Not even close.

My favorite is really the Pilot G-2, but I voted Space Pen because I just WANT one.

Something most don’t consider in that the space pen is actually great for dirty work. I always prefer mine to a pencil when doing any construction or woodwork. Because the ink is pressurized, the tip doesn’t gum up like a normal pen, and the things are all steel, and super durable.

The Ricoh’s low showing really shows how zoom lenses have come to dominate the landscape in cameras. Don’t get me wrong the Sony is fantastic and a strong case can made for it to be the best point-and-shoot out there.
