Canon PowerShot: No more digital compact cameras with viewfinder?

That is I bought a Nikon Z7ii and used the menu to cut off the screen.

Perhaps a dark scarf over your head would help when taking photos with the display? Back to the beginning of the story

Although a viewfinder should also magnify.

I would look silly with a hijab. And the viewfinder magnifies and is not cluttered with reflections.

But the efv is also a tiny crappy low res lcd with poor color. Even on the high end cameras it feels like going back to the days of the viewfinders on VHS home video cameras.

New Sony RX1R- Mark III is compact and has a viewfinder.

I guess it is good news that they are reportedly manufacturing the G7X again, given demand. However, I wish there was a wave of improvements for the 1" compacts. See that Canon's model does not incorporate a viewfinder, but the Sony RX100 series do after the mkIII.

These are quite good cameras and miss my now broken Sony. One minor improvement/change would be to have USB-C charging which I have found really useful in my Olympus EM1.3 during roadtrips!
While at it, quite expensive, but their value is of really high quality in a pocket and I found out that a 1" compact with quality zoom is all about I need in digital. Which IMO the V1 as vlog oriented misses due to the cooling system. Rather ludicrous prices in the user market for the aforementioned models.

No viewfinder but the new 20mp Pentax line looks like a terrific buy.
