Re: Replacement for Canon Powershot G1x mkI

Just thought I'd update this thread for archiving purposes...

Thanks for all the helpful advice and comments throughout btw.

I ended up keeping the G1x but I've added a Sigma DP2 Merrill compact to my "arsenal", which I'll now use as my walk around camera. I'm going to add a close-up lens for macro work (not something you can do easily with the G1x) and the Canon will be for general stuff, which the Sigma just does not do. It has no I.S., Iso 100 or 200 or nothing, terrible AF, horrible battery life, poor screen (and no evf) and many other negatives. Apparently, when it nails it, the IQ at ISO 100 or 200 makes up for its many shortcomings. I like a challenge.....
