While where we are in Australia is really well south of the real steamy hot parts we are still sub-tropical enough never to get frost. But it does get cool enough for llght jackets for a couple of months.

But even the GM1 is not really pocketable in my book - it might get into a large pocket when fitted with certain lenses but in essence it is just a very small regular camera.

Tom, to be honest I have to agree with you there. Even with the kit lens the GM1 is not really a true pocket camera. The reasons I ended up choosing the GM1 were, in this order: 1. sensor size, 2. it's a system camera and I already had lenses for that system, and 3. some inexplicable 'it' factor the tiny, and in my case bright colored, GM1 seems to have. The cost of the GM1 kit was so low (299 eur) that even if I pick up the RX100 later this wasn't a lot of money wasted.

Regards,

Timo
