Price is a problem for that kind of camera, sure enough. I looked at the L1 and (couldn't test it) I find it really ugly (shiny consumer finish) against the very nice GR/GX finish. Ricoh also has one of those weels I love on SLRs.
Too bad Iso performance is only so, so... Extrnal flash possibility is quite cool :) RAW possibility is the most important. I prefer having it even slow rather than faster Jpeg operation. Lightroom deserves RAW input :) I'll see in the future, newer computer is more important at the moment, but I'll keep an eye on those Ricoh cameras. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
