I'm lazy too haha and not good at PP. I'm in the mood of more sat pictures, so it's me likely, in transition to less sat
So far Ricoh jpeg are very good, though I prefer Raw files colors for portraits. S10 has nice star burst!

I remembered when I posted about the GXR sometime back in the "Pentax" forum, I got panned. Now the forum has become Pentax/Ricoh and I see Pentax bros getting the GXR and S10. kekeke
It was JPEG. Autotoned in LR4 (but I didn't like the increased in exposure which I lowered), resized/bordered in CS4.

Does anyone have an opinion on the A16 24-85 module?
Currently using the GXR A12 M-Mount.
Like to check with you guys what power settings you use for street photography? What I do is I set it up with "Auto-Power Off" set to OFF and "Sleep" set to 1 MIN.
Is there other more efficient settings where one can conserve battery yet be ready to shoot as and when needed?

I can't say I have the best settings. I usually leave it on just let sleep after certain time (by default, I did not change timing, maybe is 1 min). I'm comfortable with sleeping after 1 min. There is no way to keep the camera cool even using with the EVF. My way to conserve batt are dim down LCD brightness, shorter sleep time and cut down on reviewing photos. (having mentioned the above, I still don't think it will substantially save batt power.)

I sold my GXR system some months ago - it was under-utilised.
But this is one of my favourite shot from the A12 28mm - that one is really a wonderful lens unit.
Donald, thanks for the post.
Andrew, can't comment, never had it. I think it's got to be good but I am sure a manual zoom ring may quicken operation. But that'll surely add to its current bulky size for a supposedly compact setup.
Gee thanks! The dimming of the LCD may be one method I may explore further. The battery life is really sucky though
I seem to have to charge after every 2 days (and we're talking about just keeping it on for an hour on my kind of settings). Nevertheless its certainly a joy to use~

no prob. its a nice camera but i just dun use it frequently enough to justify holding on to it. i like the aps-c modules - they're really good for low ISO shots but the 50mm's AF is pretty slow.
Munual zoom ring might be nice but will not have the convience of doing zoom and shoot using one hand like a compact camera. A16 like the S10, can set up step zoom to move to the set focal length. The A16 is big but handling wise with the camera is good. The whole set up feels very well balanced, not heavy and can operate with one hand comfortably, don't have the feeling the camera or the lens weight down at front.
Nice ... don't you love the M-mount module? 42-43mm? PERFECT!
I think that's what I do too.. best is to have spares.
Erhem ... Des kenna poisoned!
