It looks nice on paper - cheaper than key competition and not obviously poorer.


I am still left wondering whether an e.g. E-PM2 or E-PL5 with 14/2.5 would be a better choice - or something with a smaller sensor and a zoom (e.g. S110 p330 G15 or P7700).

 

I wouldn't think twice ! I'd go for the Ricoh vs a MFT system (f/4.2 vs f/5, probably that super sony sensor) if you intend to go for a single lens solution, given the AF is as good as advertized. I guess I'd still miss the touch screen AF.

 

I'd dump the smaller sensors you listed, frankly, they'll all feel like pieces of cr*p, in favour of the RX100.
