Digital P&S user out of the closet

[d2mini]

I just picked up a hardly used ricoh gx100 on ebay with viewfinder for $520. The plastic is still on the screen!

I was looking for a p&s for when i don't feel like dragging around the big boys.

Really looking forward to shooting with it!

I have to agree the handling of the Fuji F30 isn't great but it's probably the same as most tiny digicams. The images it produces are very good though. However the camera I prefer to pick up is my Canon G7, shown here with it's new grip. It's near rangefinder feel makes it my first option most of the time and despite it's knockers it produces nice pix.

Nice grip. Where did you get it? And the black accessory ring? I'm thinking of spray-painting mine - is that what you have done?

Regards,

Bill

Biomed I am seriously impressed with the TZ-3 images. Those Leica lenses really cut the mustard,

Ricoh Corp. has announced an evolutionary update to its popular GR Digital, which has been on the market for exactly two years, since October 2005. Called the GR Digital II, the new camera features logical updates such as a 1/1.75-inch CCD with 10.01 million effective pixels, a 2.7-inch, 230,000-pixel display with a high 160º viewing angle, and a new processing engine said to "dramatically" improve high-ISO noise performance. It has the same excellent, fast, 6-element in 5 group 28mm-e ƒ/2.4 lens as its predecessor. Other features include .dng RAW, a native square format feature like that found on the GX100, customizable B&W modes, and electronic leveling with visual or audible confirmation. New accessories include a new teleconverter lens that makes the lens into a 40mm equivalent (right), and a new external viewfinder. Write times for RAW have been improved from 11 seconds to 3.8 seconds, and you can now take a second picture in RAW while the first is still writing. RAW capture works in the camera's square format, too.
Availability is said to be set for a month or two from now.

The TZ-3 lens is what sold me on the camera. It works very well in most situations. IMHO, the ISO should not be set above 200. I keep mine set at ISO 100 90% of the time.
