Canon G1X
Just wondering if anyone here has picked one of these up?
I have read some reviews but wanted to hear some real world thoughts.
Looking for a good point and shoot that can still produce a good stock image
and this is looking like my best bet.
Thanks

The controls are very easy on it especially in Manual Mode

The build quality is a joke! I went to the shop yesterday to check it out and was amazed how cheep it
felt in my hands. I put my cameras through a lot of abuse, and this thing feels like it would not last a weekend. Pretty bummed really. Had hi hopes, and it would be in my bag right now if it didn't feel like it came out of a cereal box.
Is it not very similar build quality to other bodies in the Canon "G" series compact cameras?

The word "plasticy" seems to come up a lot.
But to be fair, it's undetermined yet whether it's actually less durable than previous iterations. I love my G11 and it has had several close encounters with asphalt. And when it came out, the forums were full of angry threads about Canon shamefully skimping on G11 build quality.
Very disappointed at the shortcuts.

I don't mind plastic, the G1X seems to have great "IQ" and range, I just wish the price was lower
