I can't believe I hesitated so long in trying out the Ricoh. It was mainly due to the 28mm FL, which I find a bit too wide for normal use. But the lens, UI, and sheer pleasure of the colors and tones makes up for it. The images from the GRDIII make the dlux4 shots look so "digital" and coarse IMO (yes, I have shot with the dlux4 since the camera was first introduced, and gotten many keepers with it).
The GRDIII images look very film-like, and reminds me of the Sigma DP images, without the color issues and sluggish speed, all in a 1/1.7" sensor. The Ricoh folks really hit a home run with this camera. I am so impressed that now the GRX/A12 is getting tempting...
