Hi, to start with I don't really have first hand experience, but I have a friend that really likes his Sony RX100. (And I fully trust his photography knowledge.) They rather recently released version II of it and he's probably upgrading soon. (And then I may buy his version I). Depending on your requirements this one may not be the best option, but my friend calls it "the best camera that actually fits in a shirt pocket". Since you're considering the G1X you may not require a really compact camera, and then there may be better options.
