I am wanting to get a very nice compact camera for this summer. I am entertaining the Canon G7X II and the Sony RX100 IV for starters. Anyone have either of these or any suggestions?

If you don't need a zoom lens, check out the Fuji X100F as well.

Dennis, those two are the ones I would consider also for a compact. I was perusing last week for grins. The Sony has a pop-up electronic view finder if you do not like using the LCD screen to compose in daylight. The sensors are almost equal per DXO.

I'll butt into this thread if I may?
I have a similar question. the camera I lost, or I hope misplaced is a Panasonic Lumix DMC ZS 50. I liked that camera, what other makes, and models are close to that?

I am specifically looking only at the large sensor (1") cameras. There are about 5 or 6 of them if you don't count all the models of the Sony RX100. They have great lenses,great shutters, great video- some have view finders. They are about the closest thing to a DSLR that you will have with you when not out specifically photographing things.

I hate to 'horn it", or highjack this but, could someone tell me about the sensor size, and zoom as to how the camera is used?

This explains it and shows a graphic representation comparing sensor sizes. http://photoseek.com/2013/compare-d...5mm-aps-c-micro-four-thirds-1-inch-type/In order to get extreme zoom out of these inexpensive pocket cameras, small, noisy sensors are used.

I think the Sony RX 100's are the best of the 1" P&S's, primarily because of its processor and lens. An optical viewfinder on a P&S doesn't really mean anything to me, and I'd be inclined to go with the MKIII were I in the market to replace my MKI.
