Would love a Leica M but out of my price range. Really considered the Sony a7 but could really decide whether I liked it or not.
What really draws me to the Ricoh is its small size, can easily go in my pocket. I understand that it will be different but my current uses aren't very demanding, the majority is recording and documenting project work at uni. With the occasional street shooting session.
Is it worth considering the x100s/t too? Always heard good things about these.

X100 feels a lot more like a 'proper' camera because of the ergonomics. Although I think the GR ergonomics are also great. Colour rendition is great, IMHO better than the GR (which is already pretty good, although it's grainy at higher ISOs). GR's a lot cheaper though - you pay for the finder and all the other refinements on the X100.

I can say that going from a canon 5d MII > X100s was a good decision. Can vouch for the x100t also. But those small Ricoh's are awesome. Better color rendition to the fuji that favours the green's and blues like their film..

Leica M, Sony A7, Ricoh GXR. It's a big step down otherwise, are you sure you're ready for the shutter and start up lag on a that small a camera. If you don't mind that kind of thing then a Leica X2 is also an option.
