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!

... The image stabilization is unbelievably good. All the photos below are handheld except for jupiter moons and Saturn photos. The first two are a test I did comparing DSLR to the SX730.

sx730, male robin guarding the nest while the mother is away

Nikon D750 with 135mm portrait lens (note that camera incorrectly reports lens as 16mm on exif)

about 450 feet away

almost at minimum focus distance

Jupiter and 4 of it's moons

Saturn

Dandelion, widest angle

Great Statement.

SX740 SEEMS a good choice for YOU ALEX.

SX60 Bridge Camera with raw Format CR2 was great.

By Greg

Moon CR2 RAW

Funny Venus capture. 5460 mm

Of course with tripod and selftimer.

...

SX70 weight 608 g.

Snappy and great EVF.

Even a step better in Performance overall.

I would sell You the new SX70.

😉
