I think Amey is the main anti camera voice around here : )
The thing that the A6000 would have over the Ricoh would be auto focus (even as old as it is) and of course the ability to switch lenses at will.
The Ricoh is a better camera in most other ways, and will be quite a bit smaller especially when powered down.

Would a Ricoh gr3/x be much of a jump in quality from a Sony a6000 + Sigma 30mm f1.4 or is it mostly a change in compactness?
I got the a6000 body a few years ago as my first digital, as I wanted a cheap way to use several old prime lenses. I eventually got the sigma as my first af lens which I enjoyed at first, but haven't used it much as I find it a bit bulky to both use and carry around. I take pictures mostly when I'm traveling.
I'm going to Asia next month and was wondering about the Ricoh gr3/ gr3x as a more compact option. I'm lazy and get all my camera info from YouTube so was under the impression the Ricoh was unbeatable for snapshots, but reading this thread I learn than it's no better than an iPhone?
