If you get the Griii (non x), you can buy the OEM adapter (GA-1), and the slap the telephoto lens for the Griiix, conversely, if you get a Griiix, then you can get the OEM adapter (GA-2), and buy the wide angle lens for it. It is not necessarily the same, but it's a work around. Also, be mindful, if you do have the griii (non x), and decide to adapt the tele lens on it, you will see barrel vignetting, to mitigate this, set the camera crop to 35mm or 50mm. Nice cameras either way. P.S. the reason I say OEM adapter is because that's the only adapter that has electronic contacts, means the EXIF will reflect to the focal length you decide to use "Wide or Tele" and it will be displayed on the GRiii screen.

I went with the GRIII over the GRIIIX. The way I think about the difference is that the X is for your perspective. It's closer, more focused on one point in the frame. Great for capturing personal memories easily with less clutter, a real point and shoot. With the III you have to work for your shot a little more. It's a little more dramatic and unnatural a perspective, so you want to work a scene and find the ideal angle and distance to massage clutter into context. It will net you technically better photos because of the extra consideration and effort, but you will probably end up sacrificing flow for this. For example: I'm more likely to get into the dirt to make a shot really pop with the III, whereas with the X I just hold it up at what I was looking at and fire. This is why if I was to recommend one to a casual newcomer, I'd recommend the X. It's overall less faff, and you're more likely to be instantly pleased with your images. You probably don't want to fight your camera unless you're a bit of nerd like me. 🤓 Either way, check out EYExplore shooting the GR in Asakusa, on the official Ricoh channel. 👑

After owning the GRIIIX for around 9 months I'd recommend almost anyone to go with the regular 28mm equivalent unless you religiously shoot at 85+ then you might feel more at home with 40mm. I found that there's still a lot of character missing from the 40mm and there have been many situations where I found myself wanting a wider shot. Especially for street photography. Given that it's so small there's a lot of times where you want to take casual group photos and things of that nature when traveling or hanging out and I ran out of room to back up many times.

I always find wide angles more difficult to handle than normal lenses and 40mm is closer to normal on APS-C than 28mm. With 40mm you can allways step back a litte to widen your angle and be more discrete on street photopraphy. Sure one could say with 28mm you can step forward, so it depends on your personal choice or preference.

I had both, I preferred 40mm all-around, still end up selling the X. AF is just too slow for my kids, A7III can do the job, GR3X only with very still portraits. For snapsots the 28mm version is better where AF speed is less critical. Also for indoor shots it's more usable focal length, however 40mm DOF is more artistic, I loved this separation in a tiny camera. I hope Ricoh can upgrade AF in next generation, at least A7III speed.

I have one of these in my pocket all the time now, and sometimes take both in my small sling, and that's been worth it. But really, I think the lens and sensor combinations in these two cameras are second to none and I love how razor sharp my images come out.

Great video and comparison. I want one of these when I grow up :3 I think where the camera world meets regular people, who typically use their phone, there's definite confusion about field of view and focal length. I was looking into getting a m4/3 camera recently and when trying to figure out what lenses to get (before I had the camera) I assumed the "standard" 35mm/50mm full frame equivalent were somewhere in the ballpark of camera phones, but then learned phone main cameras are typically 23-26mm ff equivalent. What's wide to a photographer isn't necessarily wide to a non-photographer, I suppose (people are so used to that wide angle distortion that it looks "normal"). I think the choice of ricohs would be easier if people knew the "28" is tighter than most phones, and the "40" has more reach but is a bit too tight for a lot of small apartment/house indoor situations. Actually it wouldn't help at all, would it :D. I'd still want both.

As an EDC, I just got the GRIII (original black). It is great at capturing moments since the camera can always be with you (pocketable). You just pull it out from your pocket and snap. I am a Fujifilm user, had the x100f and I find GRIII makes more sense as an EDC. The special edition colors are nice but I think the black is the one to get which matches the purpose of this camera, low profile and discreet. The downside of this camera is a) no WR, dust issue is always in my mind and b) auto focus is almost useless at night. I hope the GRIV will fix these issues.

@-grey Жыл бұрын
The X100V is likely never coming back. They have updated all their processors and sensors to the new generation. They would need to source the older tech to manufacture more of the previous generation on the older production line. I doubt they left the old line waiting for the necessary parts, and more likely packed it all up to make space for the new generation. They're probably going to leave the back order up until they announce the X100H or whatever the sixth one is going to be called. Fujifilm even used up their surplus stock to make a limited edition Disney skinned version they sold to the HK market earlier this year. So they probably don't even have one to sell you at gun point by now. 😂 Good luck with the GR. It's a better camera tbh. IBIS alone will get you shots you couldn't get with the X100V without a tripod. Alternatively, you can get the Sony a7CII full frame camera with the Zeiss 35f2.8 and have the same size camera as the X100V but just lightyears better AF.

Hi Omar. Yes it might be nice to have both but surely the choice comes down to some people preferring 28 mm and others preferring 40. Me, I have the GR III, bought before the X came out but I still would have chosen the X-less version. The lenses are so good that cropping in camera or in post is hardly ever an issue for me since my style of photography does not necessarily depend on great sharpness in the final product. Having said all that, I do have an X100V and so that satisfies my need of a slightly longer focal length (and a flippy screen!!). But if I carry both in my small camera bag and have the Fuji in my hand, I often switch to the GR III if I cannot get everything into the field of view, which often happens in tighter spots in the street.

I don't own X100, but I have XT-30II, which is comparable to X100. For me, Ricoh GR and Fuji serve different purposes. If I go outside with a goal to shoot pictures, I take Fuji. But if I just go for a walk, I take Ricoh. Even if I dont get a single picture on that day, no big deal. Ricoh weights almost nothing, fits in a pocket, so you kinda forget it's there. As for image quality, it might be subjective, but I feel like Fuji raw files are more elastic and generly require less corrections in Lighroom than raws from Ricoh. And I like Fuji colors a bit more, even without film simulations.

Since this is an APSC, I'm going to talk in APSC. What this comparison highlights that is the magical middle ground that is 23mm. So out of the two I'd prefer a GRIV either with a bigger sensor and the 18mm on the GRIII, or a GRIV with 23mm. I guess that's why I never took the plunge. I'd err towards the GRIII having owned the fuji x70 twice (18.5mm). Will be on a different price level, but Fuji now has a highly impressice 40mp sensor in its pocket. If it combined that with an 18mm lens in the X100VI (apparently its getting a new lens, which i think means either wider taking a cue from the Q2/3 or to better resolve 40MP. Why not both?), with options to punch in to 23, 35, 50, the extra bulk could easily be overlooked. So, I do think Ricoh should be pushing that update sooner than later before Fuji reveals its hand in the spring. If the x100VI is yet anothet 23mm variant, id rather pick up a GR III with 18mm, just want to see whats in store...

I love the idea of these pocketable Ricoh cameras but find it so hard to compose and shoot with the LCD.

So I'll stick to the viewfinder on my Fuji X100V, though I do wish the eye cup were a bit bigger.

Yes, hmm GR III for more dynamic photos where the viewer feels "in the scene" which is to me the obvious choice for true street photography. You'll also have a far easier time shooting buildings while on the street. The GR IIIx risk having you run into the issue of not having space to move farther back. I think of the GR IIIx for less documentary and travel style, and more artsy photos with two main side benefits: more bokeh and better compression for distant objects. I'm also having trouble choosing one. Like on the iPhone, I just *know* I will get annoyed by stuff feeling annoyingly distant on the GR III because I do with my smartphone, haha. But I enjoy the dynamic photos of the GR III.

There are a lot of pocketable point-and-shoot style cameras with viewfinders, flash, better auto white balance, AF in low light....but what the GR has is film photo sims/recipes that you can change-up in-camera, which fujifilm doesn't do. You could be in a monochrome mode and snap a picture, and if you think it might've been better in a color version, change it. Other brands don't even do vintage film sims. It's literally the only reason I'd consider a GR. Otherwise I'd be using my old Nikon Coolpix or my S22 Ultra for my EDC (which it is).

I bought the GRIII early this year and love it for travel and landscapes… I did however recently pick up a GRIIIX and carry both with me everywhere I go. Not sure which I prefer yet, but having choice is maybe not the best with these two cameras

Hey Omar! Love your channel and content. Wondering if you’ve ever used and/or reviewed the Nikon Coolpix A…another (albeit 10 yr old) pocket sized APS-C sensor powerhouse. I had always heard tale of these cameras, but chalked them up as mythical unicorns. However, KEH had one listed for $265 and I snatched it up! I’ve had the GRII, GRIII, and the Leica LX2…all of which were fine cameras…but this Coolpix A is the most rugged and lovely-to-use camera, that is simply a joy to use and take literally anywhere. It’s basically like having a 16MP D7100 in your pocket. Truly an underrated Nikon gem!

They should make one with a zoom lens, something like a 28-70, f2.8-4, if you spending like 1k usd on a high end compact fixed lens camera you probably want it to be versatile

40mm used to be popular but is a much underrated focal lens right now. It gives you a cinematic look and I love it. Now would I switch over from Fuji to Ricoh? Maybe next time 😂 I said the same thing about the Nikon Z fc and I actually love their new (full frame) version the Z f so... Anyway thanks for another great video!

Until last month I only shot with Fujifilm x-T2/4. Due to the boring comments of my top management aka wife about running around like a cargo donkey I changed my behaviour 😅. Now I carry the GR III with me in my trouser pocket! Very inconspicuous!!! 🎉 And I get great street pictures and even macro shots! Without further comments of my family!!! 😂😂😂 P.S. I can even use jpg recipes for the Ricoh. So it feels like a mini Fuji. Almost!

On the note of phones, no fighting. My galaxy shooting manual, raw, and edit on Snapseed, produce incredible photos.

Who decided to put orange n a street camera 🤔

I went recently with a Nikon Z5 with the 28mm f2.8 and the 40mm f2. So I have both focal length as I like them and way cheaper than buying both ricohs
