@KeepCalm Thanks for clarification. I wonder why Canin omiited the evf. To me it's more important than having a built-in flash. Why we should pay for features that must be standardized across all camera platform in entry level camera segment?
Sometimes when I check the DPR's review of old cameras I think the technology we use today were already available some 5-10 years ago but the manufacturers didn't bother to implement it property, whereas smartphone tech has changed quite rapidly and the changes were sensible.
I'm happy they didn't include an EVF. Keeps price and bulk down. I think the number of times I wished I had an EVF over the last few years of owning G7x.. Maybe once.
The g5x is the G7x with an EVF.
The mobile phone analogy doesn't work. They are a new tech... They've only really been around for a short bit. Regardless, I review mobile phones for a living and they're essentially the same as they've been since the first iPhone. Other than some quirky ones here and there.
Dear Damian,
As are digital cameras. Same job as ever but each new one from any major brand seems to provide a different motivation for new users?
And so it goes.

No, very different. The gulf in differences between modern cameras is huge in comparison to modern phones (other than a few quirky ones).
