Because the article is about bridge cameras. That would exclude the G3X.

The 1" sensor G3X covers 24 to 600mm in a package that is bigger than my pocket zooms that cover the same range. Granted, for the G3X you have to buy the EVF separately to cover all criteria for a bridge camera.

I could not focus the G3X in the shop at maximum zoom, and my SH-2 can (same focal range). I once did a comparison between the SZ-30MR (which zooms noisily and hunts for focus) and the SH-50 (which does not do either). https://youtu.be/v9_AWcUhqjI . So I did not want another camera that focuses like the SZ-30MR did.

If people could tell me that the focus in the G3X is now updated, I would consider it again. It only costs slightly more than my 10kg Giulietti accordion that I sold last week for a similar price.
