When I went to Hong Kong last year I felt like NEXs were everywhere. I'd say ~30% of the non-point and shoots.

Does anyone have a Ricoh GR? I'm thinking about one as an everyday camera and for long backpacking trips.

hit 'em with the rhythm
I'm planning a 3 week hiking/backpacking trip and am looking at a Ricoh GR as a lightweight camera option. I'm thinking about battery scenarios and I realized I could get an OVF to significantly extend the life of the battery by leaving the back screen off and framing with the OVF. Then I realized that if I leave the back screen off, I wouldn't have any exposure information like I would with a dslr or EVF.

Has anyone tried using an OVF to save on battery? I guess I could turn it on, set up some general landscape settings (set ISO, narrow aperture for example) then turn off the screen.

I will have several extras but nowhere to charge them en route. Cost isn't so much as issue as weight.

Thanks for the comments on the OVF, I'll probably end up getting one along with several extra batteries. The more I thought about it the more I realized how much I prefer shooting through a viewfinder anyway, weight savings or not.

Hmm, I have neither but according to that size comparison website, the x100 is 8% wider, 22% taller and 55% thicker. I think the thickness would be the key for pocketability.
