Ricoh GR II
What reviews say:

'Ricoh are well known for delivering responsive cameras, and the GR II certainly continues in that tradition. '

'The Ricoh is specialised, then, but it does what it does exceptionally well.'

'unique and ambitious camera'

'The lightweight, compact Ricoh GR II is well designed, and its APS-C sensor allows for shallower depth-of-field than do the smaller sensors in competitors.'
