The new Canon G1 X and Fujifilm X-Pro1 (notice the Xs and the 1s?) are neck-to-neck in popularity, at least going by the number of clicks on dpreview website. Yesterday, they were tied at 11.4 per cent and remained tied most of the time today at 12.7 per cent, occupying the top two spots of dpreview’s popularity table, with the G1 X emerging top on ‘alphabetical advantage!’

This comes just days after the announcement of the two cameras, which cannot be said to be of the same league. The G1 X is cheaper, at US$800, but promises DSLR-quality images while the X-Pro1, with interchangeable lens, promises versatility, resolution as well as image quality.
It will be interesting to see which one of these two losing the steam first!
