Hi everyone!

I figure it can't hurt to let Ricoh know where their products are in demand. Obviously we are a small sample, but maybe somebody will hear us!

I am waiting to buy a Ricoh here in California. But I'll probably buy online out of state to avoid the sales tax.

Seems to be completely out of stock over here in Sweden as well as in many other parts of the EU. I got one from a private seller in UK (unused) and hopefully it will be delivered this weekend.

Seems Ricoh hit the nail with this camera. I just sold my X100 (which I will miss a lot) to get one - need the portability and I am pretty curious about Ricohs famous user friendly (and customizable) interface.

It's worth the wait and you'll like it once you get the hang of the customized settings, very responsive as well in my opinion.
 
I'm just starting since I placed my order today. As an owner of the original GRD I know it'll be worth the wait.

Glad to see the Ricoh interface is famous for being friendly and customisable - it is all true.

Obviously Ricoh underestimated demand and are struggling to make enough cameras. Frustrating for those that don't have one yet, re-assuring for those that have carried the Ricoh flag for some time against the tide of the naysayers.

Great! Congratulations :) I can't wait to see some photos from the camera! I am selling a lens to get this camera :)
 
I'm in the same boat. Actually just put my RX100 up for sale :)
 
yep.....

More frustrating that I've already had the GR for over a month, and the GH3, GW3 wide adaptors are still not available in US/Canada!

I refuse to buy inflated eBay pricing without local warranty.

I personally got the GR after I sold my RX100, I've used the 28mm equivalent on the RX100 more than the other focal lengths for a small upgrade fee I thought the GR was a good choice. Funny how the Ricoh uses not only the Sony sensor but the LCD as well just as good as the Rx100.
 
Wow I'm really sorry to hear that you have been waiting so long! I saw a couple opportunities to buy but I wasn't quick enough.. and I was deliberating between another camera!
