Hi Ricoh users ,I puchased the GX200 towards the end of June ,after i thought it was about time ,for a change of camera from my bit long in the tooth Panasonic FZ5,which has given me good service .After much reading of camera forums ,about SLRS and point and shoot cameras i puchased the GX200, being retired i have plenty of time for photography and dog walking ,and find this camera the right size to carry around ,i puchased it with vf-1 viewfinder as the LCD can be hard to view in bright sun light,and looking through the viewfinder makes you feel more in contact with the camera ,if you know what i mean ,what a great little camera this is ,have had some great black and white shots out of it ,very much pleased with my purchase
