I've now begun to take the G1X with me when I walk around Brisbane each day. It's much more compact than my DSLR's and its capabilities mean I can still take photos at night. When combined with a Joby tripod - this little machine is a wonderfully flexible rig.
This image was captured at the new Pier 1 development at Newstead. ISO 800, 1.0 sec at f/4.5, -2/3 EV, Aperture Priority.
I highly recommend the G1X for photography enthusiasts and pros alike. Pros will like the freedom of its small form factor, ease of use and its inconspicuous nature that will allow them to get closer to everyday subjects. Enthusiasts will enjoy being able to take more control over their image captures and the freedom that this camera will give them. They will also find it great for video (if they don't need slow motion) and image captures in low light situations.
I see that many pros are starting to keep one of these cameras in their kit - especially those shooting photojournalism and travel. That doesn't surprise me in the least... As I've mentioned previously - this little camera is now a key component in my camera bag - valued as highly as my DSLRs, Speedlites and Pocket Wizards... It's purpose is different for sure, but it's finding plenty of use and enlarging my photography opportunities because of it's convenience.
Now I just need to find a good small bag for it...
