Ahhh, Canon trying to stem the tide of people moving to compact mirror-less systems, whilst not killing their EF lens cash cow...

Not impressed - but I understand why they are pushing this solution

If I buy one of those small EOS cameras my lenses will be bigger and heavier than the camera. A camera lighter than my 5D MKII would be nice on some of the backpacking trips I do or when traveling. But image quality would have to be really good before it would be worth it for me to go for it.

probably what they should have released instead of the g1x.. but i think i'll keep the fujis.

Sounds like a job for the Canon 6D for you then, smaller & lighter with more or less the same pixels but in a compact body plus WiFi built in to boot should you ever need it.
