The ricohs always had something about them ... nice well thought out feature sets, but the reliability was just aweful! The amount of them we had back to the shop for various issues was insane!
They were actually quite hard to sell too, as pro's often wanted nikons, canons etc, and the feutres just werent that beginner oriented ... not to mention the noise those zoom lenes made - they just sounded broken!
 
Well it certainly worked for these. I have had a few of the GR Digitals having had the film GR in the past. Great little camera as long as you don't need speed or good performance in low light. In many ways I still prefer the GR Digital III to the Sony RX100.
 
The Terminator bike shot is my fave vehicle photo. I looked many a times at the GR film i think it was 28mm.
I think a Scottish gent photographed the Highlands with a GR Digital. They were stunning images.
