Then, I recently found the Powershot G5 X. If I were to give up action photos (which I don't really do much of anyway) it looks ideal. I could sell my 7D and two lenses (soon to be three), and change my current Powershot SX410 IS for something a bit better (particularly with the ability to shoot RAW), perhaps a SX50, I could change to a G5 X.
The obvious downgrade for changing from DSLR to compact would be the small sensor, and the fixed lens. Here are my thoughts:
Smaller sensor: My EOS 7D was released in the 2009, the Powershot G5 X in 2015. Using DPR's studio comparison the noise seems only slightly worse on the G5 X.
Fixed lens: I don't have a whole bunch of money for new lenses, and it might be some I could live without.
I've had a G5x mkI for several years. Here is a post on my thoughts from 2018 but still represents what I think of it.

1" cameras, you get compact size but there are compromises to noise, detail, CAF for older cameras, being cramped, sluggish. Other things you might be able to tailor with ILC is weather resistance and of course, customizing the focals, apertures to your situation.
Thanks very much - really helpful.
I'm wondering now if an Olympus om-d e-m10 (original) and kit lens would be better... I'm not sure. I prefer to stay with Canon.
I'll continue my research.
The line I suggest you pay most attention to is "1fp in RAW." That dissuaded me from buying one back when this camera came out. But your reaction may be different. Either way, it certainly won't be anything like shooting on the 7D, which gave you high-fps shooting at the expense of pretty much everything else.
I know, that's probably the most deterring thing...
