@japanvintagecamera8869 3 года назад

I have first generation GR III, and it is still an amazing camera. I got an old Rolleiflex which belonged to Daido Moriyama, and found that he had become a user of the GR series of cameras. I found mine used on a local classifieds site, and paid only 10,000 yen (about $100) for it. I took it out a couple of times, just playing around, but when I reviewed the images, I was pretty much blown away. These are great cameras, and you don't need the latest or greatest to get good images. At least my old GRIII never locks up.

@DaniloRuizPhoto 5 лет назад

Kai! That same thing happened to my GRii. I was able to fix it after some thorough research in countless threads. Take out the battery, switch the SD card, then replace the battery. Hold the play button on the back, instead of using the on button on top, to turn it on. Hope that works for you! Cheers!

@therealchickentender 5 лет назад

I'm in love with the thing. Second camera I've ever pre-ordered (first being the 2013 GR). With the firmware update to v1.10 it focuses in darkness as fast as my old GRDIII and GRDIV (insane considering the sensor size difference) and I get perfectly usable images at 1/15sec ISO6400 with a grain/noise structure that looks almost like film. I sold my GR and GRDIV to fund this little monster.

I love hiking through nature and wildlife & landscape photography. I'm using a secondhand Nikon S9900 with a 30x zoom. WiFi and GPS, plus a pop-up flash and swivel screen in a pocketable size is why I love it. I think the newer A1000 might be a good upgrade, but it lacks geotagging.

Great review. It's interesting to see your experience of the camera's lock-up. The same happens with my Olympus and I've seen similar complaints about other cameras too. Remove the battery and everything is fine. I wonder whether bare-metal firmware software developers do not know properly how to handle synchronous I/O.

@nightwatchpov3926 5 лет назад

There are a few cameras of this size that are game changers. GRII, GRIII, FujiX100, Lumix LX100 II, etc... Even the crop of mirrorless cameras in the last 3-4 years has allowed photographers to capture people in their element without alerting them to their presence.

I like the TG5 for my carry everywhere camera. The only downside is how useless it is in low light. Otherwise its feature rich and tough enough for daily carry. Though I still recommend getting the silicon case and putting in a nice cloth pouch to prevent scratching.

What a great camera. IQ, good autofocus, IS, and lots of functions. I'm glad you didn't say it had bad autofocus like some have said, because I feel, like you, that it's quite good. I only disagree with you on one point. The battery. I can shoot hundreds of photos without it being depleted, which my Fujifilm X-T30 cannot :)

@chrisogrady28 5 лет назад

I'm a big fan of fewer lens elements, would love to see more modern optics with fewer, more complex elements. Generally means a better T stop, and 'microcontrast' which is just less photons being refracted away from their path.

@senatorfrisbee 5 лет назад

Kai, my GR had the same problem - if you feel like taking it apart, it's not too bad to remove the lens and give it a jiggle, which seemed to fix mine. Of course, I also need an excuse to buy the GRiii...

@sadropol 5 лет назад

Yeah, I don't know if it's intentional or just an effect of cost savings but many models with similar extending lenses "unhinge" instead of stripping the gears or ruining the assembly all together. So disassemble, look for the issue and reassemble. Or sell it as-is for someone to fix it...

@soarfm 5 лет назад

I’ve taken my GR2 apart. I was having a problem when starting up, it would start up and then about half the time immediately retract the lens and shut down as if I had pressed the power button a second time. I took it apart thinking that maybe the lens was “binding” on extension. Didn’t really solve the problem but found workaround and resorted to starting camera by hitting playback button, then hitting focus button to extend lens. Works every time. But I still bought the GR3 😉. Autofocus is definitely better and I like the menus a bit better. The GR cameras are my cameras that can go anywhere. I can use it anywhere without drawing any more attention than someone taking a snap with a phone and that’s important. Someone elsewhere mentioned that their iPhone pics are just as good as the GR, if social media is your final output, sure I can see that logic. I’ve worked a lot of iPhone files for family(kids) and a well exposed iPhone pic in good light is remarkably good and better than no picture at all but no match for the GR3. The GR3 also stands up well to and fits in well with my other mirrorless gear.

@supermatty0h450 Год назад

Honestly, I've only just heard of the GR series of cameras, and as someone getting into street photography, this is really an intriguing camera. I love the image stabilization in it as I have a slight tremor in my right hand due to a stroke. Especially since a mirrorless Fujifilm, for example, costs roughly twice the price to get that same stabilization, and a viewfinder I cant use due to my hand. This was a super helpful video in figuring out my next camera purchase!
