BBC has some good pictures of the cruise ship that ran aground and is sinking in Italy. Check them out [Here]

I want it but I need to know how much it costs. I placed a pre-order again for the Panasonic GX1 + 14-42mm X Lens but if this Fuji turns out to be around $1,400 with the lens then I really want it. [YouTube]

Not to be confused with the Panasonic GX1 or the Canon G12 which looks like it, the G1X is Canons new camera aiming to compete with the Panasonic and Olympus micro 4/3rds as well as Sony NEX series cameras. What I’m loving about this camera is the very large APS-C sensor. It’s also priced at $800 which is $150 cheaper than the Panasonic GX1 with the 14-42mm X lens. [Link]

I’m more confused than ever on what compact camera to get. I’ve already pre-ordered the Panasonic GX1 with the X lens but the Fuji looks great but is very expensive and now the Canon G1X with the large sensor is tempting plus it’s cheaper than the Panasonic. The only thing really keeping me from canceling my Panasonic pre-order is the great experience I had using the older GF1 which I am hoping the GX1 will replace.

Update: Just canceled my GX1 pre-order. Haven’t decided against Panasonic but I’m now considering not getting the X Lens and instead just order the body to use with my 20mm instead. At the same time will wait and see what else gets released this week. So far the Fuji X-Pro 1 got announced, the Canon GX1 got announced and I read Olympus might announce something as well.

It looks good but most likely will cost around $2,000. [Link]

Update: The price is out… $1,700 body only [Link]

And it’s free! [YouTube]

The GX1 is back in stock on Amazon. As of this post they have 13 from the black available and 13 from the silver ones. They also have the GX1 with the regular 14-42mm zoom lens (very little quantities as well). The GX1 with the new X series lens is sadly still not shipping. [Link]

There used to be a show on daytime television called Supermarket Sweep. I would love to be in one called Amazon Sweep. [Link]

Lots of good ones but didn’t spot anything great. [Link]

Cool website to help you compare sizes of different cameras. You can also view and compare the cameras from all sides. [Link]

Looks like I know what I’m getting for Christmas. The GX1 is everything the Panasonic GF1 was except better. Personally I would have been sold if it was exactly like the GF1 except with better high iso capabilities. [Link]

Inspired by the classic below. [Link]

Finally a replacement for the GF1. Hopefully it’s going to cost under $700 [Link]
