Hey all! I've been using these now for a little bit and from the get go - I actually love both of them. Having had heartburn with EVF/OVF-less cameras in the past, I've slowly started to get past that personal problem (same with power zooms, especially since I've embraced the stepped zoom)...

So I had time to have a little play today with the two cameras and the "Angel of Lens Testing" - this is a memorial statue in the Holy Trinity churchyard in Guildford. Both cameras were set identically - aperture priority at f2.8, Vivid, with focus on the face of the statue. I focused and...

I thought this recent interview with Alfa Romeo was pretty interesting. Ricoh/Pentax has said it before, but they are doubling down on manufacturing not for the masses, but for serious hobbyists and those who know what they want. I think the GR III success has cemented this strategy for them...
