Yea, time to read-up on the latest cameras available.

I just bought a G7X II at the Canon "refurbished" store. I did a lot of reading and YouTube watching before buying.

I also have a G11 and a G15. The newer G7X II is FAR ahead of the G15 in all respects. Well the battery life could be a little better, but. The G7X II picture quality is very close if not on par with my SL1 (ILC/DSLR). The G7X II is also a little smaller than the G15/G16.

I think everything you want is in the G7X II, except the external flash capability.

The G7X II is my 4th G-series camera (G1, G5, G12) and serves as a lightweight alternative to my DSLR gear. It really is an excellent camera, my only disappointment being the absence of external flash support. I bought the HF-DC2 flash but it is a poor substitute for the 270EX II I used with the G12; if I feel I really need the extra flash, I'll use the G12.
