Hey DBall -
Hope this is appropriate to mention here, but I'll probably be putting my G1X MkII up for sale this weekend. I got it Sept 2014 to take on a work trip (carry on only vs. dSLR gear) and I've really grown to love it.
Only reason I'm selling - taking the family to Disney in a couple of weeks, wanted something smaller so got a G7X, and can't justify having two cameras like this in addition to the dSLR stuff. My initial thought is I prefer the G1X MkII to the G7X...except for the size. Don't get me wrong G1X MkII isn't big; just not cargo shorts pocket friendly (which is my requirement for Disney).
If you're interested PM me. I kitted out the camera pretty nice - has an Eveready case, spare Canon battery and Canon flash.

Sold my G1X2....few weeks ago. G7X. is handier for casual use.
I am keeping the G1X Mk2, but I also just bought the G7X. (Going for US$410 warranteed if you know the right stores in HK.) Mostly for the extra resolution.
I have an RX100 Mk2. It does many things (including greater flexibility, particularly for video) the Canons don't except, for my money, take pictures I prefer or make the experience of taking them so enjoyable.
I am not interested in the later iterations of RX100 because I am not interested in the slower glass or shorter focal lengths for greater price. I even find the focal length of the G7X a little more limiting than I'd like. I'd miss the extra 20mm on the G1XMk2 if I gave it up completely.
