Just finished OITNBS2!!! So good but so sad I have to wait another year for S3.

I like bourbon.

I don't trust chiropractors. Most of my upper body pains stem from my bicep tendonitis (and probably poor posture).

Woke up with a horrible stiff neck (along with my normal pains - hip, bicep tendonitis, trigger pints in the upper back). I am so fucking tired of having injuries.

Happy Birthday guys!!!

No, I didn't know about those.

As for post-processing, I started learning Aperture 3 a while back and own a copy of Lightroom 3 but never really learned how to use it. Aperture and it's file system seemed more intuitive for me (and I liked that it could share a library with iphoto). Since Apple is dumping Aperture, should upgrade to Lightroom 5 and start learning how to use it or do you think the new "photos" will be decent? Is there anything else out there to consider besides LR for basic post-processing?

You can still tell me to get it since I can always send the Ricoh back but I'm still not going to listen to you. The RX1 does seem pretty awesome though!!!

Chronic pain/injuries suck. Sorry CJ.

Done! I decided to just do it and send it back if I don't like it (instead of endlessly reading reviews).

^This!!!

That is too bad. I guess I better stop sharing the 30yr (with non-HCers). The 40yr is available. http://www.binnys.com/spirits/Black_Bull_40_Year_Old_Deluxe_Blended_Scotch_Whisky_160594.html I saw the Kyloe a week ago but didn't know much about it. I'll probably buy another 12yr before they sell out again.

Thanks Ari! The straight out of camera pics do seem a little softer with less pop but are by no means horrible (as some on other sites have implied). I read that the straight out of camera B&W are supposed to be very nice. I am not against doing post processing but usually don't (and I am not very good at it - it is probably about time to get a book, and sit down and learn the basics). I have been reading about the "snap focus" feature of the Ricoh and it seems pretty awesome. Right now I am leaning towards the Ricoh GR but I think I'll wait a few days before buying... or not.

Good luck with the move Stretch! Today was the first day of my year long sabbatical (thanks to Rice and a fellowship from the Simon Foundation)! Unfortunately, I didn't get as much research done as I would have liked.

Happy Birthday Greg!!!

Woohoo!

Yep, totally fucked.

Happy birthday CJ!

I'm not really fond of buying from people I don't know.

The X100 and X100s are quite a bit bigger than the Ricoh GR and Sony RX100iii. Also the X100S is out of my price range and the X100 is 3 years old and isn't sold by bhphoto. Plus I think they are really ugly.

I'm seriously considering the Ricoh GR. I assume, being only a year old, that there won't be a newer model coming out right away. Edit: I just read that Ricoh GR isn't great if you want to for jpg. I'll have to read more about this. Do you have any experience with this Ari?

The S95 is a nice camera for still objects in good light but I can't really get a decent photo in low light or if it involves moving objects. I might be able to live with 28mm only. Both the Ricoh GR and Sony RX100 iii look very good. Will the larger sensor of the f/2.8 Ricoh will make more of a difference in low light than the f/1.8 lens of the Sony (at it's widest), at least in theory?
