Quite similar to GR Digital...

Familiar body, similar interface, and same battery but with 24mm-72mm lens...

Yeah, everyone was talking about it. It would be a good complement to GR Digital, but it is GX and just want to see how good the overall performance is by fiddling with the actual camera before consider buying it...

It somewhat resembles to DP1, will Sigma brush-up its compact camera after seeing GX100?

OMG OMG OMG!!!

If the lens and photo quality is the same, plus SNAP mode and other GR D features, this will definitely be on my 'must buy!' list!!!

Okay, I've just looked at the specs, and it has 640x480@30fps movie, as well as Snap mode. If you can turn off the LCD while it is turned on, this camera will be a dream come true.

WTF? No inbuilt lens cover? Argh! It could have been perfect, but then they make it like some stupid Panasonic!

Yeah, the body does look familiar... :)

Anyhow, I really like primes, and that's why I ended up buying the GR... still this looks like a great move for Ricoh and I hope this one gets well sold in the US. They're just so much more well made and usable.

this looks like its gonna make our GRD obsolete for sure!!!

Folks who worry about camera obsolesce should be out taking pictures instead. What cameras other people have don't matter :)

The electronic attachable viewfinder is quite weird. I understand why they did at as there was no room for a zooming viewfinder, but it's still a bit strange.

The 24mm-72mm lens (19mm with conversion) & the viewfinder is the most interesting for me.

I will keep my GRD as long as I can ^ ^

_mpd_  Pro User  says:

From a focal length perspective, 72mm is not a lot of telephoto -- it's actually barely even telephoto :) One of my favorite SLR focal lengths is 85mm, and that's before applying a 1.6x multiplication factor. Even that isn't enough sometimes.

I'm kind of suprised they didn't try to get more range in there.

I suppose they deserve congratulations on not making too many comprimises and putting in a mediocre lens that covered a lot of range but was slower and not as sharp/contrasty.

hirosan  Pro User  says:

Come to think of it , it is no GR as it does not come with GR kens. I want to see significant standings in images over other professional compact cameras. I want to see some samples also...

> Archiver
Yeah, Digltal Natura Black would be awesome! I would probably get one if Fujifilm come up with a compact S series starting at 28mm with 3x or 4x zoom :)
S700 is not even close to what I want!

I heard some people should have the actual product to write a review before it becomes available on the market. I am sorry that I am not the one so I can't tell.

Looks like the successor to the GRD for sure.
I love my GR, but there is always that 'ooh, newer one' factor.
Maybe we will get some amazing firmaware upgrade too!
Better video would be nice...
