>>276067What annoys me from the GR1 is the apperture priority only mode, but the manual fixed focusing and snapshot mode are great!
It's got the best speed of operation of any compact camera, period. Dual wheels, with the rear wheel containing a push-in function to access other user-defined settings like ISO, quality, flash compensation, etc.
The operation is so quick, reliable, and similar to my SLRs, I can get very quick shots on the street. Also, and this is a rarity among point and shoots: no discernible shutter lag, if you're in Snap, Infinity, or MF mode (though the manual focus is lame and sucks). No shutter sound, either. You can turn every unnecessary sound off, which is not something I think you can say for many point-and-shoot class cameras, again. It becomes a stealth camera. With the viewfinder, I don't have to frame using the terrible (and bright) screen. Instead, I've got big 21mm/28mm brightlines, and I can shoot as though I'm using a rangefinder, a la HCB, Winogrand, Erwitt, DAH, and the other Leica-using ilk.
