    When I was camera shopping just over a year ago I was looking to replace my Ricoh GX100 as a small and good quality allrounder that could be used for hipsots, snapshots or delving more into technical shots. My Ricoh followed a few years of only shooting film on Lomos/Holgas etc. I felt that the Ricoh felt similar.

    When shopping I was basically comparing the Panasonic GFs, Olympus EPs and the Sony Nex5N. It came down to a tossup between the GF and the Sony.

    IF the GF had been available with the expensive extendable/colapsible X lens (or whatever it was called) at the time then I may have got that as some reviews were favouring this camera. But I did kind of prefer the look and feel of the SOny.

    I ended up getting the 5N, and got a good deal on it too with the 18-55 lens.
