Re: Upgrade from G11 to G7X - Is it worth it?

Cheers. I've read that Cameralabs article (very good). I'm leaning towards the Canon.

The 'ideal' and should be possible compact for me would be:

1. pocket-able

2. have many external buttons (like the aspect ratio button on the LX7). I LOVE that the LX100 has a shutter dial and aperture dial; to use one just select your setting on that dial and it automatically changes. simple but stunning!

3. 1cm focusing (like the LX7, probably the LX100)

4. viewfinder (like the RX. my first impressions of it weren't great but I'm sure it'd be handy at times)

5. screen that flips/articulates up or down (not a biggie but then again I haven't used a flip out screen yet)

6. long focal reach. 100mm is the best so far on the G7X.

7. touchscreen

Some day I'd imagine one will have these. Even if it's ever so slightly larger but still pocketable I'd be happy.
