As requested key features have been added in the captioning. Due to strict time constraints with the camera we were unable to relay this information at the time of editing.

@DJFADERAL Maby you failed to notice that the Nikon P7000 looks very hard to a Canon G12?

[Thokko]

G1 X is Powershot G6 knockoff! Sadly, the Powershot G6 has a much better lens, f 2.0

@mucalinda No problem.

[DJFADERAL]

Does anybody else think this looks almost identical to a Nikon p7000. Just sayin.

If only the "manual" controls had included the "Zoom" as well, this would have been a winner for me!

@Rationalific Sorry . Mixing you up with the first person who commented on my posting.

[Rationalific]

@mucalinda You're wrong, and the comments prove it. Just go back to the history of our conversation, and you can see that your first comment was "It doesn't look that much smaller than my Canon 600D and 24mm prime lens.", and then I posted about how it's significantly smaller than the Canon 600D. It's not comparable in size at all. Even another commenter said the same. I NEVER said that DSLR owners would want this. If I did, please quote my comment back to me.

This thing looks sooooo reminiscent of a 1970's plastic Yashica camera that Grand Ma gave you as a Christmas gift. Why didn't Canon actually hire a real designer (Porsche would have been a good choice) instead of doing all their "Consumer Studies" using Super 8 home movies from the long gone past?

I'm disappointed! I've been waiting for this to come out for 6 months, but I guess I'll have to go for the X10.
