Interesting. I agree the samples from the G1X look better, but it doesn't offer that much of a size advantage over my Pentax K-x, and the OVF is (by all accounts) quite a bit worse than the X-10 (key factor for me). If I didn't already have a fairly compact DSLR the G1X would be more tempting, but I have decided it is probably neither as flexible and pleasant to use as a DSLR, nor compact and light enough to be really handy as a travel cam.
So far the X-10 is winning the battle for my affections ....
IMO, x10 has been very handy as well as capable of good photo shoots. My friends have been blown away with the shoots, even low lighting is neither an obstacle to this small gem. OMG, it is really a fun high-end cam to have with plenty to give.
