Small and inconspicuous. Superb quality lens. Control.
Bad Points
It looks like it's worth nothing, but this is also a good point in some respects!
General Comments
My Ricoh GR1v 35mm camera is a gem. The lens quality rivals my Nikon lenses. It fits in your pocket, looks like it isn't worth robbing off you when on holiday.
The results are stunning from this pocket camera.
I travel with it when abroad, and it is much easier to cart about than my SLR kit.
If you find a second hand one, buy it. Mine is NOT for sale though.
