I recently received a new Ricoh GR camera which did not recognize my media cards, nor would it charge the battery....
I liked the feel of the camera and other features, from what I could determine in a single evening of toying with it... but it must be returned due to the stated issues.
Which brings me to my question. Since I'm returning the GR, I have the opportunity to choose a replacement GR or... to choose a Sony RX1.
Setting aside the (considerable) cost difference and the (moderate) difference in focal length, for this discussion, I would greatly appreciate hearing your viewpoints on how these two cameras compare as compact, fixed-lens "cameras of convenience" intended to capture images with very high image quality with minimal burden of size or weight. I don't need exceptional focus speed nor exceptionally tiny size... just very compact but still yielding very good IQ and a joy to use.
Should I go for the gusto (RX1) or stick with getting a replacement GR?
