David,Thanks Keith, I just noticed that my favourite RAW program - Aperture - doesn't support the Ricoh
I do have Capture 1 so I suppose...
Yes and yes.I do have a couple of questions:
Is the charger included with camera body purchase?
Is the camera strap included?
Yes, charger and battery are included with the body.I do have a couple of questions:

This is a good point. The A12 28mm camera unit is very nicely optimized and the combination of "Spot AF" and "Full Press Snap" mode makes it a very practical shooting tool for a very wide angle FoV....
Unless you already have M-mount lenses with focal lengths of 18mm or less, you might do well to consider the A12/28mm lens instead of the A12/50. If you're heavily into macro, that would certainly be a consideration, but you'd be less likely to have unwanted duplication if you started out with the A12/28. I own both, and use them both, but am settling down to the 28 as my main lens. ...
+1 ... Mine should arrive in a couple of days.Thanks for the link, David
The Voightlander 40mm 1.4 fits the GXR well, and the images look good. I have one of those
You are right Godfrey, I took the shoulder strap off and put on a wriststrap that I had, much nicer with the small body. May put on the leather strap when it arrives. I think it will be best when I have the A12 mount.I haven't bothered with any LCD protection stuff with any of my cameras. I've never seen any damage happen.
Another strap option is a Gordy's Camera Strap string-type wrist strap. They're beautifully made, very strong, and not expensive. Sometime I prefer that as the neckstrap ... any neckstrap! ... can get in the way. http://www.gordyscamerastraps.com/
Ricoh is a class act. All of their accessories that I've purchased are just as well worked out and as high quality as the GXR. It's been a pleasure to re-discover Ricoh! In ages long past, I bought Ricoh SLR bodies for my camera staff when I was in high school and they were our price workhorse tools. I had the GR1 in the middle 1990s and it was/is a superb compact camera. Now the GXR system ... amazing that this company with its tiny tiny footprint in the consciousness of the photographer community has produced so many good cameras and lenses for so long.Thanks for all the comments. I am loving this GXR and can't wait for the A12 mount to be available, still no word from my UK suppliers on price or availability date.
I received the leather strap today, and it is perfect, pliable and discrete in black. No blazing logos or brand names.
