Um, yes, great photos, but please remember the whole thing is contrived. He said it himself, homelessness by choice. So keep in mind that the photos that at first stir up emotions similar to Afghan Girl, photos seemingly of poor victims of circumstance, are actually snapshots of people on vacation.
As an owner of a real Pentax MX, I would like to love this camera, but I just can't get interested in anything smaller than APS-C.
Awesome! All three of these guys rule!!
Matt1645f4: where eer you go in this world, the rich get richer the poor get poorer......
No actually the poor are not getting poorer. It's just that they suffer from crippling jealousy. Meh.
Are there any improvements to AF performance with faster lenses? Not that it really needs it, just wondering if I should bother with this update.
Trollshavethebestcandy: Meh. (shrugs shoulders)
I'll bet marike6 wants to ban this word too.
there's a sucker born every minute, and someone is going to sell them a superzoom.
1/1.7" sensor... yawn.
JohnyP: Another useless preview. In the last 30 days there have been 2 camera reviews! Most cameras are either announced or previewed. Those previewed ones are likely to end up just like Nikon D4 - previewed and forgotten.
There is a lot of information in these previews. You just have to read it and think for yourself. You sound like most average people, who need to be spoon fed information, and need their conclusions drawn for them.
Why does the DP1 look so bad at every ISO?

Just spent 4 days at Disney with an X100S. It was awesome, but there were definitely a significant number of times that I was wishing I also had a Nikon A in my other pocket. This Ricoh fills the bill even better. I wouldn't trade my X100S for anything, but this would be the perfect companion.
FOUR stars? I think Ms. Crabbe was just excited to be given a free toy to review. This thing is obviously garbage.
d3xmeister: Comprison widget, and gallery slideshow not compatible with iOS. really dpreview, are you in 2013 or 2006 ?
you've got it backwards again. iOS needs to support Flash.
Timmbits: I'd much rather have a camera like this with a 45mm/50mm equivalent lens on it. Less distortion, more natural look to the photos. Recently, the attitude has been adopted also with the RX1, that if you want 50mm-equivalent all you have to do is crop your photos, especially with it's resolution. But I beg to differ: what is being overlooked is that with digital technology we can do panorama now... so why not have a wide-angle mode too, where only two images are stitched together? The advantages would be obvious: you have your wide-angle view, yet the less distortion of a 50mm lens.
For this reason, I'm eyeing the X-E1 with the 35mm f1.4 lens.
You've obviously never shot with a 35mm lens. Photos look natural and there is no distortion unless you are trying to do a tight portrait, which you just shouldn't do on 35mm. 50mm is cool, but often feels like tunnel vision.
WolfyWho: Is it just me, or does the OMD beat all 3 of the others in this test in terms of sharpness? What am I missing? There's definitely more dynamic range in the X100s that I can see, compared to the OMD.
Just apply some contrast and/or levels in post and the X100s will match the Olympus. Otherwise, the Oly can't go in your pocket and has no OVF. The X100s can't change lenses. What matters more to you?
wait... people are still using GooglePlus?
I'm a Canon shooter and this is just dumb. What possible market gap is this filling?
Sigh. I had this camera on pre-order. But then I had to buy a 300/2.8 for baseball season. The 300/2.8 will pay for itself, but the wife cannot quite wrap her head around that. If I brought home yet another new toy I'd be in the dog house deep. Enjoy folks, guess I'll get one next year.
This is what happens when designers are underemployed.
