Hello, First of all really nice video. But i need to ask you something i consider buying the sony rx 100v|| or the ricoh grill. Picture quality is the main Point why i think of buying the ricoh because many people are saying that the ricoh has a nicer look, especially like a „film look" but i also want to shoot videos and the flexibilty of the sony and the view finder so what do you think about the image quality? And do you think the sony can be as good as the ricoh? Thanks for your help:))

The Sony A1 successor is already here, and it's called the Sony 9III. The only thing it lacks is 25 more megapixels, and that really isn't a minus.

Great summary Stanley, I got my 3x in the UK recently and can honestly say I rarely leave home without it! The size and weight (in the included case on belt loop old guy ‘phone style) make it the perfect EDC, even when going out with no intention of taking photos. Also the filmic recipes are tons of fun to experiment with, I’m really glad I jumped in and joined the Ricoh tribe :-)

A1 is a great camera, but I think that Nikon Z8 or Canon R5 II are better value for the money. I hope that new Sony A7 V will have stacked sensor, at least 20fps and perhaps 42mpx to support 8k…
@legendofthecamera 18 күн бұрын
Unfortunately, Sony doesn't have any other stacked sensor stills camera at a lower price point, so this is still the best value in the Sony ecosystem. Agreed with you that they can do better though, the a1 is due for an update. I doubt they'll have both a stacked sensor and high resolution on the new A7 model - that seems to overlap too heavily with their high end bodies. I do hope that they have a lower priced stacked sensor camera though - it only makes sense, given the competitive options the other brands provide.

Shooting the A1 for a year - mostly for video - and it always overheats in a climate controlled studio… my two FX3 have no such problem. Still use tye A1 as my 3rd “context” and I shut it down when not needed. Use it more for stills. (I too came from Nikon but their video was never supported by Apple FCPX since I wasted $$$ on their “filmmakers Kit! 🤬”)
@legendofthecamera 2 ай бұрын
I believe that - it’s a really small body so I’d imagine video would result in quite a bit of heat. I use it for stills only, so I haven’t personally had any overheating issues regardless of how fast I burst.

One other great use for the GR- particularly the x model: close ups of flowers and other small objects. The close up mode gives excellent image quality and the spot focus mode works well. I’ve also found it great to take when hiking if I want to keep the weight down

I'd like to add another one to the list Pixii Half the cost of a Leica, while being rated better than every Leica other than the M11 but DXO.
@legendofthecamera 4 ай бұрын
I was tempted too, but I ended up going for the XPro3 instead. Works exceptionally well with M-mount lenses. Lacks a mechanical rangefinder, but the digital rangefinder is wonderful. Part of why I didn't want to go with a Pixii is that it's a crop sensor camera - if I was going to pay that much, I'd prefer full frame. Hoping to try it some day though as it's a really interesting camera!

The GV-2 external viewfinder is like $250, more than a quarter of the cost of the camera lol. Also, many KZbinrs laud the build-in memory "in case you forget your SD card." I have never forgotten a memory card in my entire life, and no photographer I know has. Otherwise, this is the BEST point-and-shoot camera for the APS-C sensor alone.
@legendofthecamera 5 ай бұрын
I’m pretty sure only KZbinrs forget their memory cards 😂 Viewfinders aren’t cheap because they still require solid build quality and good glass to make. They will also outlast your camera by decades. I bought a GV1 ($150) to pair with an M3 rangefinder, which only had 50mm frame lines. Works like a charm for 21/28mm. Similarly works incredibly well when I got this GR3. Even better because you can turn off the screen and use it as an optical point and shoot device. Truly changes the experience of the GR3 in a fun way.

Fantastic food for thought. I have a Sony system (a7r4) and two Fuji systems (X-H1 & X-Pro2). Last night I listed all of the Fuji kit so that I can buy one do-it-all EDC hobbyist camera. I have longed for a Leica Q2 for many years, and I'm also on several pre-order lists for the X100vi. Yet, what you have said about the GRiii - a camera that has always peaked my interest - just makes a lot of sense. And besides, if I buy a used GRiii, use it for a few months and hate it, I can always sell it again with hopefully very little extra depreciation. Great informative video.
@legendofthecamera 7 ай бұрын
Happy to have helped! It’s a pretty unique camera that just so happens to fit perfectly into any kit and complements bigger gear very nicely. I also pre ordered the fujifilm but I don’t see myself ever selling this thing. The x100vi still can’t compete on size and pocketability. No one questions you when you’re out shooting with this, but they definitely will when you have a Fujifilm or Leica (is that a film camera???).

Yeah, while it's an iterative improvement (nothing groundbreaking or unique, only bringing it in line with the XT5), it's still a pretty major as an upgrade and will no doubt add tremendously to the usability and fun of this camera. Enjoy!

It not being weather sealed for 1000$ in such a compact body is just beyond crazy to me. There are so many good cameras that u can get for 1k$ that are compact and will be better than ricoh. Hope the IV is weather sealed and has better AF, then the price would be justified.

After 2 days from new (£999), dust appeared on the sensor despite keeping it in a Ricoh soft case plus third party lens cap, and never putting it in my pocket. Now the best offer I can get is £625, subject to sending it back under warranty in the hope that they will sort it. And it never felt like I was using a proper camera, although the images were great, subject to a big blob, which I now feel sure was present from new. Would NEVER buy another!

Why can’t i find a comparison video for the x100v with gfx 50s? The 50s is medium format and costs only 2000. Can someone explain please?
@legendofthecamera 8 ай бұрын
It's the opposite of compact and I don't think it's commonly compared. But the user experience of the GFX50s is honestly pretty poor in my opinion. It's a first generation MF product and feels really slow and clunky to use for anything other than static scenes in good light, whereas the X100V is pretty much the opposite in its usage, plus it's almost pocketable too. I'd imagine given $2000 to spend, one would absolutely lean one way or another rather than be on the fence for these two.

Ricoh GR series brakes easily because of the flex cable inside the lens that operates aperture and focus. The flex cable brakes eventually when the lens goes in and out due to how it's folded inside. I've read that most people experience it after 13k shots. So I'm not tempted to get a new one until Pentax change the architecture of the lens and address this problem.
@legendofthecamera 10 ай бұрын
It’s not a tough camera, which is unfortunate given the demographic it’s catered to. Still, it’s the best in class, which is less of a praise to the camera itself and more of a criticism towards all the camera companies for not doing better on this front, given the current state of technology.

I highly doubt they are more reliable than a Z9 or A1, but they have much more luxurious build quality to them, which is part of their draw.
