Trying the new Ricoh GR4

Today I had the opportunity to test the new Ricoh GR4. No doubt it is a good camera, it takes good images and most importantly, it is small. Very small. It fits into a jeans pocket.

But also, it is not my camera. My Leica Q2 Monochrom is not a big camera, but it i feels huge compared to the GR4. I had it with me and could compare directly. The Leica is heavy, but not too heavy to hold it in your hand for a couple of hours. Most importantly, it somehow inspires me to take good and unusual photographs. The Ricoh doesn’t do any of that. Okay, price wise both are not comparable. But now I know that I will never use a different brand ever again.
