Could consider picking up a G16.

I would too but the asking prices for used G16s are absurd, considering that a I can a 50D for about $100 and even a 7D for less than a G16. A Canon refurbished M50 is only a little more.

I just eBayed a G15 for $95. But that was only because I already have an S100, GX7 Mk II and a brace of EOS M bodies and lenses. The G15 was really superfluous to me. I was eBaying a batch of more expensive superfluous camera equipment and the G15 got thrown in.

If I didn't already have a GX 7 II, I certainly would not have gotten rid of my G15. It is a fine camera.

p.s., A few weeks earlier I bought a 40D in good condition on eBay for $90. I didn't really need it, but I just wanted to have it. So long as it was under $100. I paired it with a EF 24-85 USM f/3.5-4.5 I already had for a decent $200ish DSLR rig. Messing around with cheap oldies but goodies is a good way to keep our minds occupied in these, ah,  interesting times.
