Great vid, I hated having choices so I sold all my Canon and Sony gear now have the GR3x as my only camera and love the challenge of the fix focal length, the Jpegs are awesome. People will always talk about the negatives of owning a Ricoh but hey, I've got only positives to say.
You have to understand many Gen-z grew up with parents making 6-7 figures a year. To them $1-2k is nothing😂 I grew up poor so budget camera to me is $30-100. It's all perspective I guess
budget is absolutely the wrong word, however compared to other cameras that fill the same niche it's quite a bit cheaper. the main issue is that the price hasn't changed despite the camera being 5 years old.
I have to say I think it’s weird how popular the film recipe aspect of these cameras blew up. I’ve been using gr’s for ages, and people didn’t really ever talk about the filters. It was basically just “the black and white filters are nice” haha
Mine is coming today. I have a sony a7iii and feel like Its on my shelf too often. Want the Ricoh especially for that feeling of just alway having a camera to take with me when I leave the house. Excited to experience it.
I’m fortunate enough to have the GRiiix and Q2 - I use the Q2 way more often because it has an EVF. The screen on the Ricoh is unusable in bright sunlight which isn’t “fun”. I noticed most of your images were at night which is when the Ricoh really comes alive.
It’s like rediscovering pocketable film point and shoot, but digital and with limited compromises. Haven’t messed with any of the newer GR’s, (maybe someday) personally I’ve really enjoyed the snapshot ability of my GRDigital iii. Ricoh gets it!
Cool camera but way too overpriced. I get that the magic of the camera is that it is pocketable and light but it's just too expensive for its performance level. If you're going to buy a $900 camera you could get the Fuji XT30II and that would just blow this out of the water in terms of performance.
You answered the exact reason in the comments as to why I don't want the Fuji XT30II. I am not going for performance. For someone like myself where I am in life the cost of this to get what I PERSONALLY want is just fine. But I appreciate your input.
I have gone back to my old Canon ixy cameras and they are a lot of fun. Sure the sharpness, dynamic range, blah blah blah is not there, but once in a while you capture the moment in a way that a high-end camera would not. Embrace the noise, the flaws and the blurriness.. its about the feels.
I had the GR3x and sold it. Battery life is crazy!! When you go out to shoot, you are never quiet, you always think about it is not possible. If Ricoh release a new GR4, and if it has: 1/ a good life battery 2/ a tiltable screen 3/ a viewfinder, I will buy it without any doubt.
“Budget Fuji X100” how can you say that. The pricing is similar and it’s a completely different camera. That said nice video however the F Bomb every other sentence doesn’t add to the value of your content, it’s cringy 🙏

is the dusty sensor a real problem? People keep talking about dusts getting into the sensor. Is it real or overblown?
Hearing Ricoh GR and budget in the same sentence is crazy…

Love the honesty and rawness of this video. No fluff, just real. Got a sub!

I just ordered the GR3X, can't wait to use it. Like you, I'm going to be carrying it around everywhere documenting things.
I love the mindset behind this camera.
3:41 I felt that “idk” 😂
Awesome summary. I feel the same about mine!
This video’s thumbnail was better than the video itself
I would never take criticism from a person named yoyomanmanholla.
@ but yomama is right eh?
TH-cam handle matters much to you?
Great Video! This is the truth go back it shoot have fun and enjoy any camera. Going back to basics is what we started from.
RICOH GANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Camera is dope
Dope video! Been looking for a camera like this for a while...Seems like a solid choice! 👀
The "draw" of these cameras was NOT the recipes, but unfortunately, that's what it turned into thanks to the hype.
Fantastic video content. I'll be keeping eyes on the camera and consider it.
the film background noise behind the photos is so incredibly distracting I had to pause to actually look at the photo
You will survive.
Excellent reasoning. I want one.
Just subscribed. It was amazing listening to you talk so passionately about photography. Thank you

Appprox £100, used.

Sorry, but your pics don't do it justice 😂😂
Guess you should make a video then huh🤷♂️
Can u let us know what recipe u used at 0:24 and where can i find the settings.
Thanks for sharing! Is that Dean (AverageDad) @ 2:18?

random question but where did you get that Uphill hat?

@@BigE thanks 👍
Everytime i find a camera i like its sold out lmao ahhhhhhhh
noooooo
Dope little camera!
yes Ricoh griiix, yes Clairmont Lounge......followed because ATLANTA! Keep up the great videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
You're talking too loud!! Can't quite hear the "bckground" music
Try a Olympus EM5 mark i, ii or ii, or EM10 any version as well, you will love them.
I have gone back to my old Canon ixy cameras and they are a lot of fun.

im sorry to say this but the picture you took with that gr 3 look similar to an iphone camera
I had the GR3x and sold it.
Battery life is crazy!! When you go out to shoot, you are never quiet, you always think about it is not possible.
If Ricoh release a new GR4, and if it has:
1/ a good life battery
2/ a tiltable screen
3/ a viewfinder,
I will buy it without any doubt.
I’m a star mom!
Hipster camera
Blessed to be able to live my life and have hipster cameras🫡
@@BigE hell yea brother

Then turn off the video and go watch someone else. You’re clearly not my target audience and I am clearly not the creator you want to see. Enjoy🫡
💪🏾 first
Like your Ricoh GR iii camera presentation, a great camera, however your F-bomb language needs some clean-up, dude! Otherwise, I liked the video.
Don't see anything special about these pictures. Can buy an old CCD for $50 and it does better.
So do it. Live your life, I’m going to live mine🫡
No disrespect…. ^this guy doesn’t get it
Yeah until you want to print a larger format image. Always 1 karen in the comments.
@@iaido01 LOL, print this images? You are a blind bat.
Dynamic range without digital feel like iphone is the main selling point imo
Bro- you might be the first person Ricoh sponsors to NOT recommend their camera. Get yourself a used CCD and move along already.
Not a sponsor, I’m good my man, enjoy🫡
Good video, but you need to sharpen yourself up especially, the language. You don't come over as a professional.
I’m not professional, it’s a TH-cam video, the fuck🤣
lol so much bullshit unsolicited advice in your comment section
@@BigEyeah, you got that right. You’re not a professional. In any field, if this is the range of your vocabulary.
let me guess...you vote blue, need a safe place and confused about your gender identity😂
