I put up with the small ergonomics in exchange for being able to put the G7X in my pocket. I also prefer an EVF/OVF but see that they add lots of bulk and some weight and, in the case of the Sony RXIV, some complexity and vulnerability to breakage.

I have held both the G7X and Sony RX100III and RX100IV many times at stores here in Japan. You would be surprised how the Sony cameras with EVF don't add lots of bulk and weight. Actually, all 3 cameras seem about the same size.

Yeah, my bad.  I meant that for most cameras with an EVF/OVF, they add bulk and weight.  The Sony is remarkably the same size as the Canon, but I did worry about the complexity and vulnerability with that design (and expense!).  I even thought the tilt screen, while offering a wider set of viewing positions than the G7X, seemed a bit complicated.  I prefer simpler and less complicated for my stuff as I'm pretty tough on my kit.  In any event, I didn't think the RX100 IV was worth the extra money, to me, and I valued the extra reach of the Canon's soon.

All the best.
