Originally posted by lmans Really...when I shot film....I had dust even on a clean camera....so I just dealt with it as I digitized the film and worked on the computer ....so it is not that hard to work with your software to get rid of any Ricoh dust issue. If you like the new Ricoh and want to put down $800 or so, or whatever it will cost, do so...otherwise, just deal with it as it is not that hard to work around.
Last year I was very concern about the dust issue and spent weeks researching about this problem until I actually decided to pospone the GR.
This year I decided to just deal with the dust issue like you said and I bought in February. I don't know if it's one of the new GR models with the dust issue fixed or not but so far I had no problems.
Since the very beginning I just bought one of those camera pouches to keep my camera away from the evil dust, and eventually the GH3 adapter with a UV filter.
So, I hope my little black princess can be safe and make happy for as long as possible!
And I wish the same for all of you guys and your GR's =)
