Make no mistake about it - i take plenty of pictures - this is a rare time where i am actually not taking pictures and hitting a reset button on my gear. I'm glad you like the GRD3 - it is a great little camera. To say that the GR1v has a Leica beating lens makes no sense at all - what lens are you talking about? The stock lens that is mounted on the camera? lol
Leica is known for it's great lenses and that's one of the reasons why people purchase Leicas. I have yet to use a Leica lens personally but I know that my Zeiss lens that will soon be mounted on my Leica and my 3 Zeiss lenses that I have for my Contax will blow that pathetic GR1v out of the water. It sounds like you've been reading up on Daido Moriyama's camera rig - and while I admire him - I don't want his exact same rig.
I've wanted a Leica for a long ass time and now that I finally have one, trust me, I will have a Leica lens to go along with it in the near future. I use my GRD3 to take pictures of stuff I put on eBay. A good 28mm lens with the Contax or Leica will obliterate the GRD3 any day of the week. This isn't my first rodeo son, come on.
With the characteristics you seem to like in a camera - the Contax G2 is even better than a Leica - but surely better than a digi Ricoh. Again, I love the GRD3 and used to have the "Daido" camera you seem to love - but again, Contax G2 + Leica M6 + Olympus XA2 - and mju - destruction.
