Re: Answer 1: Ricoh GR-Digital II and accessories (4.00 / 3)

My D40X isn't very big.

That's all I have. I'm bringing this on a year long trip, so there is no room for extra goodies anyway beyond a few extra batteries.

The GR-D has the advantage that I can dump all except the camera itself and bung it into a pocket.

That's a neat kit though. How's the lens?

And Sam's R7 has a 28-200 zoom equivalent on it, so between the two kits we have reasonable quality 'sketch' photography covered.

I love it. The lens covers everything I need. A fast 50mm lens would be nice but I can live without it and I'm still quite an amateur.

You should be able to pick up a 50mm 1.8 AF for almost nothing second hand? It hardly weighs anything. Honest.

I'm sure you're right, but space is at an ultra premium. I'm getting by on a 35L backpack and a camera shoulder bag that is going to have to hold things beyond camera gear.

By which I mean I've spent measurable time debating with myself on how many pairs of boxers go with me.
