28mm at the widest and not bothered about the zoom distance.

Must have variable screen!

Thats it really and it appears the options stopped at the G12!

The G1x fits the bill but doesn't offer much over the G12 performance wise.

The G9x II would have been perfect with a variable screen!

Did anyone ever find their perfect Powershot?

And thats the reason I still keep my G12.

My G1X I wont part with either, its a wee bit slow on AF but stonking IQ, shame about the macro stuff but with the appropriate filter is good enough.

The G16 has that great lens at 1.8 to 2.8 but as you say no vari fold out screen but a brilliant camera that even larger sensors don't have much on it with that fabulous lens.

Now if only Canon had done a power shot with GPS!

But for now my 3 G series cameras do every thing I need.
