1. G9 X Mark III with tilt screen.

2. A camera same as G1 X Mark III (APS-C), but without the EVF. (I don't like that hump.) Or maybe now that it seems like Canon can do it: A new G1 X Mark IV with pop-up EVF.

1. Adding the tilt screen would add thickness to the camera. At that point, might as well just grab the G7x with faster lens with greater focal range.

2. Every G1x has changed form factor so you might be onto something.

1. Only a few mm. It will still be much much smaller and lighter than a G7 X ii. I will be the first in the line to buy it. It would be a very nice pocket camera (and much more useful with a tilt screen). (G7 X ii is too thick for my jeans pockets)

2. Yes. I would like a APS-C jacket pocket zoom camera a little less bulky than the G1 X iii. I would be happy with the exact same camera but without the EVF. I don’t understand why they have not already made this camera. G7 X II sells very well without an EVF.

If the G7X II sells well why go to the expense of making a G1X without an EVF which could bite in to G7x sales. The G9X with a thicker screen could also do that but then people may go elsewhere because they like the ultra thin profile which is the whole rationale behind the camera.

The range seems pretty well balanced and differentiated to me. With the G5X moving to a pop up EVF I think the G1X keeping the decent central EVF is even more important.
