Yikes.

I don't see many non-enthusiast P&S users (i.e. Best Buy shoppers) buying many if any Ricoh GR's. The target buyer for Ricoh cameras is pretty narrow for the most part.

Most photos seem to lack detail even at low ISO. They look really soft too, almost as if it was off focus.

Bye bye K01!

Impressive camera! Might have to buy my first Nikon DSLR. I wonder why Nikon kept the ISO button on the left side. Looks like a winner though.

Is the Tamrom an internal zoom? That'd make it a more attractive proposition over the Oly and Pany counterparts.

How many slow "normal" zooms do we need for m4/3? This is about 4 from Pany and about 4 from Oly now? Sigh ...

This is good news, specially for using the 18-55 or any other future zoom lenses when using aperture priority.When using the 18-55 with the XE1, at 55mm and with the OIS "on", the auto-ISO chosen...

Never mind, the website states there IS face detection. Woohoo!

According to the specs, the X20 lhas no face detection AF. Bummer.

If you are used to the speed and accuracy of the OMD and Nikon 1, the XE1 + 35/1.4 is not even close, especially in less than ideal lighting situation. Used to have a V1 and Xpro1, and now have the...

Do a search on Flickr. There's a number of photos already.

Definite plus for face detection on the OMD. Makes off centre portrait photos MUCH easier -- particularly if someone with less experience is using the camera.

You should be able to use the lens cap to unscrew the front ring. Push the cap against the camera, and then turn. That works on my "silver" X100 ... :( Jealous of you folks with the "black" X100. :)

Here's a link to a thread at SeriousCompacts about XE1 compared to the EM5: http://www.seriouscompacts.com/f98/x-e1-vs-e-m5-13424/For me, I like the form of the XE1 better, because I like aperture...

If absolute image quality is what you want, to my eyes, then the XE1 gets the edge.

Glad you are enjoying the new lens! I'm waiting for the 56mm as I'll likely never use the 60mm macro abilities.

Nice! Congrats on the new camera. I'm enjoying mine too. I have an OMD as well.

Is it just me, or are there a LOT of broken links on this thread? More than half of the photos are not showing up.

I just received my XE1 + 35/1.4 this morning. Very nice little camera!I agree with pretty much everything you wrote. Hopefully, Fuji will be reading, and making the proper firmware upgrades to...
