There is no perfection in ignorance, and there are a lot of ignorant people here masquerading as supposed experts, while it is mostly emotionally laden banter. This is problem number One.
The Second problem is that real life results, i.e. the prints we make from any camera is the way to tell if this camera is up to snuff. Not pixel peeping, not technical reports, not what you see on your (crappy?) monitor (mine is crappy). E.g., Michael Reichmann has this approach: the real strength of a camera lies in the prints we make from it, and how well versed we are in processing RAW files.
Thirdly, this camera's strength lies in its low ISO capacities. It is like a particular film, like Velvia, etc. It is exactly within its limitations that this camera apparently shines. It is not trying to be all and do all.

Leaving the panoramic mode out is a big, big mistake. My G10 has a dust spot inside the lens, so it may be better to have it fixed after all. The G1x is kind of growing too big.
