G1X popularity - is it on the rise?

It seems lately there are more G1X threads on the Canon PowerShot forum than usual.

But as I just bought one, this could just be me seeing the "red car" phenomenon right?

And since it is cheaper now in most places by several hundred dollars than when released, it's now really a bargain for what you're getting.

Maybe a better-late-than-never sales increase and google hits might get noticed by Canon and motivate them to do an upgraded model, or at least a

FIRMWARE UPDATE!
