The entire point of this """"update"""" is surreal, silly at best and kind of sad (not the best spot to be for an bassador...) In Ricoh they have to understand that Ricoh GR customers are people that look at the Substance, not appearences. If they want to upgrade, then did it, but not take the piss out of us!.. Ridiculous

It is genuinely cool that Ricoh has built a mist filter into this camera, but this announcement is mostly just a reminder that Ricoh has continued to drop the ball on releasing a GR with modern autofocus and better weather sealing. This is a golden moment for pocketable, high-quality, user-friendly cameras, and Ricoh is leaving so much on the table by failing to release a GR camera with those basic quality-of-life features. Other wishlist items that feel like reasonable asks: an add-on hotshoe EVF (like the Leica EVF3), sturdier buttons, and a locking exposure comp dial. Let's get rid of video capabilities altogether - nobody is buying a GR for that - and lean into photo-centric upgrades. Pie-in-the-sky magic engineering wishlist items would be a faster lens, bringing back the flash, longer battery life, and a tilting screen. Ricoh should provide a compelling solution for people with X100 money who want something close to its photo specs that they can actually fit into a pocket. Small, simple, sturdy, sold.

I've been using the Glimmer Glass on my X100 cameras ever since GxAce recommended them over the Black Pro-Mist. It's an expensive little filter but it really does elevate your pictures with regards to creating a filmic look. For B&W photography they're incredible. I've got far too many Fuji cameras so I'll definitely be selling one (or two) to get my hands on the HDF. The thought of having a truly pocketable camera just makes so much sense. With the X100 series I've had to buy specific coats with larger pockets to fit them into my 'Streetlife'. Don't know why I've held off so long.

Good job Sam! You kept a good balance btw ambassador promotion and personal honesty, especially with the jazz song! I think many people may actually be using the ND filter without realizing it. My GR III Street Edition (purchased 13 days ago) came with the ND filter set to “Auto” be default.
@GastonShutters8 ай бұрын
I own the GRIII and GRIIIx. Makes no much sense as you can get an adapter for the GRiii and put any filter that there is. An ND is much more useful IMO as a permanent filter. You can also mimic mist effect in Lightroom by sliding the clarity to the left, a bit less of dehaze and play with the whites and exposure. And you can isolate the areas affected with the brush mask tool. A total money grab in my opinion rather a try new camera with better battery and useful video specs. As the GRIII models are near perfect!
@Kevon4208 ай бұрын
Ricoh is far more likely to remove video functionality from the GR completely than enhance the video specs, akin to Hasselblad and Leica removing them from the X series and the M series cameras respectively after just one generation of including it. It would be keen for Ricoh to realize the GR's strengths and its userbase are snapshooters and street photographers who don't give a damn about using the camera for video whatsoever, and the people who do are an extreme minority. I'd rather them remove the video functionality, get rid of the mic & speaker holes on the camera to improve sealing and solidity. If I wanted a video camera I'd get a Sony or whatever. If you want a compact video camera, there's many many companies that get that job done and know far more about that space than Ricoh does. Even the iPhone 15 Pro's video quality runs circles around the GRIII's, even though the iPhone has a smaller sensor and plastic lens.

@Kevon4208 ай бұрын
As someone who does not have a GR at all (played with them now and then), this model is enticing...but I also know that Ricoh might drop a GRIV within the next 12 months and that kind of gives me trepidation to purchase this camera. I really do not like selling cameras (it's just a big pain) and I prefer to hold onto a camera for multiple years and use it daily; so buying this lets say a month from not and then selling it for a GR4 at the end of the year would be so annoying. I can feel Ricoh will provide a lot of smart updates to the GR IV that I would really love and appreciate. The potential of a better sensor, better sealing, better battery life, bringing back the flash, better AF, better build quality, refining the UI, feel & ergonomics and so on are all on the table and things I care about. This model is fun but it is difficult to want to invest in it so far in the GRIII life cycle.

@@alhOOO2O Because I don't want to spend 3 month with a camera that I know I won't use beyond that. There was also no new feature worthy of trying out for any longer time with the X100VI. What you see is what you get basically. The 1,5 weeks I had the Fuji were enough for me to make a final conclusion about it. With the HDF GR the frustration came with the fact that it wasn't a GR IV. The X100VI IS the successor of the X100V so it should have been a more inspiring upgrade but it wasn't. The GR HDF wants to offer a new look tot he images which actually makes me shoot differently. And it was a matter of saying yes or no to Ricoh when they asked me if I want to shoot a series of images for them for the launch and make a video about it. And curiosity won at the end. The X100Vi I had to order myself just to be able to try it out. So I wouldn't compare the two experiences.

That song spoke to my GR-loving soul, Samuel... In a spooky way! I agree with you about the GRIV, I don't really see anything lacking in my IIIx. It's not like it's outdated. There's nothing glaringly absent. Would a few other features be nice? Yes, but... I think we're up against physics, and everything I could want: more resolution, environmental sealing, faster autofocus, the return of the flash, maybe even an EVF, battery life, these all require more power and generate more heat. And heat can already be a problem with this tiny camera. So I think in order to really get the major changes we want, there need to be significant technological advances in power consumption and/or battery tech, and Ricoh doesn't control any of those things.

I have never heard of the 1-5 scale that you talk about in relation to mist filters. The built-in HDF filter looks like a quarter strength to me or possibly more. For my own purposes, I think 1/8 is enough. It's nice that the filter behind the lens, but it's too much for me. And with an adapter I can put on whatever strength I want to suit the conditions, or a CPL, etc.

Love your videos, ultra helpful every time 🤓😎😎😎 also… I just got the regular GRIII and felt so down that the mist filter I bought is in there cause I also want a lens hood but I think I still like the control of how strong it it. they should really include strength options and it would be epic so we can all just get the glass squarehood and nothing else, no adapter.

Totally understand this for snap shooters in Japan, especially in cities. Perfect. I do wish they went straight into this model instead of the dairy.

Would love this but the current prices, even for the 'normal' gr3...or even pre-loved ones are still too expensive. Sigh

Although the new HDF version looks very good. 😀 But for me, I still prefer the version with built-in ND filter version. I wish I could buy both if I could.😁
