erm . . . why?Get a GR-D II.
That's what I would get if I didn't already have a D-Lux 3.
At least I've explained, but I wouldn't have thought that they were strictly in competition (the D-lux3 and Tthe GR-DII)

Yeah, but it's not practical to use the zoom with them, as you'd have to carry a bunch around with you all the time and swap them out.BTW, the GX-100 can be used with an optical viewfinder. I have the EVF and prefer optical viewfinders.
Funny how everybody keeps going about the steep price of the GRDII, well here in my place the GX100 is actually 30€ more expensive...GO FIGURE- The GRDII is definitely the cool choice (and more expensive)..:angel:
and we all have to feel sorry for you . . . . . .because you live in the Canary Islands?!!!!!:toocool:Funny how everybody keeps going about the steep price of the GRDII, well here in my place the GX100 is actually 30€ more expensive...GO FIGURE
GRDII:518€ ; GX100:548€. I have been told by other members that this prices are a bit high anyway (at least the GX100 is).

Take one, and you've got the same as the GRDII . . . then use the back for the extras. I agree that the EVF is rubbish though.Yeah, but it's not practical to use the zoom with them, as you'd have to carry a bunch around with you all the time and swap them out.
Ah the badass factor! I give in E - you'd better just go for the 'badass' oneThe GR-D II is just more badass with its "I Yam Whatta Yam" prime lens. It's like my one-pickup Fender Esquire guitar. Only a camera. :thumbs: :lecture:

Oh! The badass factor, how on earth could I forget to ponder that!!!!Ah the badass factor! I give in E - you'd better just go for the 'badass' one
:salute:
Of course, you could simply get both of them:Oh! The badass factor, how on earth could I forget to ponder that!!!!
This is definetely going to make my purchase much easier guys..:clap:
kmon, Guy, will you close this thread, puleeze?? This hurts.

Hmmm. only the badass factor I think.Hi Jono,
you've really got me thinking now about what I want in a compact camera! Here are the key aspects I'm aware of/considering... if anyone can see anything I'm missing, please let me know
Sigma DP1 vs Ricoh GX100
Sensor size :
DP1 wins on Dynamic Range, clean low ISO images, high ISO B&W
GX100 wins on high DOF, high ISO colour, macro performance
Camera ergonomics :
GX100 wins on size, handling, speed... mature and polished product
Plus, I can buy a GX100 today for less than half the price of a Sigma DP1 which won't be available for another 2 or 3 weeks...
Have I missed anything?
Kind Regards
Brian
Well, since I'm going on your recommendation (and that of other forum members I trust) on the ergonomics, I will probably go with the GX100 and consider the GRDII next...Of course, you could simply get both of them:
the GRDII when you want to look badass (like Maggie)
the GX100 when it's the sad old fool look you're after (me of course).
