Which do i want? While i prefer the final product of film over digital, i believe a digital would help me as i improve my vision and technique. I won't hear a cash register instead of the shutter, i'll be able to see my results same day, and i figure it helps like playing the electric guitar improves your acoustic ability and vice versa. This is for taking photos as i walk through the city and my other daily environments. The most common subjects will likely be buildings and people. I imagine the answer is close to 'potayto-potahto'? Don't care about video.
Also open to other front-pocket-sized cameras in a similar price range. It seems like most of the others are just more zoom, while i doubt i'll do much shooting past a 50mm equivalent focal length. The Canon G7x Mark II looks very nice.
Simply tap the G7 X Mark II via NFC to the Connect Station to easily store your photos. Software when using it with the Mac El Capitan and Sierra OS versions.

I handled the earlier 10-MP version a couple years back and looked at it at Best Buy, and I liked the top mounted dial. The current Mark II version has a very wide-aperture f/1.82.8 zoom lens, which is very fast for a compact camera. I think it would likely be my choice, but I've been a Canon G-series owner off and on for over a decade now.
I cuurently have an 'old' G model, but it's different than this newer model. I dunno.I would really urge you to go to a store and check both cameras out in your own two hands. Appreciate the replies. Yes, that x100 line caught my attention.

Fitting into my front pocket was a must for this foray. I bought a gx7 ii. Walked in and the sales girl asked how many rolls i was dropping off.
Quite surprised when i told her why i was there. First camera i've ever bought new. First (non-polaroid) autofocus camera i've ever bought. First zoom lens i've ever bought.
They didn't have the lumix. Another customer saw me looking at the gx7 ii and said it was the greatest camera he's ever owned. Started talking about it and after a few minutes i was sold. Did not want to spend much time shopping for a digital camera.
I did look at, hold, and consider g1 x ii for its sensor size. Also played with the gx9 ii and whatever the latest g5 is.
G9 was missing a tilting screen, which i think will be nice especially given the lack of viewfinder. G5 was too big and didn't offer much more than the g7 other than the viewfinder. While i did not get to compare the feel of the lumix, the gx7 ii has great ergonomics. My only complaint about the exterior design is that the pieces that protect the lens do not seal very firmly. Like they might be pushed open in your pocket. Photos suggest the lumix lens cover is the same. Will have to figure that out.
Of course will let you know what i think after playing with it for a bit, Ysarex. Though my closest comparisons are going to be the xa in ergonomics and the fg in function. Do i need to get a press-on cover for this screen? Went into the store with that question and left without asking.
Just wanted to update this thread. After a lot of faffing around, I've got (almost) one-touch wireless image/video uploads from my G7 X Mk II to my Mac Mini running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 working. It needed two related steps completing: signing up for Canon Image Gateway and installing Image Transfer Utility. A bit of configuration and adding my camera completed the setup.
Now I can press the WiFi button on the camera, select the upload to computer icon and any new images are sent directly to my Mac. The message on the camera display says it is sending the images directly (both the camera and Mac are connected to the same WiFi router) and when I check Transmission History in Canon Image Gateway, there is no record of anything being transmitted via the gateway. It's more of a sync feature than a selective upload but it's good enough for me for now. I am a very happy bunny!

On a related note, the camera appears to be fantastic but the software is woefully poor, and in fact, not even written properly for macOS Sierra, as the OS pops up warnings about the software when you install it and run it.
Thus, I've deleted all of the Canon software from my Mac apart from Image Transfer Utility. Completely true. Even the Camera Connect app is poor.
You cannot transfer the photos and videos in their original format wirelessly, you are stuck at jpeg and 720p respectively. So transferring wiredly is the only option on both macOS and Android. Unfortunately, iOS is too limited as it doesn not allow transferring CR2s over the USB port.
In that case, install the free 'Documents' app from Readdie and enable wifi hotspot mode of this app which allows you acting the iOS device as a WebDAV server which can be accessed from any browser of your Mac.
