Hey Doc, You think that the one unused hot shoe can be used for flash? Do you know that?

I want one i love viewfinder and i love flash too how i can use both

Perfect! Thank you so much for this, thank safely what I've been researching to find more information on!

Hi, my ricoh was working very well for me for my first few months of using it, but ive encountered the dreaded horisontal lines issue and its been carrying over to the images when i load them on a computer? Any idea why this mighy suddenly be happening and how i could fix it

how would you say the jpeg from the grd iv come out?

AMAZING!! I had missed that yiu can see your settings if you change them eventhough screen is in off mode!

Great video. I have to say none of that stuff is for me. I will never understand why people buy a pocketable street cam and then proceed to turn it into a regular sized, non-pocketable APS-C camera with all the add-ons. Don't get me wrong, the stuff is great, and to each their own, but to my mind if people really want all that stuff they would be better off just buying something small with a viewfinder and interchangeable lenses in the first place.

Heard the raw shooting is pretty slow, how is it on the 4?

That’s the classic whirring sound of old point and shoot film cams, have a Ricoh myport pns and sounds very similar, love the sound. I bought a grd2 but I’m unsure if I should return it (impulse buy), I will test it out and see how I feel about it.

Hello. Would you have any idea where i could source a replacement lcd screen for the GRD 1? I bought a second hand unit and its got a faulty screen. Any leads would be great.

I just brought a ricoh gr digital for $20 AUD at a fleas here in Australia lol

I've just picked up a BNIB Digital IV and I'm incredibly impressed with it considering how old it is!

But the viewfinder, when you change the place, you will not see the correct frame of the photo !

Beware! eBay sellers try to sell the digital at GR III prices. Don't be fooled!

What a waste of money! Go and just enjoy taking photos. The camera is already expensive and no need to waste money of those nonsense.

Hi there, can I ask if the GR digital 3 worth getting? Reason I’m asking is I can’t find the GR digital 4 where I’m at. Thank you 🙏

What if it had a hotshoe pass through for a flash? Now that would be epic

Very clever accessory.

By far the best GRD IV review on the Internet! Job well done!!!

I have had an Original Ricoh GR digital for years and shoot colour and black and white at 800 iso and change the aperture with the wheel on the front. I only shoot Jpegs. The results are amazing.

Thank you very much ,love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Nice toys .

after getting hit in the face with a basketball the left leg is sticking out too much. i mean i understand wire frames but i got plastic frames so now im scared of cracking the plastic

I have no idea what happened to mine, but there are actual gaps around the lens! Is it possible that when the lens popped out from my child, was the metal stretched??? I've tried everything I can think of. Screws are all tight. Nothing appears to be off at all. Other than the lens falls out - because that is HOW loose it is. I am befuddled. I don't even think lens liner would fill these gaps!

Just curious do you even use the GV-3 to shoot when you're outside?

also have one since 2012 and really love this little gem, never let me down so far! Will actually let my Sony A7 and Leica at home and only take the GRDIV to my trip in Marocco

The GX 100/200 were the first digi cams from ricoh 😎

Its the last & best !? ricoh 😎

The question is what do you want a camera for. I own the GRDi and it's perfect for what I want from that camera. A ccd sensor, iso 400 gives me that sweet spot noise. And I use it for flash portraits, color and b&w. Not for landscapes, not for pixel peekers freaks. The results are truly outstanding oldie look and feel pics without any filter or color correction. The competitor could be canon g10 or nikon p7100. But ricoh is smaller and lighter (and it has a fixed lens)

Man what a complete video to answer most of the questions I have on potential accessories for the iiiX! Thank you so much. Was about to buy that plastic viewfinder due to its price but now I don’t think so anymore

I have this camera. Really like the grainy black and white jpegs, but I’ve struggled with the color and found editing the raw files kinda strange. It’s definitely a camera a person has to embrace for what it is, and not compare it to modern/new cameras.

Very cool !

Thanks for this review! Between the two, which one would you say produces more film like photos in color? Also how does the b&w compare between the two?

Is it available for sale |4 ?

"Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" "Better is good's enemy" Great video Dr. I've had my GRD1 for more than 10 years and mostly shot B&W. Just recently pulled it out of retirement and planning on shooting color for a change.

I love my GR Digital 4. In fact I've just sold my GR III (the higher resolution APS-C version), because I firmly believe my GR D IV is a better camera. Yes, it's nowhere as fast in camera-on time, and the GR3 certainly writes to the SD card super-quick, but since the GR2, the little GR has lost its 'soul'. The GRD4 just oozes character, something the GR3 has lost. But that's only my opinion.

I just got one. Question: does your screen exhibit noticeable horizontal lines? Mine does, but thankfully not on the recorded images.

Thank you for sharing. I was wondering how big is the jump or if I would get similar results with earlier model. I'm looking for a small edc camera for documenting life and I think the the ricoh grs are going to be it

Awesome video showing a concise comparison between the two models! Glad to see you're enjoying the GRD4 too🤙

Nice one… I’ve been looking at getting a IV. I’ve heard that the IV has some software that tries to darken the sky/highlights compared to the earlier models…. Would you agree with that? Also, how do you find the colour rendering between the Grd1 and the IV ?

Check out my comparison of this camera with the GRD 4 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWfOZ3Z8hdGCqsksi=EXylsviqKpmbTFT-

Great video and im loving that you went against the grain and shot color on the GRD1. I carry the GRD1 everywhere I absolutely adore it. Its super outdated but there is a charming aura to this camera. From the feeling in the hands to the files it produces. I love it so much I have 3 so i dont have to be scared beating one up as a daily carry. I picked up a GRD4 thinking it would be an improvement over the GRD1 but it simply doesnt carry that same magic as the original. The GRD4 is slightly bigger, heavier, and less ergonomic. The GRD1 has a more accurate macro mode (GRD1 macro is absolutely bonkers). The GRD1 is the only camera of the series without built-in noise reduction software, this lends to seriously sharp images where the GRD4 files can look smudgy when zoomed in (early 2000s noise reduction software often did more damage than good). The GRD1 has a rubber faux leather grip that is super grippy and makes one handed shooting a breeze, the GRD4 has a less grippy synthetic leather that gets slipper with the slightest bit of sweat. All the GRD4's improvements come at a cost that i think go against what the GRD is trying to be, the original did it best in my eyes. Im rambling here, sorry about that haha.

Thats why i like the sony rx100 cameras

excellent coverage. thanks so much for the research and sharing it. i just bought a GR III 28mm and excited to use it. i also have a sony A7C with 20mm f1.8 external lens. but wanted something more compact for travel.

i see reviews where it says adding the UV filter does diltute the quality of images...though not significantly but by a margin. is that true?

Rangefinder-style experience with RICOH GR: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boutpmV8at9_mqcsi=tIsZRdigzAtPr2R-

The Ricoh GV-3 is the Leica of viewfinders for the GRiii & iiiv. This optical viewfinder is too expensive for what it is. It seems unfair that because of Ricoh’s poor design decision not to lnclude any viewfinder I am penalized and have to cough up an additional $200+. I too used to shoot film in the previous century too and like to use a viewfinder, especially an EVF. This ain’t that. I’m putting my GRiiiv through it’s paces to see if I will keep or Craigslist it. I don’t like depending on the LCD. In bright light, which we occasionally have in Seattle, the screen is worthless. During these conditions I point and shoot. I much prefer placing the subject where I want in the frame. For me, this is the potential reason not to keep this camera. I knew this prior to purchasing this body. This camera may not be right for me. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

The double shoe mount is what got me excited. I like the thumb grip accessory but I also use the viewfinder. Both use the shoe but there’s just one which is a problem. Thanks for making this video

Interesting video…you’ve got some kinky GR farkles there. Enjoyed it, thanks.

may I know is using that thin filter will damage the GT-2 Teleconverter when turn on? will it scratch the glass inside the tube ? please tell me I’m heading to buy it tmr 🙏🏻😄
