Ken.vs.ryu; it might happen. I am soooo close to winter break at work.
Michael: let me know when it arrives. There is a lot to be configured - but the good thing is that it can be done. My set up is well thought out - I have had Ricoh for a few years and have had time to figure most of it out, on my own and with some help.
There are a few things that are unique to Ricoh. Like the document \"photo scanning mode\". You can take a picture of, say an LP convolute lying on a desk, from an angle. The camera will process it and straighten it up and crop the background - and it works too!
I have used this feature a few times taking shots of blueprints.
One cool thing with the new fixed lens GRD IV (equiv 28/1.9) is that the electronic spirit level is not only level/tilt, but pivot too. The rear LCD is 1.3M dots on it and is said to be exceptional. Now, that\'s a point & shoot. Also, I think they are going to sell it a lot cheaper than the previous one. Always a good thing.
So, I am starting to think the next generation GXR will be having the modules based on 16MP sensors (M will have to be updated over time as Sony is phasing out the 12MP from production already), the new 1.3M rear LCD (maybe tilting) and hopefully a new OLED EVF a la Sony.
