Gr1 is small, pocketable, has a 28mm f1:2.8 has a magnesium body, flash incorporated and Konica Hexar AF is much bigger, has a 45mm f1:2, if memory helps me, is the most silent camera I have and has a separated flash. Both are fixed lenses and sharp indeed but I find myself using much more the Ricoh as I love 28 mm lenses. You cannot go wrong but I am not sure if Hexar AF is still manufactured. You have too an outstanding Ricoh GR21 with a great 21mm lens (but with a lot of vignetting and a surrealistic price for a P&s) Kind regards Felix - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
