Good PNS camera with super zoom. Lot's of features. Solid build. Value for the RSP.

I just bought the Ricoh GXR P10 and an additional A12 lens a few days ago. Did some test shots.. not too bad!

this is the GXR with P10 lens attached, taken with the A12 50mm f2.5 APS-C sensor prime lens (from the box behind):

Basically I quite like the GXR for:
- low light scenarios, especially with the A12 f2.5 large APS-C sensor
- lots of detail in good lighting
- nice bokeh
- very customisable buttons
- high resolution 920,000 dot LCD
- high FPS continuous shooting
- fairly accurate colour (for A12 lens)
- competitive pricing for GXR/P10 kit

Its weakness:
- slow focusing, especially for the A12 in poor lighting (sometimes unable to focus at all, reverting to manual focus)
- expensive A12 lens
- mono audio for video recording

Can post a picture of the size of the 28-300mm zoom lens mounted on the body? TKS

Saw the ad that this is one of the kit lens option, interested to see the size.

I must say the picture of kool came out quite well despite the zoom and the low light conditions.
