I used to own a Ricoh GR that I used for my street work when a large camera was not appropriate, it was a superb camera but with only a fixed LED that was difficult to see the subject matter on at low angles - along came the Fuji X70, same size as the Ricoh and with the sensor from the Fuji X100T, touch focussing / shooting on a really good tilting screen so I switched to the Fuji.
It is a wonderful camera that is very tactile, responsive and really well made yet small enough to easily fit in a jacket pocket and with a fixed 28mm lens allows you to get close to subjects and look like a tourist.
Alas, Fuji no longer make this camera as the 16mb sensor is no longer available (Sony stopped production), there have been rumours about a replacement but as yet nothing so I will stick with my X70 for the occasions where a larger camera is not practical.
These are images I took in Cardiff when we were there for the day.
