Another reason why G1X is a BAD DEAL...

$800 for a fixed lens point n shoot.

For under $850, I get the flexibility of lens variation for future use. Better pictures with VERY CREDIBLE DIGIC processor.

Not to mention far far better pictures above iso 1600 (compared to G1X).

Your logic behind a coat-pocket camera is questionable since a G1X is still VERY BULGY inside a coat pocket.

Hardly portable. Easily inferior. Not even APS-C.

Autofocus... turtle-speed compared to T3i.
