For Rafa:
After debating with myself for a year, I bought me a new camera. I wanted a small camera with a high image quality. In the end I had to decide between the Fuji X100s and the Ricoh GR. A retailer had both cameras, so I could compare them side by side.
I went with the Ricoh. It´s a fixed lens, APSC size sensor, compact camera. I think it´s the smallest APSC camera on the market. It fit in a IH westernshirt pocket. For this size, the image quality is amazing. Full review on dpreview: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/ricoh-gr .
Here some pics:

dope pics steffen! thanks for sharing…also thanks for sharing the info on your new cam.
makes me want to sell my D5000 with 50mm 1.8 and get something smaller i can carry around and shit...

if someone should be interested...i'm all ear

[ChuckDenim]

That´s the point, I really love your pics but I never would carry around a DSLR as my daily camera.
The good thing for us selftimer shooters is the fixfocus mode, where you can set the focus distance and a customizable selftimer, where you can set time and number of pics.
I also like the in-camera-raw-processing and the effects.

@derivative666: Here some high ISO pics. AF in low light is useful but not really fast.
ISO 1600

ISO 3200

ISO 6400

If you want really amazing low light performance, you have to go with a Fuji X 100s.

Been shooting with a Leica M8 800 ISO max. The GR will make a great substitute. Because if it doesn't fit in my pocket. I will most likely not be carrying it.  Urb mentioned the X100S to me as well but, it's significantly larger then GR.  You all know what they say "the best camera is the one you have on you"

Ricoh GR

^in camera high contrast b&w or is it done in post.

[ChuckDenim]

In camera raw processed.

[Finn666]

shit is crazy…got me lusting for a GR (even more now)

[urbanwoodsman]

I have the natural leather Roberu camera strap but it's quite large and takes up a lot of space in my bag. Also, you can't quickly tale it off like on this one.

I know this just comes down to personal preference but I'm not sure which color to get. I feel like black is the obvious because it's not a loud color, but having a camera around your neck is a loud situation already. But I am a sucker for red and camo, so….

Red, Black, or Camo?

[Finn666]

i'd go all-in and go with camo…since wearing a cam is loud already, why slow down on the strap!?

[derivative666]

Black

Mom´s cat…Ricoh GR
