Ricoh 500SE and also one 500G wide. The later needs a small repair though which I'm struggling to decide if it is worth what it might cost or not.
Ricoh 400G wide. Atm it is uncertain however it is going to stay and go as the service keep fool things up and piss me off. This time them might refuse to replace the lens-assy and sensor which is horribly bad after last repair and shows up quite some corner softness and add the sensor-issue to that.
I'll probably just have to leave it at the mid of January if it is not properly fixed by then as the warranty from the first repair for which I paid 119 euro expires then.
I'm certainly not going to pay another 119 euro for another repair which likely might be fumbled as well. But until then, I'll keep try to make them have this mess sorted out in time.

Ricoh GRD1. Actually two atm.
Olympus 5060 - Going to go though. Simply too bulky to be carried anywhere and while the AF is rather fast it is not very accurate or reliable.
Olympus D-360L - Might stay for a while although it see no use.
Samsung L74 wide - It is also going to stay and hopefully see some use. I'll try and tweak the jpeg output further to make it perform even better even though it is not bad now.
Ricoh Caplio Pro G3 - Stay or go, that's the question. The UI is definitely worse/slower than for 400G/G4 wide which not only have the ADJ-button but also the OK and menu-buttons placed closer to each other which make for faster and more comfortable handling. The G3/RR30 have 35m-105mm which have very smooth bokeh and hence very good for macro. The bokeh of the G4 wide / 400G is not bad either but the G3 are just marginally better.
The Pro G3 is also a sub-model of the usual G3 which seems to be quite rare and pricey when it seldom shows up on ebay. I was lucky to find it in an auction with some junk-compacts, some of them listed as defect, so I could get it reasonably cheaply.
Only problem is that there is some kind of fog far on the inside of the lcd, not on the protection glass though, which can't be cleaned away. Not a big problem is it is mostly only visibly from less than optimal viewing-angles. The ccd in this and some other models which is known for going terribly bad still seems to be in perfect shape though as it can handle against-the sun or usual daylight just fine unlike my 400G wide which atm are at the service for that problem.
Minolta Dimage EX 1500 zoom and also the Wide-module with 28mm f1.9. As for the GRD1 and 500SE. Those two are clear keepers for me which can struggle during some certain circumstances of shooting but have a quite distinctive nice looking jpeg output which I've not found anywhere else. The Dimage EX wide might be even more rare than the Ricoh Pro G3 so I consider it to be a nice collector item also which I let see some use and jpeg output which I like.
I don't bother myself to keep gear which is not up to good image quality - collector-item or not.
Ricoh G700. Finally bought this more or less strictly for testing only as I was curious how Ricoh had progressed since the G600. Some of the cons like slow aperture at the wide end and nosiy buttons remain the same as I expected as it uses the same zoom and just slightly redesigned body. AF seems to be marginally faster though and the metering/DR marginally improved as well. The noise look quite greyish like the the CX5 with NR set to default. The difference here is that the NR in the G700 can't be turned off so there is no way getting rid of that other than experiment with the rather limited parameters which might have an impact.
However there is no warranty that set the NR to OFF in the CX5 might get rid of that dull look. That is rather what I think might be possible as it is the NR which seems to create that grey-looking kind of "haze".
maybe some day
