Completely agree with you on the GR SOC colours. If I didn’t use LR my GR would have gone. Looking forward to episode 2 and your take on the dust. That’s my biggest gripe with these and I end up treating them like babies and not just sticking it in my pocket. I have a little Oly TG7 and it feels quite liberating having a tiny camera that I’m confident about shoving in my pocket.
Thank you, I think the dust issue I experienced may be unique to my particular GR but I don't have much basis of comparison. I agree that I tended to put the GR in a case and then a pocket which does make them less convenient to use, less so than perhaps a phone but then a phone can't deliver the same quality IMO. Yeah, the SOC colours were not good save for perhaps the positive film effect but I'm thankful that I found some prests which gave me a good starting point for further edits in LR.
Personally, I think the apsc 16mp sensor across the board hasn't been improved on for colour rendering, and overall look, Nikon d7000, pentax k5, leica x2, and of course ricoh gr grii.. Etc. Great informative video again Chris.
Grab a nisi filter adapter and filter then there is no reason for dust. I think that comment comes up from memory for those who never had the GR. For me I’ve captured pictures I would have missed without it. Nothing is more pocketable
I absolutely agree, the Ricoh GR series is great; mine might have had a unique dust related issue (part 2 covers this when released). The camera doesn't look that pocketable with that nisi filter attached to it mind.

Agree it makes it bigger but still the smallest camera out there for apsc
I prefer the existing form factor I think, minimal bulk but I do keep it in a case which is still thin enough to place in a pocket.

Thanks for the positive comments.

why dont you buy a samsung nx mini?
Not a camera I have heard of but a quick review shows that it only has a 1" sensor compared to the APS-C sized sensor in the Ricoh GR series.
@@ChrisEdgecombePhoto It is very good. Colors are fantastic. I have 3 of them
