And nothing about battery life?

I see no comments about battery life. 250 shots ? Is Canon kidding ?

I'm a Nikon DSLR user, but a Canon compact owner. I love my G11, because IMO it was the best compact on the market when I bought it, and because of its excellent battery life.

The G1X could have been a "super G11/12", but I won't buy a camera with only 250 shots before having to recharge the battery.

Given you have to check the settings on the LCD, you are forced to use it permanently, draining the battery (even if you use the OVF, which seems to be better than the G11/12 one).
That's very disappointing for a camera aimed at demanding photographers.
