The Sigmas, as stellar as they are, tend to confine you to no higher than ISO 200 for peak performance (the limitation of present-generation Foveons), in addition to the aforementioned pocketful of batteries. You\'ve said that you dig 28mm and for the price (now between $600-699), the Ricoh is unbeatable in terms of stunning performance, portability an haptics (it\'s so great as is, what difference does it make if there\'s an upgrade coming soon? There\'s always one waiting for the ned Photokina). It shares the exact same sensor as the Coolpix but that\'s about it. Seems to do B&W better (from the output, I\'d say that\'s what it\'s optimized for) if that\'s your preference too. The user menu on the GR is easy-peezey and infinitely optimizable.
