Ricoh GR Digital IV Review: A Field Report by Jeff Damron
I have a soft spot for properly conducted field reports accompanied by plenty pics, and this is on of them:
"Compared to the Fujifilm X10: the GRD IV is smaller and is much more “pocketable” and has more customization features and a significantly
better, brighter LCD screen. Also, although the X10 is no slouch in the autofocus department among compacts, the GRD is faster and more certain. But the bigger sensor of the X10 gives better image quality, particularly at higher ISOs where the EXR sensor and the image processing produces beautiful (if only 6mp) pictures. While the GRD delivers competent colors, the X10 produces sparkling colors that really grab you.
Compared to the Olympus XZ-1: I am going to say that I think the noise from the comparably sized sensors is about the same. Both have more noise at higher ISOs than the now discontinued Canon S95 I reviewed, but also seem to have a bit more detail. I think the Oly has a bit richer color, but the GRD’s color can be adjusted easily in post-production. The Canon S series is a little smaller than the GRD, and thus fit a little better in a shirt pocket, and are well-built with more versatile zoom lenses, but the lens is not quite as fast (and is pretty slow really once you start zooming), but the GRD feels and looks like a more sturdy camera. I like the look of the lens on the Oly (and the look of the pictures it produces) but it is bigger and is not in the same league with the Canons and the GRD when it comes to fitting in a pocket. Neither the Oly nor the Canon line are as well made and thought out as the Ricoh (though both are good in that regard as well).Compared to the Sigma DP2x: The Sigma image quality belongs in a class unto itself. Like the Ricoh it features an excellent prime lens, although it has a more useful (to me) 41mm equivalent view. The GRD is much smaller and its LCD screen blows the rather pitifully dim and reflective and low res one on the Sigma completely out of the water. Both are more “niche” cameras than the Oly and Canon lines, but the niches are slightly different. If unique image quality that only comes from a Foveon sensor is what you need in a small package, the Sigma may be for you. But as a tool that produces good results and is easy to use and customize, the GRD is clearly the winner."(Maybe) Related articles
Canon Powershot G1X review @ Photoreview.au
Will Canon ever release a compact camera system? Yes, they pretty much have to. In the meantime they stuffed an aps-c sensor in some oversized g12ish body, and came up with this:

Ricoh GR Digital IV Review at ePhotozine
This is an example of a camera body and lens combination designed by photographers, for photographers, and a prime candidate for the 'desicive moment digital camera' crown. Too bad about the small sensor, the drop in image quality is pretty severe above 400 iso.
"The Ricoh GR Digital was one of the first cameras to put a focus on lens and sensor quality when it was first announced in 2006
Panasonic TZ30 (ZS20) hands-on review @ Tech Radar
It may LOOK similar to the TZ20 it is replacing, but the differences under the hood are anything but subtle: Useable ISO @ 1600 despite the rising to 14 megapixels, better image stabilization, full manual controls, 20x zoom (starting at 24mm), very quick response times and more, well this baby deserves a place into both the 'superzoom' and 'prosumer' tags:
