I own the GXR with the A12 50mm and I really like it. I was also interested in the A12 28mm or the GRD III leaning more towards the III so I could have a second take anywhere camera. At the time I did not have the funds for either.
I ended up buying a used Sigma DP1 even though I read how hard it was to use but the IQ was really good, it was a lot less than a used GRD III at the time too.
The IQ of the DP1 is amazing when you get a good shot. All the other gripes about it are true.
I recently sold off my remaining DSLR lenses and now I had money burning a hole in my camera bag.The GRD was calling again this time it was the IV.
I ordered one and received it last Friday. Everything about the GRD is better than the DP1 except the IQ in my opinion. I know the sensor size is different but I was planning to sell the DP1 since I don't need two fixed 28mm pocket cams. The GRD is smaller but not that much so pocket-ability or jacket-abilty is the same to me.
So here I am packing up the GRD wondering if it's the right decision to send it back and get something else like the X100 or NEX.
The DP1 is a keeper for me.
Thoughts and opinions appreciated
