I\'ve been watching these in G1X Group on Flickr, some good records of these military vehicles. I didn\'t realise the heights you went to to get them! I wish you\'d included close ups of the information boards on each, as it would have made them much more interesting IMO.
Well, for me Flickr is mostly a centralized repository for my images, then I use the shots on dedicated forums where we discuss among fellow enthusiasts. For those kind of people the info panels don\'t add anything, they already know better. But I see your point.

One question, how do you find autofocus accuracy with the G1X, it has come in for some criticism? With these subjects it must be difficult to know what to lock onto, or is it central each time?
It\'s central almost all time. I find it accurate but very slow, just like a typical G-series camera. The G1X provide image quality up to an APC-S level, but AF speed is very much at the level of a compact camera, it can\'t compete with any reflex or mirrorless. It\'s still okay for my needs, since subjects are static. For me another bonus is the ability to share the same flash among the DSLR and the G1X, something I couldn\'t do with a Micro 4/3 or a NEX.
