Ricoh GRiiix - 10 Months In Use 

I have never heard anyone call the AF joystick a nipple before. That's a much better name for it. Great video!!

An APSC sensor and it fits in my shirt pocket. Ricoh is still the only manufacturer who has done that. I don't know about desert island, but if I were marooned in a city with only one camera, it would be my number one pick.

So glad to see this !!!! I really needed a TRUSTED video about this camera !!!

Very good commentary!! The lens is just so,so sharp! Thank you.

Love this video! You seem like a very fun person I would love to learn from on a photo walk :) keep up the cool videos! 🎉

Ah Anna, I ❤ your pronunciation of X. This brings back memories. Keep up the good work 👍

Very comprehensive! Thank you!

Heard a lot about this cam - quite a few pro photographers I know swear by it and highly recommend it as a subtle second cam. Thanks for the in depth look - very informative!

*"Embrace the noise...noise is life."* Well said! John Peel (famous DJ, you probably know of him) once said the same about vinyl records: *"Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, 'Listen, mate, life has surface noise."* Même chose non ? (◠‿◠)

Nice video! Thanks!😉

That was a really cool video presentation. I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much. 😊

This is a very enjoyable review. Thanks 👍🏿

nice review. i have and love the GRD3 from 2009, and i am considering the GR3x, but i might just wait for the GR4 in hopes of weather-proofing.

Great summary thanks. I had the 28mm but did not really connect. Now have the 111x and love it. Also have the Urban Edition which has a lovely finish - much nicer than the normal finish.

I liked your suggestion very much, I also want to buy this camera thanks

I love your humor brilliantly done, I own the gr3 X and definitely would recommend it to anyone , yes I agree the battery life is not that great and shooting in direct light takes a bit of getting use to. The quality is really good for a compact camera. Shooting on the street is perfect, people don’t want a big lens in their face and may take offense. Travel is awesome as well.

Thanks, i have some leicas, Q 2 ,M , but now new the Rico griii x hd 40 mm and i am witing for the 28 mm. Thanks for the Tip top Set the crop Point in the " Ring " , the Kamera ist at First complicated,but now i struggle Not so often 😂

I love the griiix . I have one for about a little over a year now. I also have a couple Fuji's X-E1 , X100 which are better built and i like the jpegs more, but with raw you can do anything. The advantage of the IBIS and the small size, I use the griiix more. There is a big difference with the ibis. I can take sharp shots indoors at way lower shutter speeds than i can with the Fuji's

been obsessing over the GR3 and came across this video! helloo 👋

I’m often in Australia in the glaring sunshine and the OVF is a great help. I really like my (28mm) GRIII and its predecessors. Good prez thanks.

Im new to photography and take product photos mainly, i love the review and have been looking for awhile now, however £1k is a little outside my budget, is there something you would recommend under £500?

Hey Anna! Quick question: Is the GRIIIx good for taking selfies with 1-2 persons in the frame or is the 40mm lens a problem in that case? Thanks for the amazing video - really enjoyed it.🌻

Curious how different it feels than taking a photo with a phone. If you’re just using an LCD to frame it, then wouldn’t the 24MP of the iPhone 15 feel similar?

does the camera have any problem with fast focus and shutter? does it have any lag with focus and shooting?

Good review. I'd recommend raising the audio gain on your future videos. The volume of this recording is low.

EMBRACE THE NOISE 😂😂😂😂

4:00 mns. About noise: Topaz Denoise Ai does a fantastic job against noise

how to use external flash in it?

Love the idea and size of this camera range for stealthy street photography but the well documented issues pertaining to dust ingress and build quality keep me from 'pulling the trigger'......

I like a lot about this camera, but no viewfinder is a total deal breaker. Even one of my old Olympus pens had an EVF that plugged into a port. I like to be as discreet as possible, and holding a camera out in front of you to compose is just horrible for me. I want to see darkness surrounding a rectangle of geometry and colours, and nothing else to distract. Hey ho. The search goes on.

No viewfinder. I’m trying to deal with this. I may buy a cheap plastic viewfinder to help frame my images. I don’t like using the LCD that the camera forces you to use. The price is expensive. It is cheaper than the Fuji X100V list price. It is also more available than the Fuji. That being said, I purchased my GRiiiX used on Craigslist. They don’t come up often. I was patient. When one was advertised at ~$650 US I jumped on it. I don’t know if I like this camera. Certainly the GRiii isn’t for me due to the 28mm field of view. Simply too wide for my taste. Like you Anna, I like to shoot between 35 & 50mm so 40mm is perfectly fine for me. The lack of an EVF, much less any viewfinder, may cause me to sell this camera. The telephoto lens is 1.5X. Your focal length is then 60mm. The camera then crops to 70 or 75mm. Almost the ‘perfect’ 85mm portrait length focal length. The alternative is zoom with your feet. I don’t know how much facial distortion there is with the 40mm focal length. I suspect not much. I don’t use video very much. I shoot 30” clips. There aren’t a lot of video options for this body. Whereas more is better, the video features on the GRiii are adequate for my use. Most GRiii users are photographers. Video on this body definitely is a second thought. I am undecided if I am keeping this camera. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
