I sold my M9 and bought this module.
Kinda makes sense.

Definitely in terms of bang for buck.
What would be really nice is if Ricoh bought up some of the leftover Nikon D700 sensors and used them for a fullframe module. I would willingly pay for that module, especially when that sensor has great ISO noise characteristics.

I'd love that idea too. Wouldn't mind paying close to the price of a D700 either if they could just make it a reality. So much promise in this area.

I brought the M Mount Module today... and this is the best money I have ever spent on an electronic camera.
I have brought a few M43 cameras and tried the nex, but they don't excite me like the GXR Mount. This certainly feel more like a camera! I just wish the body is heavier so it feels more balance when using Leica lenses.
A boring indoor picture, but I really like how the color turned out. I used a HDR software to give it a little punch and edit nothing else. My cheap excuse to ignore film for a while, hehe.
28mm Summicron ASPH wide open.
I like how the GXR render indoor scenes. I definitely get better exposure with this than my M43 cameras in the past.
The noise are surprisingly pleasing, much like the GRD.
Quick question:
I wonder do any of you have experiences with the 18mm F/4 Zeiss lens? I am looking for a 28mm equivalent and seems like only Zeiss provide this option.
But for that money, I could probably get a A12 28mm GR Lens instead, though I would dislike the shutter speed limitation when shooting wide open, and do not like putting an ND filter on it.
I am excited about this new toy. I just need more free time for myself now!

haha I'm also looking for the button!Where's the unlike button?
Just got the GXR+M mount module today. Can't wait to test it but it's late already. So my cat RUBIK became the first test target
Here is a quick shot: (ISO800, dim, indoor lighting; not used to the pix/LCD's brightness hence shot was under-exposed a bit. More noise are visible at a result.)
Here is an enlarged image (about 67% I think):
I must say that I'm really happy with this system.

Just to add about my own experience with this combo: I have strong myopia so when I take out my glasses, I can focus using the GXR's LCD screen comfortably at natural distance (like ~10cm from my eyes). The great thing about this GXR is that: I can see if subject is in focus or not very clearly without having to use the various focus assist features (like peaking, centre-zoom, etc. all very slow and inconvenient to me.) And WISIWIG! This is NOT the case when I did the same thing with E-P2 and NEX-5. It's like the GXR's LCD is factory-calibrated to my myopic eyes Seriously, I get a lot more in-focus shots (esp. off-centre ones) with the GXR than my M9. How I wish it is FF or at least 1.3X then I would sell my M9-P HAHA...
For those who need to move the LCD much further from you eyes, whatever I experience may not be applicable at all. So caveat: YMMV.

Chua, you have v steady hands n good skills. With the 1.5. factor, all yr lenses effectively become short tele. So yr pix give an impression that you r just stand far away and snap something you feel nice. Aiyo you too shy lah. Try wider angler lens and move nearer. 敢敢来。

oh, you dun use the EVF? i haven't got a chance to touch a GXR yet. but for EVFs, i dun have good experiences with them before. which is why i'm in 2 minds whether to swap my m8 for the GXR.
