hexiplex: Are those images taken with the new preset B&W High Contrast mode? I really like them!

Glad you like them! Most are JPEG in regular black and white, some are DNG. The three bottom ones is with rather harsh flash. I did try to use the B&W high contrast mode on occasion, but I found it was TOO high contrast, good for photographing text, but outside of that most everything just gets washed out.
Just to keep the pictures flowing, another shot:

Sevres Babylone,
So how do you decide when to you the GR2 vs the GRD3? I haven't gotten around to selliing my GRD2, but may keep it for the 40mm tele-converter.

My GRD2 shots are simply older shots. I never bought any of converters, so sold my GRD2 when I bought my GRD3. |

These two are very nice Gekopaca, very nice subtle tones! I am not familiar with the GRD, I assume you are using RAW to avoid the harsh look? |

How come the GRD got such a lousy review at Dpreview? Was it the price? The photos here look fantastic!

I think the price was part of it - also they were judging image quality at larger than web-size. They noted the high noise levels and highlight clipping, among other things. Personally, the noise doesn't bother me in most shots I see - but the highly processed ones show unacceptable levels and FPN, IMO. Also, some of the shots here show that the highlight problem can be tamed by a careful user.
To me it looks like a great little camera that I maytry. But, I would first have to reconcile myself to the arms-length composition technique, or using the optional finder (which seems pretty expensive). The other problems aren't overwhelming to me.. |

Sometimes I shoot in Raw with GR-D but it's very slow (several seconds between two shots); and those are not! It's only .jpeg .
With that wonderful camera you can have sepia jpeg, and very precise settings.
Those 2 pictures are made with my personal settings. |

Just shows you that you shouldn't believe aeverything your read. The dpereiview review is from the perspective of a typical point&shoot user, without an understanding that the GRD cameras are photographers' tools; that these are small sensor cameras that "draw" in a different way from larger sensor cameras — and are particualrly good for photographers seeking a certain aesthetic, as evident in this thread. On the dpreview forum most people want the GRD to have a larger sensor, withour raalizing that the small sensor is the basis on which these cameras have their appeal. The dpreview approch also reflects the tendency, with the advest of digital, to pixel-peep rather than to judge the quality of prints.
