This looks great. Hope the $800 price tag becomes a reality.

All Nikon has to do is drop the price and it's "stomping" will turn into a cage match. Nikon has the brand name and 14 bit RAW going for it. But yeah, at current prices it would be hard to grab the Nikon over this (or a X100s)

I want a X100S but this is definitely something to consider, especially for the price and I actually like the design. Looks just like an old film compact.

Nikon won't drop the price, they have plenty of fanboys who are going to buy it anyways.

I doubt Nikon will drop prices, either, unless sales get out of hand. But just saying most of the comments on the superiority of the Ricoh are mainly regarding price. Which is an easy number to change if needed.

I just keep thinking how sad it is that Sigma sucks so bad at making cameras. I mean they had this idea in early 2008 with the DP1, but still 3 generations later it remains a quirky niche camera with VGA video, awful AF and weird operation. This is the camera the DP1 could/should have been.
