    I have the GR3 and absolutely love it. The entire GR lineup are legendary cameras. It's light weight, easy and quick to pack, it's very low profile and if you know what you are doing as a photographer you can capture some splendid images with it. It's also wide enough which allows you to capture different situations.

    My first camera, in 1960, was a Ricoh SLR that held up very well.
    I am really pleased that they are
    making cameras still.

      I have the Ricoh GR or one can call it the version 1. It was affordable but not the new GR3.. Unfortunately, the GR1 does not have Wifi, so, it is a bit troublesome to transfer my images into my Tab.

    Super camera. I printed some pictures 40x50cm and believe me the details hold great. It's an amazing little camera. Too bad for the dust issue, but you can't have everything. I shoot mainly wide open so it's not a big problem for me.

    • @SpencerWhiteman
      @SpencerWhiteman  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely! Yes the dust issue in an interesting topic, I know that the GRIII was supposed to clear that up a bit. I also shoot wide open most of the time so I never really seen dust on my sensor either ;)

    Is anyone experiencing a glitch with the GR2 when clicking the Menu button or the rocker to access options, when the shooting dial is in certain modes like P or Auto? The Menu screen and options suddenly disappear as if I clicked the Menu button or rocker to exit

    @sans3698 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love my GR2 as well. I'm pretty conscious about carrying my fuji in public and this camera really helps with that. My only issue is constant dust inside the sensor even after having a permanenent lens cover. Also, I have no wifi. Could this be a variant without wifi? Either way, I always have it with me and enjoy shooting with it.

    • @SpencerWhiteman
      @SpencerWhiteman  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey brotha! This little guy is all over the place, since it isn't sold new anymore, I believe the going rates are around 400 USD. It can easily get confused with another model called the Ricoh GR "Digital" ii, which is much cheaper, but it's older and doesn't output the same image quality. As far as the affiliate links go, I don't have any since it can only be purchased used ;(
