Guys,
Still hunting down my personal holy grail of a pocketable digital camera.
Swapped my G1 for a GF1 and that was a good move with regards to size, I often use it with the 20mm and have been very happy with the results. But it is not a very small camera and do have to leave it behind sometimes.
I had an LX3 in the past and for whatever reason just couldn't make peace with the camera. So it's gone.
What I want is something that I can carry anywhere, has a fast lens and could be configured to use virtually as a P&S if I want to avoid fiddling. I have no problem is shooting RAW + jpg, but it would be nice to lose the conversion step if the jpegs are suitable. I enjoy shooting B&W with my GF1 (actually my husband asked me if my GF1 "could" shoot color -hah).
So I've fallen into the Ricoh GRDIII vs Canon S95 pit of despond. I'm a little worried that the s95 will remind me of the LX3, but I'm concerned regarding the GRDIII jpegs.
Input appreciated -- folks who have both cams seem to like them.
Actually have a job interview out west next week where I will be touring real estate at one point, would be the perfect time to have a small cam, don't carry a large purse when I'm wearing a suit....
Thanks,
JT
