Because of my favourable experiences with the Ricoh GR film camera,
I looked at the digital version, the GR Digital, but the very high
price and absence of an optical viewfinder put me off it. When
I read the specifications of the GX, this camera seemed to be even
more appealing with its 28mm wide zoom and great versatility in such
a tiny package. Better yet, I bought it at a considerable discount as
having an intermittent fault, something that hasn't yet bothered me.
