Nice set, and I love no. 5 Mike. But the cloning in no. 6 is a bit obvious!

Wow Jules, it's like a revolving door with you and your cameras! Admit it... you just missed this forum, didn't you?

The days of the Konica Autodate Hexar are well behind us, Algi.
The soberness and retro qualities of the GR are currently de rigeur (look at how Fuji have turned themselves around). But I think the GR is more timeless than the Fuji x's... which I find a little bit too chintzy in their faux rangefinder look.
The GR is more manly looking. GRRR!

Yep, Algi, all those hip street shooting cameras have very sober, 'stealthy' bodies, which is exactly the look Ricoh are going for. Have a look at the latest Fuji cameras. They actually don't have any logos AT ALL on the front of the camera. These are enthusiasts cameras for enthusiasts who know what they want, not people looking for a P&S.
I'm glad Ricoh have kept with the consistent styling of the GR range, and made the thing blacker than Hotblack Desiato's spaceship.
I mean it's so black! You can hardly even make out its shape. Light just falls into it.

Like this... you can see the clumsy edit I've made to lengthen the stalk...

For me those are too tight, but agree with Deryn's comment that a slightly tighter crop than the original would work better.

Yep for the initiated, and people who have read the reviews and understand this camera, the subtle GR branding is a plus. Whereas for noobs, anything other than Canon or Nikon on the front would probably be a deterrent to purchasing, unfortunately.

Hi Deryn - I suppose the benefits of a fixed focal length are size, speed and lens sharpness... the sort of reasons you might want to use a prime lens. The Ricoh GR series have always been fixed focal length and many photographers seem to like that sort of simplicity. It's become a bit of a cult camera for street photographers.
As for the viewfinder, making it optional means you don't need to have it if you want to avoid the additional size and expense.
