There are some amazingly good shots with a G1X on Amazon's web page - http://www.amazon.co...le/dp/B006UMM2BW/

I really can't justify spending $2k+ for a new camera and lenses now. The G1X seems to be able to do nicely with limiting the depth of field and having a compact package is nice too.

At $550 or so at Amazon or B&H (at least through April 27), it's very very tempting...

Of course, it's likely the end of the line for the G-series cameras now that they've got a mirrorless one (EOS-M) out. But the M doesn't seem to offer any benefits (since I don't have any AF lenses and the existing M lenses aren't great).

Cheers,
Scott.
