Hello everybody,
I am a forum newbie who is just about to step into Ricoh universe.
I will not be particularly original asking which to choose - an old good GRD3 or hot GRD4 but I have my reason to start this thread.
As you can expect, I went through all threads and published reviews and comaprisions of both cameras already but can't make a final decision due to one simple reason.
I live in Poland where Ricoh is extremely niche brand. It means you can't touch a camera as it does not exist in regular distribution. It can be purchased online though. And this is my concern begins just right here. The retail price of GRD4 has been set at 540 Euro (camera is not available yet) while GRD 3 from old stock is available at 290 Euro. That makes 250 Euro of difference. Quite a money, right?
Are all the GRD4 upgrades really worth such a price difference and time to get it? Oh, I don't want to import.
I am an occasional street shooter, looking for a little camera which will replace my beloved analogue Russian Lomo
I'll very much appreciate your advise.
Cheers.
