The GR is also my everyday camera, and I think that's how I first found your channel. Always fun to see a new video of yours. :)

@TheLiamGordon 5 месяцев назад

Oh nice! Thanks so much for watching, Kary!

The GRiii is great and superior to the GR. I'm not trying to bash it. These are just my little idiosyncratic camera preferences that don't always make sense for others :)

Hey LG, i got the Fuji XM-1, good little camera doesn't have phase detection tho. I'm alwasys thinking about a GR. Good video. JT

@TheLiamGordon 5 месяцев назад

Thanks JT! I’m not sure the GR has phase detection either 😅 I bet that old Fuji is great though!

@-grey 5 месяцев назад

Solid point about the look of older sensors. I used to shoot the X70 for it. I think it's the lower dynamic range that does it and the processing they used to really push the limits of what they had at the time. Certainly not film, but a nice look none the less. Now that I'm primarily on the GRIII, I can sometimes get an almost similar look bumping up the mid luminosity in the colour grade module of LR. Still recommend older cameras to get it straight out of camera though. ✌️

@TheLiamGordon 5 месяцев назад

Yes I think the GRiii can have a similar look with a little tweaking and if given a couple of prints I’d never know the difference.

@DanHintz 5 месяцев назад

i am still using a 2009 GRD3 but i am thinking about picking up a GR on ebay, so this was helpful. thanks.

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

@jamesf2697 5 месяцев назад

OMG what would be amazing for this camera is a 90deg viewfinder that can go on the hotshoe so you can compose by looking down at it!

@TheLiamGordon 5 месяцев назад

I bet they’ll eventually add a flip up screen to the new GR, which will be kinda like that. There’s an older Panasonic lumix camera that has a viewfinder that you could tilt up to 90 degrees. I always thought it looked interesting to shoot with.

@jamesf2697 5 месяцев назад

@TheLiamGordon I have 2 cheap viewfinders on the way, 1 to try and the the other incase if I mess up. But I'm going to make one. Very basic just a box with a mirror at 45deg. Like the old medium formats that had the waist level viewers.

@nyomanambara7711 5 месяцев назад

My favorite camera, the og ricoh gr, bought in 2015 then died 3 years later. I just wish ricoh make better build quality camera. Try to buy it again but im afraid it will fail me again. Someone said its disposable digital camera.

@TheLiamGordon 5 месяцев назад

I've heard many stories of them being fragile. I think I've gotten lucky with mine. It has dust on the sensor too but it rarely shows up.

@martyjwalker 5 месяцев назад

I had two and they both croaked. Some of my favorite work is from one of these (the 10MP one I think) but they're just too fragile to keep re-buying.

@TheLiamGordon 5 месяцев назад

I've read so many tales of GR's dying that's why I'm so worried it will break. I've been lucky with it though. I had less luck with the X100V and X-Pro2. Both were done within a year.

@ZenoWatson 5 месяцев назад

I had my Ricoh GR for 8 years and like you I shot almost every day with it. Until it finally died when the lens would not go in when powered off. I use the GR3 now and love the extra megapixels, but I often think of that GR. It was my soulmate.

@TheLiamGordon 5 месяцев назад

The GRiii is excellent and superior in every way. I particularly enjoyed the GRiiix. I am a feelings not facts kind of photographer 😂 you probably made the smart choice.

@ZenoWatson 5 месяцев назад

@TheLiamGordon You stick to what makes you feel good to go out and shoot. I hope you camera lives on.

it probably just needed a new ribbon cable. had the same issue. quite a cheap fix, GR is still kicking

@ZenoWatson 5 месяцев назад

@@Diabol1 a new ribbon cable to fix the lens not working?

@Diabol1 5 месяцев назад

@@ZenoWatson yes. had the same issue. lens would go out when powered on and then get stuck when powered off. the shutter would sometimes get stuck closed too. Got the ribbon cable replaced and it’s still working to this day. The cable gets worn from constant moving along with the lens and loses connection when extended, or something like that.

@Gogogordy1 4 месяца назад

Good video…the “vibe” imo is when any machine (camera, car, bicycle, you name it) strikes something intangible in it’s holder to want to utilize that item as much for it’s intended purpose as possible.

@TheLiamGordon 4 месяца назад

I can get behind that. I get the vibe with the GR as well as a Leica M. No vibe from my Canon R6 😂

@gvnrchmnd 5 месяцев назад

The OG GR renders jpgs like no other camera. Not even the GRIII comes close. I too am on my second OG GR when the first one had the dreaded shutter cable split. FYI the Ricoh GRII is no different to the GR other than the addition of the wifi function.

@TheLiamGordon 5 месяцев назад

That’s what I thought but Samuel L Streetlife’s channel made me thing it might render jpgs slightly different. They’re probs the exact same but it planted a seed in my head.

@dasIDS 2 месяца назад

It's funny that I see on secondary (where I live) the original ones are more expensive than GRii and only about 1/4 cheaper than GRiii(x)

@TheLiamGordon 2 месяца назад

Yeah I believe there were more GRii made compared to the GR so maybe the availability changed things a bit. I’m pretty sure it’s almost identical other than having WiFi.

do you shoot raw with it or jpeg? I find it impossible to get good colors in ligthroom 6

@TheLiamGordon 2 месяца назад

I’ll usually shoot both and mostly use the jpg. Although all my NYC photos are raw but the only thing I adjust is exposure, WB, and contrast. White Balance was they key for me. Do you find the colors to look bad even in good light conditions?

@PrimoPaul21 21 день назад

Saw a GRDiii from 2009 online for under $350. Should I get that one?

@TheLiamGordon 21 день назад

I’ve never owned or used a grdiii. They do have great reviews online though. They have the older and smaller ccd sensor I believe. Maybe check some reviews and see what the image output looks like and if it suits your needs.

@cyrilstheone 2 месяца назад

It's shame that guys like you help bump the prices up on cameras. After all your only helping us out by showing these cameras. I'm still trying to get my hands on an XT20 best camera I ever used. But got the GRiiix for Christmas. Love it,but how do you get around the bad reflections on the back in sunny days?

@TheLiamGordon 2 месяца назад

Lintaro made me do it 😅 the xt20 is one that I think will be even more highly sought after in the future. With the reflections the best I could manage was squinting and using my hand as a shade. It’s not ideal.

@johncolquhoun6416 5 месяцев назад
