| G1x is a pretty *** machine too for a point and shoot person. Canon G series p&s started to get really cool at about the G10 and after. I would use the *** out of anything that came after G9. (to be fair, G9s are not bad at all) |
I just bought a Canon s95 with only 50 shutter actuations for $270 from some guy on KSL who used it to take short clips of video robotics at his work. It has similar specs to the G12 but no flash shoe and not as much zoom. It will fit in your pocket, however, and is a nice backup to a DSLR (I sold mine to buy this). It'll shoot in RAW and has full manual controls. It's not as powerful as a 50D, but I always have it with me so I can capture the amazing things I run across every day, like the ventilation pipes at UVU, or hazy shots of Utah Lake.
There's quite a difference in size between the s95 and the Sony A230 that I had for a year. The sensor on the s95 is smaller than the A230, but bigger than some point-and-shoots.
It'll shoot time lapse with tilt shift, which is kind of fun. The s100 has better video resolution: 1920 x 1080p

I'm not really a photographer, and most of these were just shot on "auto."
Some low light video, 720p HD I think.
Here's a pic from DPreview shot with an s100 at ISO 6400. The colors are nice but there are artifacts:
