I (almost) always hold the G7X down at waist level with the screen up 90 deg. that blocks the sun out most of the time, but sometimes I need to get it at say 45 deg. to prevent reflection. There is an element on guesswork at times, my default shooting mode is A priority single AF, seeing where the point is on the LCD is the most essential thing. It's only a toy after all.
I did do this on a few occasions, and I was tempted to continue doing so. But I want to preserve the ribbon cable, it may snap with too much opening and closing.

Yes, the thing that brings info from the camera, to the screen. I assume it is a ribbon cable, what else could it be?ribbon cable?

I think we are never happy, even when we purchase the camera we have lusted after for ages. We always seem to find something wrong, or something lacking. Then we are on the search again, then the process repeats itself. It's OK, it is normal.

Sergeant Pepper, Macartney, Pink Floyd ...
I don't know if the above suggestions comes up after watching the ribbon cable video means they are trying to tell me something or @Al1944
Nothing to do with a flip up screen in my case, since the RX100 Mk1 has a fixed screen
The ribbon cable is internal.

All the info on the RX100 is here >> https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/sony-rx100.433610/
Loads of chat, in fact a few years worth.

I went into the shop today, to have a look at the Canon G9X. I came out with the Canon G7X. I too, am pleased with the early results. Little on the heavy side though. Nice jpegs, so far.
I nearly did get one.

Iv just watched a review of the Panasonic lx100mk2
And I straight away thought yes this is what I want and it fits nicely in with my mft “main” kit
Only problem is it’s £800 !!
Just thought that’s a bit much for a camera I’m going to throw in the van and take to work every day !
I can buy a pen f for that and use my lenses and batteries in that

Lovely looking camera, not had much about the camera before. But reading up on it now, and I could be interested in it also.

Oh that's odd.
HERE is the google search and it's top of the page: mirrorlesscomparison
I believe the Pen F is for ...
1) People who have got to have 20MPs .... (is it necessary?)
2) People who are absolutely madly in love with the design. (Nikon Df is the retro camera for me)

I think a larger sensor is more important, not more pixels.
