the Panasonic LX100. It is easy for me to sometimes forget about some of the Panasonic and Sony models because here in Japan they are never in the running if I want a camera. Unlike all the other companies (Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Fuji, Ricoh, Sigma, Casio, etc.) Panasonic and Sony cameras sold in Japan have crippled firmware that does not allow you to change the menu language. Very annoying. Of course, Panasonic and Sony cameras sold outside Japan allow you to change the language.

Actually, I would probably have already bought an LX100 if not for this issue. It sells for about US$500 here (at the current exchange rate).
