Canon S95, the Killer of Ricoh GR III? 

That's amazing, killer deal! Take good care of it and make a lot of creative photos ;).

That's amazing 🤩 congratulations on great found! What else is possible?

Great find! You’ll get more than your money’s worth for sure. Even at 10x that amount, it’s still a great value

I am sorry to hear that you sold both of them. Maybe you will have the chance to buy another one at a good price :). I mean, we all know Ricoh GR is the King when it comes to "pro" level compact, but this Canon S95 is very capable Digicam, with lovely Canon colors.

I have a grd og too. Awesome edc

Yes, I kinda been impressed to of the quality of this little jam camera, very responsive and easy to use it and yes the lovely Canon colors :D.

Same here, I traded it in with a bunch of DSLR gear & got around $40 for it. Its a sleeper camera & well worth what they go for on ebay

That's why you have a flash to use it when the camera is struggle in the night or use long exposure on a tripod for night photography. Using direct flash is trendy now, you can get even drag shutter effects.

It seems to me that history begs to differ & the Ricoh is what killed the S lineup of camera. Canon hasn’t made the “S” models for years while Ricoh is still releasing new GR III models. I have an S95 & it’s a great camera but when you compare its capabilities to the GR III & it’s not even close. Plus there are very few instances where a zoom lens beats a prime. Given a choice, I’m almost always going to pick the prime. Either way, history already settled it & Ricoh is still making GR models, while Canon’s S line has been dormant for a decade

Absolutely! I had the same experience. I love prime lenses and I shoot weddings with F1.2 and 1.4, but once I've discovered the digicams especially the early 2000 ones with a CCD, it is a dream shooting with them, because of the aesthetics and colors you get out of the camera. The convenience of shooting with a small camera that you can have in to you pocket and stay creative every day, for me is a lovely experience.

Yep, small package, yet so powerful tool

100% Agree! I hope to trift one :D, if not I will buy one fore sure :)). The build quality of the Ricoh GR body is solid, one of a kind and the aesthetics is what I am crazy about. Until then, this Canon S95 will still do the job :))

Once you get use to it, is a lovely tool for creativity.

Thank you, Sir! 🙂

Yes, the Canon S95 will not beat Ricoh GR for sure, its heve a small sensor compare to Ricoh GR who have a CMOS, and I think is way better build then Canon S95. Now Canon is much more affordable and have that lovely CCD sensor of 1/1.7 in in small package with Canon color science. If I could buy a Ricoh for 100 Euro, I would do it now..:D, but we all know that will not happen unless someone donate it to me or I trift one..

@@finecams_club agreed. Like i said, S95 is the best of the 1/1.7" sensor cameras for sure. Also the last of the ccd. Everything went cmos after that

@@frankartale1026 Btw, I notice that the GR III have the same size sensor.. Now of course GR III have better dynamic range :D

@@finecams_club no, the griii in the video has an APSC sensor. Ricoh does have an old line of 1/1.7" sensor gr camera's as well

Yes, but is in the same price as Ricoh GR and very rare.. Nikon Coolpix A is on my list to, but I would not spend more then 250€... On ebay now is around 509-600 to 1k... and extremely rare..

Nikon Coolpix A is an option, but to expensive and rare..

Bla bla bla boring, I am not here to talk about technicalities you are on the wrong channel, my friend. It is just a digicam that you can take nice pictures and have some great futures, this doesn't mean is the best camera in the world. For bokeh are better alternative and bigger cameras. Yes, the sensor is less then 1 inch. On this channel we talk about small, compact practical best for your money camera. Have you ever use this camera, if not, then don't talk.

There is not such a thing as the best camera. In this era most of the cameras are good. This is not the best camera in the world is just a Digicam that can be a great tool in the hands of a good photographer.

@@finecams_club thank you.. my main focus is on making good quality videos.

At the time ot was released it was considered a premium/highend compact. I had one back in the day, and regret selling it when I got a Sony RX100 mk2.

@@KlausKokholmPetersen True, it was considered a high-end compact. Well, Sony RX100 mk2 is nice to, I hope I get the hands on one for a good price. From a build quality stand point, I think Sony have an "edge"over Canon. I had the chance to hold one in a store, and it seems a solid piece of camera. and of course Sony have more specs.. but still I have to get used to the colors..

I edit them just a little bit, some S curves, and a bit of contrast nothing more. I intend to shoot more without edits, or before and after.
