Re: G1X MKII - Why the lack of buzz?

Thanks for putting the "hype-process" into perspective.

You're right, and as a Moderator - you've probably seen how this process goes numerous times.

For those of us trying to make a decision, it seems strange - but it actually is NOT strange once you look at it this way.

I STILL think it could be a good fit for my wants/needs in a camera.  I liked my G9 A LOT.  It was reliable, fit my hands well, and enabled me to take some pretty decent pictures.

However, I'm still torn between that and saving-up some more moolah to take a Photography / Photoshop Elements class, read a few books, and go with a Fuji X-T1.  I KNOW it's a different sort of camera.  But with the right Prime - it could remind me of my old Canonet GIII-QL (35-mm film, GREAT 40mm F1.7 lens), plus give me other opportunities to be CREATIVE.  Guess I just have to ask myself if I will use it enough to justify the bucks...
