The Ricohs are both very good as carry-everywhere cameras but they’re not weathersealed, which is about the only complaint I have with them. The autofocus isn’t very quick, so if you’re shooting street you’re better off zone focusing - fortunately they have implemented that very well with the ‘snap’ mode. You can have the best of both worlds with full press snap, which auto focuses if you half-depress the button but reverts to snap distance if you just mash it. But while zone focusing at 28mm eq. is a doddle, at 40mm eq. it’s quite hard unless it’s a very sunny day and you can stop right down.
Personally I really like the Ricoh colours - they’re second to Fuji in my book. But YMMV.
