The absence of a built-in viewfinder will always be a deal-breaker for us so we're inclined to recommend the PowerShot G5X, which has a high-resolution EVF built-in, over the PowerShot G7X Mark II. Particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, where skies are often clear, any kind of viewfinder, no matter how basic, is better than none at all.

However, aside from that, the new camera provides some worthwhile improvements on its predecessor and is a better all-round performer. Consequently, we've nominated it as an Editor's Choice – specifically for buyers who can tolerate the lack of a viewfinder.
