My wife has the Canon XS 740 HS and she loves the zoom and photographic output. The only thing she doesn't like is that the lens cover will get stuck half open when turning off. She did contact Canon about it and of course they said to send it to them. She has been slow to do that because she is always using it.
I, on the other hand, got a Nikon A1000. So far so good, but I really do prefer using one of my Nikon DSLR's. I actually enjoy the heft. I know I'm strange. LOL

Dragon64, thank you. I feel the same way-my 7Dll feels just right in my hands but after lugging it 10-15 miles around a strange city or on a trail, I find myself wishing for something lighter and less bulky.

[quote=Ysarex]I have the G7x (mkii) and I'm very happy with it. I did the same as you and spent a long time comparing between the Canon, Sony and Panasonic options. The G7
Joe, haha, thank you for elaborating the details. I’ve always used Canon gear dating back to film days and now use the sx50 and 7Dll so leaning that way.

Your list of cameras are very good. For myself, I would bring it down to three choices. The Canon G9X, Sony RX100vii, and the Sony HX99. Either of these cameras are more than adequate to take as an only camera for a vacation. You do want satisfactory focal range. And, a camera that can shoot in RAW. I prefer to have a focal range, for a travel camera, to have a focal range from 25mm-200mm. But, not always necessary to every traveling photographer. Good luck on your choice.
Mas24, thank you for your input.

[quote=CHG_CANON]I have the G9X II, but you really can't go wrong with any of them.
Paul, thank you for the always insightful help. Beautiful images also!

RX100m7 is a very good camera. Has a bit of a learning curve to get to all of its capacity. Manual is over 600 pages. Can take really fine pictures. It is pricey of course. I have been happy with mine.
Secular, much appreciated.

I’m looking for a pocket or belt pouch sized camera to replace/complement a Canon bridge camera and DSLR to use for more convenient picture taking while traveling. I’m tired of lugging the bigger ones around.
I’ve looked at:
Canon G5x, G7x, G9x;
Sony hx99, RX100 VII
Panasonic ZS70, ZS80, ZS100, ZS200.
I’ve researched until my brain is tired and confused, and I’m wondering if any of you have some real life experience with any of these with recommendations. Most of my travel pictures are taken outside and I’d prefer a decent optical zoom, 1” sensor, raw capability etc. but I’m open to any good options. Budget can expand for the right camera.

I have had the EF-S 10-18 for 3 years now for wide angle use on my 7D mkII, and I like it. It produces good colors and I haven't seen much softness in the corners, and very little distortion. It is made of plastic so care is needed but the price new was $279. This picture was taken @10mm, f10, 1/200.

I've used the Sony RX100II for about three years now and the image quality is fantastic. I've been very impressed and have never had a problem with this camera.

The sunrise/sunset and moonrise view over the city from the Mount Royal Observation deck will give you some opportunities for good shots.
In addition to what others have said, I liked Saint Patrick's basilica, and the Musee des Beaux-Arts.

Looks like an entrance to a (sometimes) gated parking lot for a building housing a white vehicle same-day courier service in Florida. :)
