RICOH GR IIIx - A True Companion
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2021
- The brand new Ricoh GR IIIx has a fixed 40mm lens (FF equiv.). This was always my second favourite focal length after 28mm and in this video I show you what makes it so special.

Even though the GR III does not WR I can tell you it can take some hits due to recent experience. I slipped and fell waist deep into a glacier lake recently in Norway, my GR in my hand having the strap not attached to my wrist. So my GR was floating in the lake for a few seconds in ice cold water. After the accident I took out the battery and cleaned of the water a bit. But then also continued shooting a bit. (I know you shouldn't do that..) The photos had a little foggy look to them. Then I turned the camera on and took the battery out while it was on, so the lens would stay open and extended. I put it on a desk for a night with the battery door open as well. Since then, the fog disappeared and it works as before, pictures look like before. Long story short, the GR definitely can take a little rain etc. as it works perfectly now after having been covered in ice cold water for a short amount of time.
This is really helpful to know as most folks not happy with it not being sealed from water & dust
Excited for this premiere! Watched your vid on GR’s channel too
Haven't been this excited for a camera release in years!
@samuel thankful to see you've kept your connection with Ricoh, I hope they recognize how much you help them. I cant think of anyone better to ask them directly about having an LCD ON AF/half-press firmware setting that turns off immediately after preview. this way the LCD is only on during the actual act of shooting/review, keeping stealthy but more crucially saving battery (our darling camera's achilles heel). or at least adding more options to the Auto Sleep Mode (10, 15, 30 sec) would also serve our poor batteries greatly. thank you and please continue this great thing going 🙏🏼
Change your display settings so that the disp button turns off the screen and use that between shots
Have to add one of these to my bag for sure. Can’t wait to see your Q2 review 😉
Hi, Q2/GRiii owner, here! Love both cameras. Often, I carry both with me. For street photography/travel, you can’t beat the GR’s compact size - (the Q2 is bulky in comparison, wearing mine around my neck.) There are many pluses to owning the GRiii or GRiiix over the Leica Q2. Firstly, the sensor. Compared to the digital cameras I own, the GR produces the best colour and black and white files, period. The RAW files, are also incredible, as they are DNG’s. Secondly, USB-C charging. Yes, the GRiii’s battery is limited, compared to the Q2. But the in-body charging makes all the difference. I love that. Wish I could plug in my Q2 to USB-C (like the SL2) but that’s down to waterproofing. My biggest dislike is the charging times for the Q2 battery. You’re out of the game until then. The Ricoh GRiii can do everything, more or less, that the Q2 can do. With advantages as mentioned above. Excited to try the GRiiix - if Ricoh did a full body SL2 style camera, I wouldn’t look back. I trust them. Ricoh is the future of digital photography.
@@courtneysmith731 I also own the GR III as well as the Q2. Love them both. definitely prefer the Q2 but the GR III ends up coming with me more often because of it’s tiny size (and incredible quality images). I will definitely be adding GR IIIx to my bag as soon as it is available :)
Looks very tempting! 😍
Pre ordered it already:). It’s the most excited I’ve been about a camera in years.
The photos look so clean and calm! I was wanting to try out 50mm but this might be it.
Splendid video as always 🙏🏼🤍
Thanks man :D Love the "real" look of them
Great video! 📸🎉 Amazing photographs taken with the GR IIIx!
Thank you!!
Very good RICOH GR IIIx 40mm review with a lot of pictures!
Super good Video about the RICOH GR IIIx now i want to buy one!!
Cool! Appreciate this video!
Great video format! Just the way I like it and also these were some great images! Keep it up man
Nice, thanks man!
Great video show off for the GR X Samuel. Thank you. And I’m getting one. Cant wait to get out on the street.
Bought myself a new gr iiix today after work. I liked the griii girnst but. Of the 28mm equiv focal format. Finally did it! Still in box. I’ll unbox tomorrow. 😊
Ohhhh I really want one of these. I loved my original GR so much for street and sadly it died after a fight with a wave. This new 40mm looks even better than the 28mm.
Those slow shutter shots are 👌👌
That lens looks really sharp and have a personal look to it! Nice move from Ricoh
Yes! I was really surprised
Sales just increased the moment this video dropped! This is interesting to see the 40mm on the GR
Compared to Canon and Panasonic cameras, Ricoh applies very little noise reduction in JPGs. I really like 40mm. I'm loving the GR IIIx. Thanks for the video.
Some of my favorite photos were taken with a film Leica CL with the 40mm Summicron. Like you said, 40mm is a very “natural” focal length.
I really enjoyed your video. I've been a Fuji user for quite a while, but I'm intrigued by the Ricoh. Seems like the perfect compact camera. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Geoff!
Wow. This was amazingggggggggg
I just purchased this mahalo nui to your videos about it … as well as others out there loving on it!
Of course the GR iiix is announced 5 days after I get the GRiii which I love and would love more if it had a 40mm focal length which is my fav. But I love the 28mm too but I also need a 40mm but I need to pay rent and buy food and stuff. Maybe I can just starve for a few months, that way I can have both!
Nah, who needd food anyways, right? :D I got mine a few weeks ago and am really tempted to buy the x. But I just love my iii and the almost infinite depth of field.
@@Nearest_Neighbor I know, it's inevitable that I'll get the iiix and keep the GR iii. That 28mm field of view coupled with Ricoh's tech can't be beat but there is something about the 40mm. I only get to shoot in that focal length on my Minola CLE and whenever I view the negatives the feeling I get from that depth of field is different/better than any other. In my opinion. The 28mm field of view has a similar magic if you compose correctly.
@@Ibibiogal Don't say that! I need to suppress that thought! 😅 The second I saw this in my news feed I was: "Damn, I guess I need to buy a second GR now." But I really have to work at my gas. The GR is the first digital camera with which I feel somewhat connected. Quite literally, it's always in my hands when I'm out. Now I try to 'force' myself to use it for the foreseeable future until I can justify my dream camera(s).
They don't call it a starving artist for no reason lol
I have the 28mm griii as well and am thinking about keeping it and getting the 40mm version later.
Nice - best video I have seen thus far as I am considering the X seriously. Have not bought a new camera in @ 10 years!
Perfect video! Ill probably go with this over adding the 27mm to my fuji kit (when I can afford it)
Amazing video man👍
Trawling for vids on griiix (as just got one to partner my street edition), and found this one from you Sam, nice one! Mad that I have a Rollei Magic II as well as Maya! Bought it as a repair project but it’s way beyond my capabilities…….looking forward to shooting with the X thanks for the vid
I use the 8.1 megapixel GR digital which has a 5.9 mm 2.4 lens. HUGE depth of field. I absolutely love it. For €130 it's a bargain.
I use my Soviet Cosmic Symbol 35mm film camera with a 40mm f4
I will get a Gr11 next because I like a built on flash
The first shot of the guy in the mirror is my favorite. I think the colors!
Glad you liked it!
Nice shots of Hamburg. I made a short visit a few years ago when I was part of a group visiting the Montblanc factory. The main reason I haven’t been back is that there are no direct flights from where I am. I think I’ll also get the x to go with the III.
I'm about to get my first Ricoh GR, but this GRiiix made me doubt! Hard to decide. Years ago, in the analog era, use to shoot on 35mm. Thanks Samuel for (another) great video.
Great vidéo ! Thx
That frame with the girl running up the steps was incredible. The shadows leading to the bird silhouette. The pillars framing the girl and the subtle green arrow guiding my gaze from right to left makes this photo even more provocative from a cinematographic point of view.
Just need to get rid of the dustbin at the front. Lots of ads on this one including one from Light room which shows it doing just that.
After watching many of your videos you convinced me to by the GR iii street edition
Looking forward to the premiere! 📸
Please put 4k video in the next camera 🙏
@@detectivejonesw please have it be able to focus while filming 🙏
please add 10, 15, 30 second options to the lcd auto-sleep-mode 😴 🙏🏽
What will the price be in usd?
I want both! with tele and wide conversions! Take my money!
Those photos look so clean, I’m convinced 😯
What a nice shot at 8.06. Cool man...
Thank you!
Love the calm intimate explanations of the video!! And love it's color science too! Do your color grade it or is it Fuji natural magic?
I love my GR3. Pleased with a high percentage of images straight out of camera...However your images with the x are super sharp, specially the portraits. Her dark hair and dark jacket look amazing. The detail in hr camera as well. Thanks well done.
Thank you Tim! Yes the new lens is very sharp!
Hamburg has some beautiful light. The way the portraits look with such beautiful light and the white balance looks so on point.
Loved the"... this video is not sponsored by Square Space..."
I was waiting for Samuel's video after seeing Kai and Lok playing with the GRIIIX. Can't wait to get my hands on it as 40mm is the most ideal, do-it-all focal length!
Hehe appreciate that!
35mm is the best
Also enjoying 40mm: GFX50R / 50mm,3.5 and for 28 mm the Q2. My very first camera in 1981 was a AGFA Optima 40 mm / 2.8; though quite familiar to the focal length. Maybe, the GR IIIx will come next...
Might be the best GR IIIx review not just for now, but of all times. Because time was spent not only to take good example photos, but due to the effort to explain about 40mm FOV. From my not common FOV, 40mm POV it is just too narrow. I like GRD cameras I have, but I constantly reach for 21mm. Layers and framing is still achievable with 21, but you have to like to be close. Which is not always good during COVID.
Glad to hear you appreciated this new approach. Thanks for the comment!
Im just waiting for some sort of preorder date to show up in Canada, ive been waiting on a compact above 35mm for a long time!
Thanks Samuel, I ‘m not an, in your face, shooter either. Love my x100f. But starting to love my KP with 40mm Ltd .
I always used gr, it's last series, from I to III and the one thing that was missing was right focal lenght. I've been using pentax 43mm lens for a while and i love it. Think i am going to sell my gr IIi and get x one.
Sell me your GR iii next year :p
How much you want for it?
i am in for this one 2. I have the GRIII. For the other focal lenghts greater than 28mm i use the Panasonic GX9 for the moment. I only hope (wish) for the next GR Ricoh will do something about the lcd screen (pretty shitty in bright sunlight) and maybe also batterylife without making the camera grow in seize or weight 2 much
Thinking of getting the gr lll lately but also having a pocketable fuji 18mm x70 it makes sense to go for the X now
damn Sam. You've sold me on it. Thanks for the samples. I sold my Sony A7iii a few days ago. It was gathering dust. I can still use my wife's A7ii if necessary, but my GRiii is used 70% of the time, followed by an RX1r. I guess the cash from the A7iii will be paying for a iiix soon :-)
When i got the notification on your gr3x video. I guessed. I bet it just has like a 40mm lens and... i was right !
Mine comes in tomorrow, can’t wait! Now if only Leica made the coming Q3 with a 40mm option 🤤
Nice realistic unslick video, the best👍
I was waiting for this video so much! I can't wait to buy one to finally undersrand what this camera can do... or better, what can I do with this camera! :P At the moment I use Fujifilm X100F, especially for street photography POV videos on my channel, but this beauty makes me so curious! Thank you Samuel, I wait the next video... xx Giuliana
Yes, it is more important what the photographer can do with a camera than what the camera can do for the photographer :D But both the X100F or the GR III are excellent tools in the hands of photographers.
Holy shit this gonna be my new dream setup. Ricoh gr ii in one pocket , gr iii X in the other :D
Great video ! Im really impressed by the quality of these photos.
Yeah probably the same for me. Have the II but didnt see that much point in upgrading for the way I use it but with a different focal length that's a whole different story.
@@skypekai True same. The iii is nice for sure but not really worth the big price increase for me. I also prefer the positive film on the ii
I wanted a gr and I do love the 40mm focal length but I have to choose between this new baby and the gorgeous colour on the street edition. I have a long time to decide still
It does look amazingly sharp. This new lens. For me the 28mm view is more useful. Holding out for a GR iv
wow, the gr3x really does have good sharpness! still Hodling for a gr4 for the 28mm focal length, as I already have a x100v, a 40mm would be too close to warrant another camera.
The GR IV will be interesting! Can't wait to find out what ricoh has in store. And yes, having both a X100 and a GR does only make sense when the focal length is different enough.
The photo of the GR with the turntable freaked me out a little. I have a similar turntable on a similar stereo cabinet. I wondered how you got one of my photos! 😂✌️
2:27 for a moment there - I thought all the buildings behind you were moving! Lol!
Great video, I'm a bit confused on why you prefer Tv to Av when Av is critical for zone focusing. Thx Sam great work at helping us understand these cameras better as usual
Hi Elias, sorry for the late reply! I prefer TV with the GR because the depth of field is much broader than full frame and I can get a lot more in focus (even with 2.8) than with a full frame camera. And in Av mode you give up control over speed which is very important for street photography. I compensate aperture by manually setting a higher ISO value to raise the aperture value.
My two favorite digital cameras have been the GR ii and the GXR A12 50mm Macro module (my favorite lens on any format ever). This new GR iiix strikes me as potentially an ideal blend of the two- I do a lot of my shooting in the near-macro range (rarely at the minimum focusing distance of the GXR module). I'd love to see how this new lens performs at its closest focusing distances. With the higher sensor resolution and cropping I imagine it would still meet my near-macro shooting needs as well as the GXR macro module, which I have now loved to death and need to replace!
I don’t think that your GXR and GRii have that much in common with the iii. They are very well engineered with few compromises.
@@DaTrip2warez I'm not sure I understand what you mean? They certainly are all well engineered, but share many things in common. The GR ii more or less shares its form factor with the iii x, while the GXR A12 is closer to its focal length. All of them share Ricoh's UI sensibilities and optical design/coating principles. If the iii x performs well at minimum focus distance, it will combine the aspects I most enjoy about each of the two preceding cameras.
awesome
Great shots! Have you ever edited Ricoh RAW files in Capture One?
Haha you totally got me because the GFX50SII announced like the night before and I thought you got one sent to you from Fuji. I swear thats why...DONT LOOK AT ME!
Good work. ;)
Not really a fan of 40mm equivalent lens, but it's great to have an option!
The images look so sharp and clean from GRIII x! I think Ricoh got a winner lens here. The only concern I have are their build quality and lousy app. My GRIII front blue ring dropped off, the back button was not aligned properly. The wifi connection was iffy. And the app was available to download 1year after I got the camera. Even then it was full of bugs and not as good as a third party app written by a Korean hobbyist. Please Ricoh announce a new 30-40% larger capacity battery in the same shape and form, just like Canon Nikon Fuji did.
I just enjoyed watching this because I miss Hamburg so much.
:')
Oh yeah, that new focal length is tempting. :3
Power move
I picked up both the 28 and 40mm versions of the GRIII. I’ll be the first one to admit that being a Leica addict, I’m having a blast using these tiny cameras. The files look amazing. The handling is amazing. I use it in zone focus and don’t miss a shot. I’m tempted to pick up one of the 35mm film versions of this camera as well.
@@CyrusDM 40. Performance seems much better on it.
Which focal length do you prefer?
@@elliotresnick5433 40mm. Insanely sharp.
THE "YO YO WHATS UP" JUMPSCARE at 00:59
If you do snap at f16, what is the distance that the image will be in focus? is it 2,5m till infinity?
I've been thinking a lot about this camera, and I'm really curious about the Ricoh GT-2 tele adapter. . . Have you used it? Would you do a video on it?
I got excited
40mm is a nice field of view but much prefer the 28mm
I rather wait for the next GR
With hopefully the added flash & positive film from I / II.
Or just buy the grii 😃
I was going to get the GR3 (28mm) but now I'm not sure which focal to use😜. Maybe will get the 28mm because nature of snapshot camera and getting everything into the frame.
I have first GR, and GR3x will be my second pocket size cam!
Good combination!
Hi Samuel, great video as always!
You are the reason that I got one of the first and best photo albums that I own, "Friction/Tokyo Street by the amazing Tatsuo Suzuki"...
I have one probably irrelevant question, but please allow me so... Could you tell me where you got and how much did it cost, the beautiful grey jacket that you wear in the beginning of this video? Thank you very much for your time and keep going stong and creative!
there's some vignetting at f2.8 on lok cheung's hands on video, did u encounter it as well? i'm personally owning the xe4 with the new 27mm (42mm equiv) lens, the 40mm look definitely feels great for everyday use.
6:12 top notch photo. The strange lighting and perspective effects make it look super flat and generally surreal.
Some vibes of Harry Gruyaert's best work (IMO)
The shot at 3:20 😍
"this video is not sponsored by square space" haha that's a good one!
Wow, those are sharp! I thought my old GR was sharp. But this one is great! Any thoughts on dust resistance? The old ones were know for letting dust in. That all said will Ricoh continue to offer the III along with the IIIx?
Been bumping my GR3 around since the initial release. It remains dust free - the new SR cleaning mechanism really works.
I use a fuji xe3 and I'm always on my 18mm f2 and 27mm f2.8 when people are involved.
Wished this focal length was available when I got the griii for my wife. She is still uncomfortable with how wide it is.
4:52 you are channeling your inner Ulysses Aoki. Good impression.
Nice pictures bro" love from india.
hi, i need some advice for an ideal camera for ultimate family photos and i'm undecided between the gr III x or fujifilm x100v or x-e4 that is the most creative and fun camera that will entice me to take it with me, thanks
Great “die biene maja” cameo
2:21, the world moving is a really trippy image ..
Hi just want to ask you - is the Ricoh GR IIIx made in Vietnam? Thanks for the answer.
whats strange about back ground separation is - "who made that the standard?" and im reminded how zone focusing in street photography is very common - shooting at your f8 or more - so what back ground separation are we even looking for?
in any case a very interesting progressing for GR and here's to fuji to bring new lens type for their X100V or maybeeee X80??
thanks for the video - and hope to see more of this camera as well.
Yes exactly! I am happy with the look I get even if its "only" 2.8.
What amount of megapixels do you get with the digitial zooms? And can you shoot in raw with digital zoom?
Sorry Samuel, yes, " It's easier to find/frame a a subject". That is why I sold my x100f even though I loved it. What I want is either an x100 with a 27mm-40mm equiv. lens or, an x100 with a bigger sensor , think Q2 so we can crop the crap out of an image if/when we want to.
@Samuel I like the snap focus feature a lot, but it is a bit hard to get it right with 40mm?
Stay compact should be name of your channel
Nice preview Samuel. Thanks. Curious what the snap focus distances depth of field are? They are certainly narrower than the 28mm. Ricoh has not put the manual online yet.
Uh hard to say without knowing the actual data on that. But it isn't that much more difficult then using a 35mm for zone focusing.
I'm getting one :D
