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). -
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.

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? -

The XT1 is too expensive for a "backup" camera (for me). I would like to stay under $1000 with a lens. I'll look into the Ricoh GH. Thanks for the link Jacob. I'll look into The Mark I and II but it seems like the lens on the Mark III is significantly better. -

How is the low light performance on such a camera? It has a rather large sensor for a P&S but still is a lot small than any of the APS-C sensors. It also seems weird to spend so much on a P&S. -

I'm not planning to replace the D7100, just want to have something to use when I am having shoulder problems and/or I don't want to lug around a DSLR. For example, I went to California on a trip to visit family a couple of weeks ago and would usually have taken my DSLR but I didn't want to mess up my shoulder so I just took the P&S (Canon S95). I don't really want something the size of the SL-1 - too big. I'd get a D3200/3300 before that since I already have a bunch of lenses for Nikon. I basically want something the size of Nex5 plus pancake lens or slightly bigger (a camera you could put in a jacket/hoodie pocket. The A6000 + 16-50 or small prime lens might fit the bill. -

I've been having a lot of trouble with my shoulder(s) again for the past 2 months* so I was thinking of getting another mirrorless camera. I had the NEX5 with kit zoom which was ok but I didn't carry it around very much since the zoom lens was a bit large. Is there anything I should look at besides the NEX line? *I got a massage and they hurt me bad enough to send back me to PT (probably a nerve issue) - so so frustrating. -
