Yes I do have a burning question and it's none other than the minimum focusing distance ... (cross posted as follows from comments left at Preview page)
I shoot with two 5D Mark IIs professionally and for everything else I use the G11. Essentially two very important considerations: the flip out LCD and the 1 cm macro capability (excellent feature for food photography). The G1X with all the other great features has compromised this with a focusing distance of 20cm (according to Dpreview Specs). The G1X quickly went from "high exciting" to a big let down for me.
Question: Does the bigger sensor result in a magnification at such that at 20cm, it's (by any chance?) equivalent to 1cm on the G11/12?

It's such a disappointment that Instagram continues to be unavailable natively for iPad and I'm not desperate enough to install it in 0.5 times the size it should be. Luckily Snapseed came to the rescue and gave me pretty much what I had wanted Instagram to provide and it quickly became my most preferred photo editing app on the iPad: http://shimworld.wordpress.com/2011/06/27/snapseed-my-most-preferred-photo-app-on-the-ipad-2/

Funny how a good diamond ring should "cost 3 month's salary" but a good photographer shouldn't even cost a month's salary?
