Your first-look article says: "Conspicuously missing from the G1 X is a built-in flash." That's not true per this I-R first-look article;

It looks rather large, of course due to the larger sensor and optics. And, that's a large price for my wallet anyway. Although, it is interesting.

Wonder how it will do in the market for photogs with older G series when they know this: http://www.canonrumors​.com …canon-mirrorless-in-2012/

It definitely have to have a flash as the underwater housing has a diffuser. Also without a flash underwater sTTL will not be able to work with a strobe.

I don't know about that price...doesn't have that retro look that makes it worthy of a $800 P&S.

Seems pretty pricey. No price given on Canon USA's website though.

Wish the lens was a little longer ... but probably will get one.

It kind of seems that both Canon and Nikon are hesitant to give us what we really want for fear of cannibalizing their dslr sales.

Make it interchangeable and ef compatible and it would sell

I think the price is MSRP, I doubt the price will stay there long. That article about the mirrorless is interesting. Would be cool to have EF compatibility, but that would totally kill the compactness of it.

Maybe EF with an adapter. To me, the whole selling point of the m4/3 offerings or the Nikon 1 is the smaller form factor body along with smaller lenses. That's why I don't like the Sony Nex. Smaller body, but standard sized lenses.

NO, it would be a monstrosity at that point.

$800 DAYUMMMMMMM !

But it has an APS-C sensor and a 28-115mm zoom starting at f2.8. People pay $600+ for a DSLR with a kit zoom, this is the same thing but the lens retracts into the body. THat's worth some extra cash, IMO.

This is going to be a huge hit, IMO. The main competitor is the GX1 with the 14-42PZ and that's a combo that runs well over $1000 - even more with a viewfinder.
