Canon 310 Elph has served me very well. Now that I have Topaz AI any jpeg grain in those pics skies is gone. I also have a nice Fuji X stash with a lot if vintage glass, but the shots I got with that 310 over 15 years are still the best. And you know why. Because it was with me.
I'll make this point again while that little camera is cool it is not an X 100 V and if you don't like the look of a camera you will not use it. You will get sick of me saying that because it is true the camera that you find appealing to the I will be the camera you will pick up, even if it has less specs. There are many legendary cameras that don't have particularly great specs but people like to use them and I think too many reviews on TH-cam are just looking at the specs and not the actual character of a camera.
The Ricoh GR has been noted as one of the top street photography performance cameras ever; still people choose to shoot on Leica or Fujifilm. Why, because of exactly the reason you pointed out. Aesthetics will put a person into a mindset and a process that creates a moment; all from capturing a picture with a camera that you choose at the beginning of the day. The nobs, the the fidgeting, optical view finder! Etc, etc. I have personally shied away from Ricoh literally because of it's looks. I know all about what it can do, its zone focusing capabilities, it's high res and quality images. It looks like a common point and shoot. I'm not an effing spy, i still want the thrill of hunting out a photograph. Of creating it as the scene unfolds in front me. Ricoh cameras just.... je ne sais quoi, they almost steal that away.
@@FTTPRO sure, it is and I wasn’t bagging that Richo camera. It is about liking the look of your camera. And it’s funny to be honest. If you had asked me this six months ago I probably would’ve said yes by the RECO as it’s probably a better camera inside. But I actually picked up a small Fuji film camera and then I realised why everyone said these cameras will make you want to take photos. And lo and behold it’s true. There are just some cameras that scream - pick me pick me ……take me out now. I’ll share this with you as it’s kind of funny even when I get back from my shoot I will put the Fuji film next to the MacBook as I’m editing. I actually like to look at it while I’m editing my photos and I just think that is so bizarre. And like I said I was probably never like that. Just on the cameras themselves. I don’t think there’s really a bad camera now. I think most of the cameras in the last 10 years are pretty good cameras and even before that there was still great cameras. Thanks for the correspondence. Have a great day and yes I’ll follow your channel
Lol, real photographers don’t give a shit what a camera looks like, they don’t trick out their cameras with goofy red soft shutters and $200 leather straps. The Ricoh GR, aside from being a gorgeous example of industrial design, is a legendary street camera. It is 1000% more discrete that a shiny silver X100, its pocketable, feels WAY better in the hand (no dumb add on grip needed), it’s literally made for street photography. Posers going on about camera aesthetics instead of images and handling are embarrassing. ;)
@@marike1100 I get where you’re coming from totally 100%. But do you buy a jacket and not wear it because it doesn’t look any good. Do you date that girl that you don’t like the look of…. And I know it’s an interesting analogy but we are a little vein is that all bad maybe maybe not it’s just human nature. It feels like you’re a little anti-Fuji film and that’s fair enough. And I’m sure the Richo camera Is a great camera. By the way, my button on my Fuji is not red it’s yellow. And yes I do have a leather strap that’s simply convenient to hold the thing … But it wasn’t $200. In fact, I made it myself for about 10 bucks out of an old belt.
🤔 It's another way of doing things....and having great results many times. Like choosing between a Mercedes or a Toyota...both great brands... and also very far away in many details.😅
Great camera, but I didn't get excited using it so traded in for... a FujiXe4, interchangeable lenses and far cheaper than a 100V. Super pleased with the results.
Ricoh has film simulations, huge size advantage, better integrated lens, and coming from an X-T4 owner, Ricoh colours resolve just as nicely in camera. No viewfinder is true, but they have to keep the size down somehow.
Just sold my x100f, viewfinder is a gimmick, it’s no leica anyway, doesn’t fit in the pocket like ricoh, it’s a big camera without the advantages of a big camera. Honestly I don’t know what’s the point of fuji. It tries to look like a vintage camera, but when you interact with it, it screams fake
I love mines. I’ve always said if they have a griiix with a f2 lens, I’d be set for life with a doc camera. They do have a gr digital which is 1.8 but focus is slow and no recipes I believe.
@@bagzhansadvakassov1093 how does it fare with moving objects like people walking on the streets? ive seen other youtube revies on the gr3 and some say that the af isnt as good when it comes to fast paced street photography. not sure though since havent really tried using a ricoh and im already satisfied with my fuji xt20 despite it being bigger than the ricoh.
@@theluckystreet how’s your experience on the x-t20 will you say it’s okay. Will u recommend it for someone who wants to start film photography asking for myself. Thanks
@@cassiecelestine3488 xt20 is digital though. if you're looking to start film photography, id recommend buying the cheapest point and shoot you can find. but if you wanna try out xt20, yes, i recommend it. I got mine for 600 cad with xf 18-55mm lens included and man it was such a steal! I've taken so many great photos with it. you can never go wrong with any fujifilm cameras :))
No viewfinder, no tilt screen for those candid shots, no WR, retractable lens and dust, plastic, composing pictures similar like using your phone. It's a great camera for snapshots
Sure it's in stock. No dust sealing, very slow, no flash, no viewfinder, dated autofocus. The X100v crushes the GRIII and I had both, but sold the GRIII.
@@balboa0621 The AF is slow compared to the X100V, which is always snappy and more accurate. It's frame rate is barely 4 FPS while the X100V is more than twice as fast. This is important for action and street work when you want to shoot a sequence. The X100v lens is also faster and sharper wide open at F2 vs. 2.8. Had them both, but he biggest weakness of my GRII and GRIII were the lack of viewfinders. It's really terrible in bright light.
@@robertbrody4032 I think you are the first person in the history of the world who is shooting an x100 series at greater than 4fps. If that's your criteria, then I can't argue with that. I'm not sure you'll find many people who agree with you about the sharpness of the lens. I've owned several x100 cameras but not the v, but I can say that the Ricoh lens is extremely sharp, much sharper than comparable x series glass. The sharpness of the Ricoh lens is universally praised.
@@balboa0621 Nonsense. a LOT of shooters do sequence work and want fast frame rates. It's not just for wildlife and even works great for candids and baby portraits when moments are fleeting and timing doesn't always work. Yes, the GRIII lens is sharp, but the X100v lens has been redesigned, is faster and even sharper with superior rendering of OOF zones. The AF on the X100v is also much better and of course it has that amazing hybrid finder that allows you work in any light and see settings clearly. Composition on the GRIII in bright light isn't exactly easy and many shooters "crop to compose." The X100v is absolutely more expensive, but it's worth it because it's far more capable and also handles a lot better. The only issue? Very tough to get! Backordered forever now. ;-(
@@stx7389 I think what you mean to say is you don't like to edit your own photos, so you prefer that apple/google engineers do it for you. Because other than that, it's just physics. A small cell phone camera sensor just isn't as effective as larger sensors. So you like the software that is implemented on top of it to compensate. That's fine, not everyone likes that. Other people prefer to edit their own photos, and they'll get a lot more out of a larger sensor and lightroom/capture one.
One problem, it doesn’t look as handsome as the X100v
🤔 so does that stop it taking banging images....
That just makes it less of a thief magnet 🧲
@@kiwipics I've heard it's starting to happen a lot now.
@@cyrilstheone yesss
It looks very minimalistic. Honestly I’m going to buy it. 100V is so hyped up and too expensive.
When I think of the GRIII I think of Sean Tucker! Great to see you exploring the camera as well
I love that it fits in my pocket. You just can't always carry a bulky camera.
One of the best cameras out there
This camera is the bomb. I have it and its great even without a flash
Yours are the some of the only youtube shorts I don't hate. To the point and always looping perfectly.
Thanks my friend. That’s a big compliment
@@Reggiebphoto Thank YOU for raising the bar for this format!
This is perfect but wish it had a flash though
Bro - the breathing 😂
Should I hold my breath?
@@Reggiebphoto yes that’s how all the others do it during the duration of the recording. A few of them pass out on occasions but overall it’s smoother
@@Reggiebphoto The breathing does seem to be particularly loud. Maybe the mic is too close to your mouth? Otherwise great video, love the ASMR-y sounds
Naw, I just breath loud.
I still don’t get why they ditched the flash, I know the sensor is very large for that body but I think they could’ve fitted a small unit.
A popup flash isn't really suitable for a street camera. And built in flashes are usually pretty bad anyways.
I worked on the gr3 and decided not to put in a flash because I hate it.
@@DavidDavoDavidson it's really unfortunate of you.
Love my Ricoh. Just wish it had an accessory EVF...
Ttartisans have one designed for Ricoh, I believe..your welcome
It's a bit dated now with it's numerous special editions. Refresh is well overdue. Opportunity to address QC problems. So much potential ❤
And we're still waiting for a refresh?
@IsiakaOo perhaps you are. I’m happy shooting with my camera
@@IsiakaOo I really want one, think the Ricoh GR would be right up my street, but a bit reluctant to buy if they release a new one in three months.
@@sisdl15 that's exactly why I'm planning to wait.
@@sisdl15 I understand... I saw one for $500 and almost pulled the plug... But I ended up cancelling it.
Hello Negative Film!
Lens moves when turning on and off is a big no for me.
And the movie simulations?
It has some built-in and it accepts 3rd party simulations, there’s also an app to load them, the community is very active to bring new ones.
haha not anymore
Not in shock anymore
isn’t ricoh the same as pentax?
Yup

i’m thinking of buying the x100f instead of the v and ricoh, good idea ?
Only you can validate if it will be a good idea. You tell us!
It is! But it got pricey as well after the V became unavailable everywhere.
Apples and oranges.
@sisdl15 and yet, people ask you all the time “what is your favorite fruit?”
Waiting to receive it tomorrow 😍
And 2.8 …
Biggest problem is lack of view finder. If I wanna use a screen I’ll use my iPhone 15’s nifty 3x camera.
Go for it
Very Pete McKinnon.....
nice!
I see the battery is the some shit like on Sony RX100
Sadly it has gone up a lot in price and is now becoming harder to find as well 😢
Question now is. Is it better ?
no
its for those who just aint got IT.
Sounds cheap lol 😂
Doesn't compare at all to the 100v in any shape way or form
Nope. But it gets people commenting 😂
XE4 looks better
Question is does it have fujis colors
It does actually. Check out my recipe video
how's the experience with the autofocus?
Nahh missing a viewfinder (and flash)
But better?
Minus is not good looking
And better! I have the griii and the griiiX
and without viewfinder
Can you put a Godox trigger on it ?
Whats different about this compared to a phone?
You literally can say this about every camera on the market lol
Does it have full manual adjustments?
X100v is back in stock… they have a new factory
Nice!
Looks like a toy
Low light is so noisy
Hi where from you bought it ?
How much
