To me it just looks like Leica has nothing new to announce, so they come up with ways to appear in the news :)

I know, I assume too much :)
In any case - I don't think there is any internal space left for a pop-up viewfinder in a such compact camera of this sensor size + IBIS + retractable lens.
Though...

Ah yes - I do agree, in bright light EVF helps a lot! Let's hope the screen on RicohGR has enough brightness/less reflectivity for situations like these.

Exciting new additions:
* IBIS! - I sometimes shoot when mountain biking - or at night - IBIS will be of great help.
* 24 MPix - really welcome, can now crop to 35mm without much loss of quality.
*...

Precision equipment treated badly by putting in a trouser pocket? This is not a telescope or a laser, it is not really a "precision equipment" for a science lab. What are you talking about at all?...

I see from the camera top photo that TAv is still on the mode dial. So how is it gone?

A bit of an emotional overreaction, @thomy?

@pro photo 2011, not tired yet of posting the same thing on every GR thread about your random $399 price for GR?
You don't understand the target audience of this camera - and your spec for spec...

It will have plenty of space for your thumb now since they removed a few controls: exposure adjustment buttons and a flip switch.

Never did. Shame? I personally never needed one. What's the obsession with EVF?

@OremLK
Neither of those cameras you mentioned are comparable in the size department - even with a pancake lens. You won't be able to put either of them into your blazer pocket. And they have...

What's the weather sealing for in a city street? Or even in nature? What, are you dipping the cameras so often into water - by accident or not?

What's the obsession with EVF? Even on RX1R I am using it rarely - and definitely not for fast-moving street photography. Same on Panasonic GX80 - though the EVF is obnoxious on that one, but...

@pro photo 2001, Ricoh GR was never sold in numbers like others because it is a niche product and has a very specific target audience. Hence the price can be higher - as it was before - and will...

Keep dreaming, it won't be near $399, the price is unrealistic - especially given the prices GRI and GRII were at initially.
My guess would be around $800.

$399? :)) Initial price of GRI and GRII was around $600 if I remember correctly. Do you seriously expect it in 2018 to be lower? Keep dreaming. If anything, prices are increasing - both due to...

Your canon?

Why would you want 2 card slots?

They have great support, fixed my leaf shutter and did not charge even camera was supposedly out of 1Year warranty, but still under 2 year EU warranty.

Just crop to 40mm. You'll be fine with 24mpix.
