Well, my name is Josh as you can see from my username. I just purchased a used Ricoh GR V on eBay (it should be here in a day or two). I've been wanting a fixed lens digital camera for a while and I offloaded some gear/gadgets and had enough to finally grab something. I was debating offloading my RX-100 MK I and getting the MK III, but decided to keep the MK I and grab the Ricoh. The only thing I'm worried about is the reason why I kind of dislike my RX-100 MK I is.. no viewfinder, I just feel a disconnect from the camera without the ability to put it up against my eye. I did purchase one of those cheap viewfinders from eBay, so hopefully that'll keep me happy and eventually lead into the purchase of a better one.
Aside from the obvious quality of the Ricoh, I like that the brand has a cult following/loyalty, that they update their cameras far past what the big companies do and that there are small communities like this to be apart of.
As far as the style of shooting I do, it's honestly a bit of everything. You can see my work on my site and blog www.joshsouzaphotos.com and blog.joshsouzaphotos.com (both are tumblr pages if you wanna follow)
Anyways, hello and I look forward to getting the camera in my hands!
