That'll be awesome - would really like WiFi and better AF in low light.
I'd love to see the GR II with a built in EVF... about time isn't it?
The wifi feature is really very welcome.
I didn't see the need for it until I aquired the Fuji xt1 and have been transferring photos to my mobile phone directly and editing them on the fly using snap seed and posting them to social media!
Very nice feature to have especially when traveling.
Using the Toshiba Flashair wi-fi card in my GR, can transfer photos to my phone wirelessly. There's a bit of a bug with the app on the latest Android Lollipop OS, but it's just a slight workaround to deal with it. Battery life is theoretically affected since I've set the card to turn on for 1 minute after camera start-up. However, it still lasts enough for daily use or travel that I've not noticed bad battery life, and easily dealt with by carrying a spare battery in the pouch. Weighed against the benefit of pulling photos off the card to my phone, it's definitely worth it to me!
How do you find th toshiba air flash. I did a bit of search some time back on this product. review seems to be rather mix. Toshiba air flash is significantly cheaper then eye fi hence was interested to get it for my gf to,use with her em5

It seems the sensor is still the same 16mp sensor.. Processing engine upgraded and with addition of wifi seems to be the main upgrade..
No mention of why there is a slight hump in hotshoe.. But there is added wireless flash capability..
Nothing significant enough for me to upgrade..

Its for the new Wi-Fi antena
The body: While it looks near-identical to that of the earlier camera, the Ricoh GR II's body is just fractionally (2mm) taller, thanks to a new Wi-Fi antenna on its top deck. Overall dimensions are now 117mm wide, 63mm tall and 34.7mm deep with the lens retracted. Weight has also increased just slightly (8g), with the Ricoh GR II tipping the scales at 221g body-only, or 251g loaded and ready to shoot.
