I don't blame you! So many great cameras - and this one is another that keeps grabbing me with its crystal clear clarity! I have to keep repeating to myself "less is more"...
So Archiver if you had to choose just one of these small compacts to keep, which one would it be? Or is that too difficult a choice to make?
Well, first I have to stop myself from buying a GXR with the new 28mm module! The fact that the X100 is another six months away is helping with that.
For better or worse, I currently have these small sensor cameras:
- Canon S45
- Canon S70
- Casio EX-Z750
- Fuji F30
- Canon G7
- Canon G10
- Canon S90
- Ricoh GRD III
If I absolutely had to make a choice and keep just one, it would most likely be the GRD III. Why? Even though the S90 is more versatile, has zoom, creates much better video, it doesn't have the same kind of feel or image quality as the GRD III. I find that the Ricoh produces images that are somehow richer and more natural, even with heavy PP, than the S90. Every Canon compact from the G7 onwards creates more 'plasticky' images than those previous. Even when I process the S90 raws in Lightroom, they don't have the same kind of richness or malleability as the Ricoh DNG's.
Don't even try to ask me to choose from my large sensor cameras!
