Started this thread some time ago before I got my GR III. Now that I have and have been using it for about 1 week, I must say I am impressed with what this little critter can deliver. While it has replaced my 35 mm f1.8 DX lens, it certainly does not replace my Nikon D80 in difficult and demanding situations.
Wat this camera is is a perfect complement for my DSLR when one does not wish to carry a bulky DSLR for simple social events such as a party or dinner outing. The 28 mm f1.9 lens just shines in those indoor and poorly lit settings. Also because the appearance is so incognito, it allows me to shoot without drawing much attention and curious stares from strangers. I am just another commuter with a compact camera. PRICELESS!!
The macro mode is impressive with a f1.9 aperture, beautiful bokeh is easily achieved and makes shooting objects (eg. Food) very fun. Again, cos u are not using a DSLR with a dedicated macro lens, waiters and other diners wont think u are a wacko. Maybe I am just too self-conscious.
Features I think are Fantastic: Auto WB, Manual Controls Customisation, Manual Controls Buttons.
What I dont Like: Price..........but there is a price for convenience.
