The Canon G9x doesn't have a viewfinder and both Canons have very limited zoom range. The Sony RX100 is above your stated budget. While many rave about the Sony, at $1,300 and only 24-200mm equiv lens, I think you would be better served with the Lumix DC-ZS200 at $598 and 24-360mm equiv lens. I am very happy with my ZS100 but would have gotten the 200 if it had been out when I bought it for the larger zoom.
I was waiting for you to mention the ZS100. I love mine.
