Hi today I took the jump from the old SeriousCompacts forum (westrikr) and signed-on here.
I'm also active on the RicohForum since I'm an GX100 and R5 owner.
I like the advantage of a small camera over an DSLR although I also own one with a good number of lenses. And to be honest my Canon DSLR will stay (if only Canon would make some Pancakes like Pentax has)...
I've been on the brink on the Micro 4/3rds (EPL-1) and am seriously considering Ricoh's GXR but the size compared to a real compact and lack of the 28mm pancake (should be near) is keeping me from it today. I do like the recent advancements in the real small sensor compacts like the recent Sony and Fuji models (Pro Focus & high-speed dynamic range), but this is also a wait and see today.
So my serious compact is the GX100 for now, okay its high-ISO is not that good. Its lens is not that fast, but its handling is superb. And I love the step-zoom, snapfocus, and RAW capabilities.
