Has anyone abandoned the X10 for the G1X?

Gary,

There are certain people who will forgive just about anything if the price is right. There are some who will pay just about anything if they get what they want. Saying that the cost of the G1 X is too high for what it delivers is egocentricity at its finest. Tina Fey said it best: “It is an impressively arrogant move to conclude that just because you don’t like something, it is empirically not good. I don’t like Chinese food, but I don’t write articles trying to prove it doesn’t exist.” Some people don't like the G1 X because its cost is "too high." A reasonable person might add the disclaimer "for me." Being absolutist about it definitely smacks of arrogance...."it is absolutely and obviously priced higher than any reasonable human would pay for it no matter what use they have in mind!"

Some of us see an extremely high quality lens packed into a very tight space in front of a huge (for a point and shoot) sensor and know exactly what to do with it. Some people want to call us fanboys and cuddle up to their X10 in bed whispering "you're the best camera in the whole wide world....why would anyone want anything else?" I wouldn't pay money for the X10 but I don't blame anyone else for liking what they like or paying what they pay for something I would sell if it was given to me. Personal preference, nothing more.
