Ricoh GR series have a massive cult following in the street photography world. Every iteration refines what a street photographer wants from a compact digital, which is something more like a premium film camera that fits in your pocket. It's such a great design, all it needs is polishing and trimming. Fuji has tried to come out with GR killers, but keeps failing. I get that some of you don't understand what this camera is or why it doesn't have improvements leaps and bounds ahead of the previous model, well this camera is on a league of its own. It's refining something that's near perfection.
Having said all that, I seriously question Ricoh's "bold" move to remove the built-in flash, especially on a camera with leaf shutter. Built-in flash is vital to any premium compact. The utility of always having fill flash available cannot be understated. At the very least Ricoh will need to release a tiny pocketable P-TTL external flash.
