After owning a series of P&S cameras of which the S90 was the latest, I recently picked up an a6000 for something more flexible and capable of challenging shots. Although this'll be my primary camera I'd like to keep a secondary camera that is more pocketable. Overall I was quite happy with my S90, although the G7X seems significantly better in almost every way other than size and weight. As a primary cam I don't think there's any question, G7X all the way. But as a secondary cam, should I keep the S90 until it dies or replace with a G7X? How much pocketability do I lose with the extra 10mm of depth?

I had S95 and now have s100. It is a great camera that I have with me literally all the time: walking, biking, in the car, in the restaurant, anywhere. It has all controls anyone needs and is super compact.

I never take G7x anywhere. I bought it for one and only one purpose: underwater photography (very low light conditions). Most of the time (if not all) G7x stays home unless I am on vacation scuba diving: it is too big and heavy for being every day use.

You already have big(er) camera a6000, so why do you need another big one?
