I just had to get a couple of new batteries for my GXR w M module. It had been sitting in my dresser for the last 4 years with no love. I have started using it again when I want something small and light to carry along. Finally added a 33/50 mm lensor and a A16 zoom out of JP at good prices. I am always impressed with what I can get out of the GXR.
I don't use it anymore either, but I don't want to sell it. I sold my GRDifital before and I always regretted it.
I sometimes doubt to buy an m-mount now, but they remain expensive and I'm afraid it will mainly lie in the closet. And then I also have to buy a m-mount lens.

I had a similar experience with the GX100 Caplio. If you play to these camera's strengths whilst avoiding their weaknesses, the older GX cameras produced high quality results. I purchased the M mount immediately on its release and had great fun with it, despite the crop factor increasing my 17mm f4 Minolta lens to a more average 26mm. It is actually why I still own quite a number of Minolta MD lenses which now fit on my Z6 without a crop factor.
