Story of the PowerShot G1 X Mark II Development
It is always good to understand that your opinion is your opinion. And plenty of different people with different needs exist.
I thought that was implicit in my post by mentioning "tourist walkaround camera champ". Yet in comparison to it's price competition, it appears to be lacking in the feature set category. Do I need to state " that's just imho ! Also, do you really think this camera...and I'm talking in video terms, is competition for the rx10 ?

Its the same price as a6000w/lens w/o evf. And canon wants 300 for the evf ! The sensor difference is minimal between 1.5" and m43. The lens specs are nice . It'll be a tourist walkaround camera champ...or photojournalist who want to look like tourist ! At this late date...it should have had 60p at least.
Great focal length! Too bad the video is only 30p. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/canon-g1x-ii/canon-g1x-iiDAT.HTM
So far I'm sticking to my RX100 mk1 and hopes Sony gives the mk3 as good 1080 video as the RX10/AX100 and a faster lens.
Any one knows if the Magic Lantern crew have tried to improve on these Canon models?
May be because lens is good with 9 aperture blades? Sensor is bigger than m43?
Plenty of reasons.
Why would someone buy this over an a6000, or gm1, for instance ? It's amazing that canon has rested this long on it's past laurels. If it wasn't for ML, it would be even more embarrassing ! Truly, it seems only panasonic is willing to exploit their cameras potential to the fullest.
@IronFilm. Yes it looks bigger than a GM1, however the Canon also sports a bigger sensor than the GM1! Canon's 1,5" Sensorsize is between Micro Four Thirds and APS-C shttp://cameraimagesensor.com/size/#89,53,15,a
Looks like a very interesting camera indeed
damn, that thing looks HUGE! Would be way bigger than a GM1. Though it does look interesting. Who knows, maybe in years to come I might pick it up cheap on a sale :-P
It's clear that packing more and more pixels isn't really necessary and hurts the DR
It is not true. If you look photos is same resolution DR is usually same.
WOW! I didn't see that coming from Canon. Looks real interesting. I like that it's only 12.8 Mpix. Don't know why more companies don't go that route at this point. It's clear that packing more and more pixels isn't really necessary and hurts the DR.
