The more I think about it the more I think a Ricoh makes most sense. I don't have time to take photos as a sole activity anymore; but I miss it. So, I'm resolved to making the most of taking photos on the way to or while doing other stuff!

I’m fortunate to have both and they’re very different beasts. The GRiii lives in my work bag or like @h2o, comes along if the family are in tow. But… if there were only one, I prefer the depth of function on my XT3. The Ricoh does one thing very well but can get a bit repetitive.

I spent a while convinced I was going to sell my Ricohs but they’re perfect for taking photos when I’m out with other people - my wife gets justifiably impatient with me if I keep stopping to compose a picture properly with my X Pro 3, so I only really use that now if I’m out on my own - the Ricohs I have set up for zone focusing with the snap distance setting and I mostly just shoot from the hip - my hit rate isn’t high but because it’s so unobtrusive and I can just snap away without holding up proceedings I still end up with a lot more decent photos. If I want to do anything very considered, though, the Fuji is perfect because all the control surfaces are just there where you expect them without having to delve into menus.
