Well hopefully it was a one off. Replacement on its way already :-)

I've had my GR since Jan (from amazon uk) and today I went to use it only to realise the lens wouldnt come out and the lens "door" is not closed. Anyone seen this before? I've tried taking the battery out. The display comes on but seems to power itself back off when i try to do anything...

Em10. 75mm.

EM10. 75mm.

Thanks for looking Martin! I bet you CAN be tempted ;-) A friend of mine has the RX100 but he loves 28mm and finds he almost never zooms. If you're happy fixed the GR is obviously a better although more expensive option. Good luck tonight! :-)

I got mine a couple of months or so ago and it's the best camera I've ever used. Hopefully it'll be a lesson to all other serious compact makers that you can do something that sort of size and still have fantastic ergonomics and controls.

I'm loving the O75 on the EM10 so far. I don't feel the need for the grip yet either. All in black of course! ;-) I chose the 45 for indoor portraits and 75 for outdoor, which kind of forces me to the Oly 17mm 1.8 next instead of the P20 I think.

The EM10 also has arguably better viewfinder, button feel (due to no sealing?) and layout. The weather sealing might be something you want but will your lens also have it? I also chose it as I liked the smaller size.

Moonmind: We've both got the GR and EM10 and I think it's a great combo :-) I spent the weekend using the EM10 on a family break and I'm really pleased as it did exactly what I wanted from it. Ease of use, superb portrait fast lens (45/75mm 1.8). Lovely IS and face recognition. Ergonomics...

I've just got the EM10. Based on reading your experiences I'd say maybe try one of them but definitely with the grip. It's a fairly small camera so for you I'd go with the grip. I haven't had a problem with the menu system personally. The thing which makes it ok for me is that if you keep...

I was wondering this too as a 17mm 1.8 is on my shopping list.

He shoots everything in P mode too. Good free book at http://www.thomasleuthard.com/Book/GoingCandid.pdf

The GR has pushed me to just try things when I wouldn't have even had a camera on me in the past. Loving that.

Will post pics once I'm up and running. I've got my Ricoh GR for everyday shooting, which is almost always with me. Also if I like this new move into m43 I'll probably look at adding a 17mm and maybe even 75mm eventually. I've spent years photographing family and friends with a Canon 7D and...

I've got one on preorder. My first try of m43. I'm going for it simply because of price and it being a bit smaller than the other OMDs. I wasn't actually fussed about a viewfinder but comparing the size of this to an ep5 I thought why not have the option. I've gone for body only and picking...
