You have to understand many Gen-z grew up with parents making 6-7 figures a year. To them $1-2k is nothing😂 I grew up poor so budget camera to me is $30-100. It's all perspective I guess
I have to say I think it’s weird how popular the film recipe aspect of these cameras blew up. I’ve been using gr’s for ages, and people didn’t really ever talk about the filters. It was basically just “the black and white filters are nice” haha
Great vid, I hated having choices so I sold all my Canon and Sony gear now have the GR3x as my only camera and love the challenge of the fix focal length, the Jpegs are awesome. People will always talk about the negatives of owning a Ricoh but hey, I've got only positives to say.
I’m fortunate enough to have the GRiiix and Q2 - I use the Q2 way more often because it has an EVF. The screen on the Ricoh is unusable in bright sunlight which isn’t “fun”. I noticed most of your images were at night which is when the Ricoh really comes alive.
I had the GR3x and sold it. Battery life is crazy!! When you go out to shoot, you are never quiet, you always think about it is not possible. If Ricoh release a new GR4, and if it has: 1/ a good life battery 2/ a tiltable screen 3/ a viewfinder, I will buy it without any doubt.
I have gone back to my old Canon ixy cameras and they are a lot of fun. Sure the sharpness, dynamic range, blah blah blah is not there, but once in a while you capture the moment in a way that a high-end camera would not. Embrace the noise, the flaws and the blurriness.. its about the feels.
Cool camera but way too overpriced. I get that the magic of the camera is that it is pocketable and light but it's just too expensive for its performance level. If you're going to buy a $900 camera you could get the Fuji XT30II and that would just blow this out of the water in terms of performance.
You answered the exact reason in the comments as to why I don't want the Fuji XT30II. I am not going for performance. For someone like myself where I am in life the cost of this to get what I PERSONALLY want is just fine. But I appreciate your input.
