hippy-
I’d sooner just carry an Ixus if bulk is an issue. Being a Canon rep from 2007-2012ish I never rated the Powershot range except the top paparazzi level ones (G range). Always lusted after a G7/8/9.
The dirt-cheap Sony Nex 3N bought on-here a while ago has been more than okay. I don’t notice the weight. If you want a do-it-all then the A6000 with collapsing zoom lens (16-50??) is only fractionally larger. I prefer primes for all the reasons.
Daft thing is a Nex 5 or 3 plus lens isn’t far off the cost of an Ixus.

You can’t beat Ixus for pocketability. Even in a water-resistant pouch they’ll beat most for size vs bulk. Powershots start to get bulky.
All the same I’d sooner grab an older Sony Nex with pancake lens and do the neck strap tight enough to reduce swinging about (or put in jersey/hip bag).
