If you are looking for a decent small walk about digicam with superwide angle, a
right angle viewfinder with RAW ability the GX100 will be your choice. But if your priority
is on lower noise level in low light, the range from Fuji beat the hell out of its competitor.
However one cannot have everything at the moment. Let the manufacturers slowly sort
out the needs of the compact digicam users. One thing for sure is that most pro photogr
will want to have the GX100 as a backup and at the same time use it as a bring it
everywhere cam.
Here is one example of GX100 capabilities at low light. It was taken handheld at about
8.30pm in the evening where the sky is in complete darkness. ISO was at 400 with
the 24mm lens wide open. The image is straight out of the camera without any post
processing.
My opinion after using the cam for about a month is, there is no compact camera in
the market right now that can offer what the GX100 has.

I cant succumb to the temptation and just bought my kit from MS color today at 999 :thumbsup: I love it :heart: but still cant beat my eos 30D :bsmilie:
I now have both the GX100 and LX2.
Both are great cams but my preference is towards GX100.
Found the Crumpler $2m a good bag to house the GX100 + the 19mm lens mounted on the adapter.
I'm now mainly using the LX2 for underwater snapshots since the GX100 is too big to fit into my existing underwater plastic bag.

haha.. if weekh's interest in underwater photography is limited to pool shots of kids, then not worth to get the dedicated casing....
hi guys,
thanks for your answers previously.
i finally got my GX-100.
got it from a fellow clubsnapper in BUY/Sell corner.
just a question, when focusing or when u half press the shoot button.
while its focusing, it is normal for the camera to give out the squeezing sound?

This seems to be normal for Ricoh DC. You may find more information from dprevew.com Ricoh forum.
Check these for some comparison.

The GX100 seems to be having the advantage of zoom capability and Raw write while GRD with its
fixed 28mm lens has a slight edge in image quality.

Used the GX100 on a recent Hong Kong trip:

i agree...the gx100 is so compact to bring it anywhere and btw...i really enjoyed ur hongkong series.
Wee, as usual... excellent pics! Made me feel like getting a GX100 myself and bring my family to HK Disneyland...
We can help you better if you can direct more specifically your idea on the area of performance of the two brand. You have to name the specific Leica compact vs Ricoh GX100.
Performance in:
1. Lens quality
2. Zoom range of lens
3. Largest Aperture available on lens (lens speed)
4. IS0 range and noise level
5. Ultra wideangle availability
6. Viewfinder for low ground level photography
7. Closest macro focusing ability
8. Size and weight of the camera
9. Battery life and screen size
Once you have the answer, you will be more ready to jump onboard using this little black magic devel.
