Anybody seen this bird? Check it out at http://www.ricoh.com/r_dc/caplio/gx100/
Anybody know a price on this? looks like the same form factor as a rangfinder. Intriguing.

Akiva,
I bought one from Popflash as soon as it became available. They still have some in stock. Sharp lens - love the 25mm wide angle, fast lens at its lowest zoom setting. Seems very sharp with very nice pix from large files - jpegs are 10MB. Will know more after more use. The add-on viewfinder is useless to me with my old eyes. Although its has a built-in diopter correction the image never seems very sharp to me, and it is so tiny that it is easy to overlook major elements in the field. None of this applies, of course, to the large screen built in to the bacl of the camera.
