Fred Miranda my dude. You can find X100Vs for $1500, paying no tax. Before TikTok went nuts I got my V there for $1090. These days though, same as retail, or less. Got my dust-filled GRiii for $600 there. Just be a member in good standing. Eventually you can use the classifieds board. Pay 20-40% less.
Very accurate comparison of the GR3 and X100V! I have both as well and agree with just about everything you said. I probably take the Ricoh out more since it's so pocketable and the weight is much nicer for hiking, snowshoeing, or camping. It's wonderful for snapshots. The dials and EVF on the X100V make it more fun to shoot with though IMHO. I find it more inspiring since it feels like a "real" camera.
Great comparison bro! I think if I had to choose, I’d go with the Fuji because I really like 35mm equivalent lenses, plus the battery, OVF, and tilt screen make it seem more versatile and enjoyable! I couldn’t bring myself to pay that amount of money for a fixed lens camera though haha
Had the X100V sold it and bought the GRIII. No regrets. It truly is a pocketable powerhouse with a more versatile lens and the ability to set the fn button as AE override (while camera is in manual mode) is invaluable when moving from one lighting condition to another and you need to capture a quick grab shot. A true street camera.
I love ricoh for the size, but not the price lol. Ricoh win in image quality, better color and contrast than fuji, but...too fragile and hard to repair, once it's broken, better buy a new one. Nice comparison. Subscribed.
