I normally go with mirrorless or an advanced P&S.  Big cameras are okay, but they get heavy and cumbersome at Disney.  That said, if you're not chasing after toddlers, then it should be fine.  I'd...

GX1.  It good enough, smaller and discreet. Just what you need. Manage your expectations with your 3 year old going and enjoy the experience!  I travelled last year with a GX1 and three primes....

Hey Ray!  Funny that we're crossing paths here on the Ricoh forum.  When I saw the GR press release, I thought of you!  You've mentioned for a long time that the GRD is a camera you really like in...

Intriguing camera! I think Ricoh probably has a winner on their hands with this camera and the price.  The Nikon A, Fuji X100, etc. are more pricey, and the Sony RX100 is only a bit less, though...

Lovely light and well captured.  The landscape just as a storm is coming or leaving is so dramatic.  Well seen, and nice to YOU getting out of the city for some fresh air :)

Wormy! Nice to see you're back. Hope work isn't taking too much of your time, and hope to see more images from you on a regular basis.  Thanks for the kind words.  You'd enjoy Yosemite for sure.

I challenged myself to go to Yosemite Valley with the 17mm and 45mm only (plus filters).  Here are some photos from one of my favorite places. 17mm f1.8 shots Dessert (for the only time I stepped...

I like the way you have used horizontal lines/frames to compose these images.  Nice use for of the different horizontal structure of the scenery!

Lovely series of winter photos.  These are stunning!  You also braved some seriously cold weather.

I appreciate that you've taken over.  I guess Tom is MIA, but he might be right to stay away from this madhouse ;)

The second image is a strong composition.  Love the rocks and the blue sky!

Thanks for taking the reigns for now.  I may need to assist more with the handover... SLO

I have a similar system - I use m43 for my discreet/lightweight setup.  Sometimes a big DSLR isn't the right tool, and sometimes it is.  Running dual systems is a good solution for me right now.

Andre, It's my pleasure, and I look forward to Thomas' leadership.  We're in good hands!

Cheers and thanks!

Paul, We've learned from you immensely, and I will continue to study and gain insights from your images.  Thank you for your participation!

Thanks Bob!  We've definitely missed your presence, but have appreciated you and your contributions to the board.  I am taking a sabbatical more than retiring forever is the way I am looking at it....

Geoff -- I've enjoyed our interactions, and look forward to many more.  Thank you for being a positive force on this board.

Thanks Steve!  I have enjoyed your photos and your comments to all the posters.  Many thanks to you too!

Vlad -- it was my pleasure!  I agree it's great to see what our gear is capable of, and help us get beyond our perceived limits to become more creative.
