But the question is, does anyone have stock? --Archiver - Loving Every Image Captured Alwayshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/archiver/

Any word on an Australian release date?  B&H say the 15th, Pentax-Ricoh says the 24th.  And Australia usually get cameras 2-4 weeks after the US.

If Nikon are creating lenses this pricey, maybe they are looking ahead to better models in the 1 series.

Two years ago, I stayed in Shiodome, about one or two stops short of Ginza on the Tokyo loop line.  It's a business district so the hotels cater to foreigners on business, rather than on holiday. ...

Recalibrating expectations to early June ... recalibrating ... grrrrr.

Super work.  The black and white work is particularly good, like the composition of the bicycles and the person beside them.  Are you using a 50mm Summicron?  And how do you like the handling of...

There are quite a few people who have the GR on preorder, myself included.  When it hits the ground there will be a lot of new owners on the forum, not just one or two.  That's assuming there is no...

Very interesting. If this is essentially an EM-5 without the EVF, I'll most likely get one. I barely use the EVF in my EM-5 as it is, and the EVF hump gets in the way sometimes.

I'm wondering whether the GR will completely replace the GRD III for me, or if I will continue to use the GRD III alongside, or as backup.  It appears that I'm of another line of thinking, as I...

One issue with the wider lenses is that more and more appears to be in focus when using peaking modes.  It takes a bit of practice and often luck to get something mid-range in focus, especially if...

As much as I like my F30, I have to say that cameras like the Canon S90 and onwards are better on a number of levels.  Wider lens, faster aperture, better movie mode, even faster to start and...

Given that Ricoh patented a 28/2.8 equivalent lens for a micro four thirds size sensor, and a 28/2.5 equivalent lens for aps-c, you'd be quite right in saying that.  Because of those patents, a few...

It would be rather sad if the GXR were to be discontinued without any further updates.  Conceptually different and operationally decent, the GXR unfortunately did not make it into the mainstream...

I can't speak for the Pentax DSLR's or lenses, but I can speak for Canon aps-c and full frame cameras like the 40D and 5D Mark II. From the samples that are emerging on flickr and the internet in...

B&H apparently have said May 15th.

That is strange.  I have the ZM 25 and it's very sharp on both the M9 and GXR.  The rear element of the 25 does not protrude any more than the ZM 21 or CV 15/4.5, both of which are also very sharp...

I preordered mine via the B&H affiliate link on Serious Compacts ten minutes after I saw it posted.

YES.  That's the perfect description.  Transparency, a sense of smooth clarity, as if you were looking through a window without glass, as it were. So why is this absent from the Merrills?  I was...

I'd be very happy with a 50mm GR as long as it was as compact as the 28mm GR.  My preorder would be in as soon as it was announced, if they made one.

I have the DP1 and DP2, which I love for the image quality and look that they produce.  They have an almost HDR look with heaps of dynamic range.  They handily beat any small sensor camera for...
