Hi all
I'm upgrading from a Fuji F30 to something better. I had my heart set on the Oly EM10 (probably with the 25mm f1.8) but recently started looking at the Ricoh GR V.
Photos will mostly be for the family, we had a baby recently so wanted better quality photos in lowlight and indoors.
I chose the EM10 because of the availability of fast lens, IBIS and face detect. Fast lens was one of my requirements, but the IBIS and face detect was huge plus for when someone else (i.e. the wife) uses the camera - kind of a guarantee that I will get decently clear shots.
Also considering the Ricoh GR because of the size and photo quality. With reality hitting me (didn't realise babies required a logistics team for diapers, food & toys when we leave the house), having a smaller camera makes sense. Not fussed with the fixed 28mm lens (I was pretty impressed with photo quality on the reviews I read) but lack of stabilisation and face detect could be an issue when other people use the camera. Plus since the GR V is a slightly older model, I'm wondering if there will be GR VI coming soon.
Realise that EM10 vs Ricoh GR V isn't an apples to apples comparison, but I'd still like to hear some opinions from the folks here.
Cheers!
