You may want to consider the sx730is, it's is very cheap at $200ish for a refurb and fits in your pocket. Approx. the same external dimensions as g7xII. You will have a hard time getting BIF with it but for everything else it is really good. It's 20MP, A camera this small shouldn't be able to do what it can do. Most of the shots below are at 960mm equivalent.

BTW, exceptional composition on that last shot. Really excellent!
