The plethora of buttons and custom functions make the Ricohs a breeze to operate if you familiarise yourself through daily use. I loved my GRD3. Qhen I lost it I bought another straight away – I've never done that before, normally I see loss of or damage to a camera as an opportunity for change.
Ultimately I grew curious of other fields of view (I've begun to hone in). I considered a 35mm lens pretty narrow after becoming accustomed to the 28 on the Ricoh; I have been on 50mm for the last few weeks, I'm enjoying it. I wonder when it'll stop.
If you're coming to the Ricoh from 50mm or thereabouts I think it'll take a while to come around to the 28mm unless you have a specific subject in mind like architecture/landscape.

TLDR - good camera
