Review: The 2013 Ricoh GR digital V – Ming Thein | Photographer. Sounds very promising. Right now, the Coolpix A is the star, but this one also sounds pretty good. I'm still considering whether I should get a real compact camera instead of the MFT with the 14mm lens - just because it's smaller. A Ricoh would suit me well, especially since I still use the GRD II and am familiar with the user interface.

Ricoh GXR A12 Field Report - just when you think you've made your decision, someone comes along and throws everything up in the air again, and you have to sort it all out from the beginning. Sure, the NEX 5n, which I favor, probably has the better overall features - but the lack of an anti-aliasing filter really appeals to me, as does the fact that microprisms are also used here to optimize imaging with M optics. Well, I'll have to ponder a bit longer. But even after the article, it will probably remain with the NEX system - because with the M8 I already have a compromise camera, the GXR doesn't really deliver much more beyond that - and the technical gimmicks (video and panoramas) are just fun with the NEX. Especially since the linked text suggests that the 5n also has a rather weak AA filter.

Ricoh GR Digital IV Preview: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review. Suddenly, my nice little old GRD II looks outdated. Wow. The image stabilization is particularly interesting - sure, at 28mm you don't need it, but in low-light situations it would sometimes be really nice. And the even higher resolution screen is not to be sneezed at. Built-in HDR and the fact that the tilt sensor not only detects horizontal rotation but also front/back tilt (tilt) comes into play as well. What the hybrid AF actually brings remains to be seen - I never really had problems with it. The GRD III was, in my opinion, only a marginal update, but the GRD IV sounds really good.
