I am comparing it to my G10 as I have a lot of experience with it. First...I only use the G10 at ISO 80 if looking for colour...or a max of ISO 400 if I know I will convert to B+W ( gives a nice grain effect with a bit of PS manipulation).
ISO 80 isn\'t a problem for me...my other take anywhere camera is a rangefinder and my film of choice is PanF.
The 1GX is bulky and needs a small bag whereas the G10 slips in my pockets....so that will remain my take anywhere camera. The G1X in a bag will be for casual trips where I might want to do some semi serious photographing (although I did that with the G10 in my pocket and to good effect).
As for image quality.....I haven\'t done any serious printing from the G1X yet but it will be interesting to see how it matches up to the A3 prints from my G10..the lens on that camera is just so sharp. However..the G1X lens is supposed to be the best G series lens according to Canon......so I am expecting great things.
All in all...I prefer the way the G10 handles but the G1X appears to be the better package and I hope it was a worthwhile purchase.
