Can one... Just try to stick to one body, one lens.. Haha!
 

I've shot this cam with 25/f4 lens and loving it I've done street shooting with and mainly shot ISO6400 and one word "awesome" pix came out great color are accurate DR is very good sensor is awesome. I have some pix full res ooc JPEG no pp done. :-) look darn good. I know folks will tell me crazy did street shot handheld as this cam darn heavy my wrist is now sure lolz. But I like street shooting and this cam is a performer shoot like F7-11 ISO6400 and 12800 as slow as 1/20 the sensor like sponge just suck all light :-)



I think if you can afford the price this is an awesome cam specially for those landscaper every pennies spent is all worth it. No wonder this cam is out of stock now even here in Japan. Spoke to most shop manager they say no dates on the next stock to arrive. So those wanted this now either premium or wait wait.

You are right. Ricoh JPN informed us that the next worldwide stock will only ship out after September. Even those who reserved early didn't get in the first batch.

Sounds nice. I don't mind having one if I'd the time to shoot, especially going oversea to take some nice landscape photos w/ them. Pity I won't have this kind of luxury time in another 4 to 5 years...
 

share pictures please :)

someone already posted my flickr link hehe I guess I didn't put it personal its currently public :-) but you guys can view here these are test shots so please don't bother on the compo or framing etc. Just look at IQ

I spoke to some shops they say no dates given by Ricoh when will be the next wave of stock to arrive. This is Japan shops what more other country? so those getting this locally will may wait a bit more typically they will supply local then US/Europe then the rest of smaller markets in Asia. As we all know Singapore is always in the bottom list of all new model releases :-(
 

will buy one if can take aerial photography... :)
