The Ricoh GR family, I still shoot the GR1v film version which is a tribute to the designers at Ricoh- a classic camera.
I have had a film GR1v for some time and it was one of the most impressive compact ever made, the lens was amazingly sharp so when I had the opportunity to try the Ricoh GR digital I was pretty keen.
The colors are rich and punchy with plenty of tonal range as the files are DNG- perfect for Lightroom and Photoshop.Handles detail well although it would be nice if the sensor was the new Sony Exmor 24mp rather than the old 16mp one from the NEX-5. Time for an update.Black and white is pretty amazing and the AF although not lightning fast is OK.The lens is sharp and will close focus but why would you not have a viewfinder? This camera screams for one.The close focus is excellent.
Subtle details are rendered nicely by the APS-C sensor and the f2.8 lens.
