The Ricoh GR and the sprinkled offerings from Fujifilm have been the only worthwhile point-and-shoots for a long time. I still take my Fuji XF10 with me everywhere because it's unobtrusive and will archive better than anything a small-sensor phone could.


I got a tiny Fuji mirrorless for my "best camera is the one with you" checkbox too. Next time I catch gear acquisition fever though, I might have to get one of those little Ricohs.


The list of Fujis I've owned/sold/kept:

- 5 X100s (2x T, 2x F, currently own a V)

- 2 X-Pro2s (one went to my younger cousin)

- 1 X-T2 (upgraded to an X-T3)

- 2 X70s (sold them - too heavy for a point-and-shoot, fantastic otherwise)

- 1 XF10

I don't think I will ever not have an X100. The XF10 on the other hand is always with me. In a second I can go from single-point auto-focus and -exposure to zone-focused slow-sync flash; the only other camera that's this usable, from my experience, is the Ricoh GR II. The immediacy of physical buttons and controls is something phones have yet to replicate.


I love my Ricoh grIIIx, it's so compact and the snap distance priority is wonderful!
