Re: link to 2 galleries shot with G1X original

As a few have mentioned, the G1X and G1Xii are good options as well, though a little larger, and generally, a little pricier. Also, The g7x and rx100 are generally considered to be on par with these cameras for low light shooting, as their smaller sensors are newer and have been tested to be pretty comparable in image quality.

That said- here is a deal for you- Canon G1X refurbished direct from Canon for $269, great price! They even toss in a free 4gb card

Keep in mind, 4x zoom, not the best autofocus in the world, and probably not as good in low light as the g7x or g1xii when zoomed in, but you're talking less than half the price of those models, so if budget is top of your list, it is worth considering for sure.

EDIT: Actually, all the Canon refurbs are on sale again, just check this link:
