i got the gr ii a few months ago and i'm really liking it desu. i think the only thing you might miss coming from a phone is any form of zoom, but you get over that pretty quickly.

>>4367597
It' the only camera that actually fits in a pocket without having a literal phone sized sensor yes

Ricoh really needs to update the sensor. The current one has the same low light performance as micro four thirds. They also need to add some rudimentary dust sealing.

>>4367597
I'm enjoying mine, but 28mm is a learning curve. Worth the challenge, in my opinion.

Decent little camera, nice signature tones, best version of it, Overpriced as balls.

Fuji X100VI might be an alternative, but, you know, fuji tones. Which are fuji undesirable crushed blacks and Fuji odd contrast. But you might be into that.

>>4367597
it's a meme. I had mine for 2 days and sent it back. the image quality is a joke - even for aps-c

>>4367604
a $1000+ camera like this should really be held to some fucking standards
>this is a product from 2010, when will it be improved or halved in priced
>NOO DUH PIXEL PEEP! U POOR?

$1000 is ridiculous. Just buy a really good cell phone. Am I really expected to believe this can take better pics than a 1in Sensor Xiaomi or Xperia? Or even a Galaxy S22+ Ultra or iPhone 15 Pro Max?

You can get a Sony ZV1 for $400 if you want a dedicated camera, and I have a hard time believing the photos out of it will be dramatically worse.

>>4367602
Might be stupid, but I already zoom by walking forward (when I can) with my phone.
>>4367604
Is dust really so bad? Can it be cleaned?
>>4367605
Could you please elaborate why 28 is so bad?
>>4367607
I had a X100V for an hour and didn't like it simply because of the size. It's very big, I expected it to be smaller. Didn't even fit it my small backpack that I had with me that day.
>>4367609
Everyone is praising the sharpness of the lens. Maybe there's a diffrence between 28 and the zoomier one that they sell?

It will. It will dramatically outdo all of those unless you are viewing on such a tiny screen from so far away that you can't tell anything apart, not even AI and reality.

But it's still not a very good camera for $1000 fucking dollars.

>>4367621
It's a somewhat dangerous process to subject a $1000 camera to for a design flaw that was fixed on everyone elses products ages ago.
https://jamiecollinson.com/blog/disassembling-ricoh-gr-for-sensor-cleaning/

>>4367622
Its caused by pockets and actually going outside.

>>4367623
Would it outdo a Sony ZV1? You can pick one up used for $350-500 all day long and you get the advantages the GR3 would give you (telelens, tiny size) but a smaller sensor (1in vs APSC)

>>4367615
if you're already walking closer with a phone, you'll adjust easily. it usually catches the non-camera people off guard. so if you're already used to that i'd say it's all positives.

Just use a small case or a lense cap. That really is a lot of dust you collected there, but if taken a bit more care of the camera it shouldn't collect that much. Had a GRIII for about a year.
Interesting picture though.

Definitly. Lense is ridicoulos sharp, powers up quickly, nice menue and good functions. When it's a bit darker the AF tends to pump, so if you shoot a lot of people in lowlight you may want to reconsider. Otherwise go for it. It's a fun camera, though I missed a viewfinder when I had it. The chinese seem to came up with some cheap alternative. Oh and fuck the HDF version that's garbage nobody needs. What the fuck where they thinking?

If you shoot manual for anything but flash or extreme underexposure you're the one who hasn't actually learned photography. Av+Exp Comp is all you need. Control aperture and ISO, shutter speed can be seen and controlled indirectly.

The operator error was not lowering the ISO for paint cans that could be shot at 1/30.

it's okay, af is non-functional like all pentax products and they try to sell it with "snap focus" feature which is, let's be real, a cope gimmick.
>alternative
at that size, no apsc camera comes close
>is it better than a phone
for most snap shit no. Don't get me wrong, there are advantages to its larger sensor, just not enough advantage for most snapshit. But you still can feel like you're doing photography with an actual camera than being a tourist normalfag with a phone I suppose.

>>4367614
I don't want a cell phone.

>>4367597
no.

unless it has a sensor aps-c or bigger.

>>4367597
The discontinued Canon M series (without the viewfinder) is right up your alley. Dead mount, but way more useful and less dust prone to the Ricoh.

We're talking about something pocketable though. I would not recommend the M series to anyone looking for a full kit, even if it does an okay job being an ILC camera. Slap that 22mm on it and you're only marginally bigger. Of course it's still bigger since the Ricoh is a compact zoom, but it's still a valid alternative

>>4367597
Where can you even buy this camera? Two years ago they were $800-900 brand new on eBay. Now they're like $1500 used.

Yes it's bigger, but that's still pocketable. Doubly so if you're wiling to dismount the lens. Yes, those are comprimises; if someone wants literally the smallest camera with a decent sensor then sure go Ricoh, but I hear far too much shit about it to *not* offer alternatives.

Exactly why my first suggestion (>>4367878
) was the M series. The more I see and talk about it the more pissed off I am Canon killed the mount off.

>>4367597
buy a sony rx100 new for the price of a used Ricoh

They're cheaper and the autofocus is way better, plus the later models have a EVF and higher focal length so you can even use them for birding or landscapes

>B-but the higher focal length limits aperture

Just shoot a slower shutter speed

>>4367891
muh sides

>>4368010
It’s better than a Fuji, no xtranny worms

>>4367597
Sigma fp or Lumix S9, plus the 26mm Lumix lens, or the Sigma 45mm. There is a compact zoom coming soon, too.
Full frame, just a bit more expensive and larger, still very compact. The fp has a very good sensor, the S9 is at least a modern sensor.
GR is not pocketable unless you’re wearing cargo shorts/pants, which I don’t. Better to put them into a small daily sling bag.
Interchangeable lenses so when you don’t value compactness you can use actually good lenses. And they’re both L mount so you can use your lenses with a Leica SL series or Lumix S5II or such.

Hard to justify getting a Ricoh GRIII when I already have an fp, but if I had the GRIII I would still need a more full fledged camera.

But if you insist, it’s still better than shooting raw.

>>4368148
>no shutter
Yeah just forget all forms of photography except for building corners, sleeping cats, and landscapes

rolling shutter distortion under 1/200 is very noticeable if someone just moves a little too fast. it looks very uncanny. there's a reason e shutter readout has been the priority as of late.

>>4368186
>Yeah just forget all forms of photography except for building corners, sleeping cats, and landscapes
aren't they the key pocketable camera genres? pocketable cameras just enable snapshits and prevent you from putting any effort into photography

I got one last week and took it to the seaside. I love the portability but really miss having a viewfinder. The photos are good.
In my opinion, there is no alternative to this. X100 is not pocketable except for a big winter coat.

My rx100 has gotten really laggy and I can't find anyone else having this problem on the internet. It would take some time to process a photo after taking a shot and sometimes it'd just malfunction. I have about 40k actuations on it. Is this thing done for?

>>4371108
Factory reset it in settings and also reformat your sd card?

>>4371113
I think it kind of worked but it's still laggy, still takes a second or two to process an image.

I went out to buy a zv1 and after comparing photos with the rx100, it doesn't look that much better. The low light performance is better but there are cases where I like the photos from the rx100 more. This is disappointing.

I'm thinking of getting a GR 3 now but f2.8 seems way too slow and I do take a decent amount of shots inside. I'm not too familiar with apsc sensors, can you just up the iso a lot and it wouldn't be as grainy?

anyways this is a pointless endeavor. you're not going to get any image signicantly better for less than an ilc with a big lens. a compact is going to look equal to or worse than the phone shots of the 100 people next to you so just have one of them send their picture to you

I hate the ZV1-II image quality. Absolute dogshit.

This is false, I have seen good grainy concert shots taken with a fucking powershot s95

No they're not.

Wrong, I've comapred my phone shots with people using a Note 3 and theirs significantly better.
Thinking of going for the sony rx100 variety as the griii can't do high winds

subjective, the ceiling is quite low and the odds of dissatisfaction are higher than not. having a marginally clearer image (which will be vastly worse than whatever official coverage there is) is not going to improve your experience nor memory of the event. compact cameras are fun and i recommend them, but getting one to take telephoto pictures in the dark is foolish.

Oh no, I always arrive early to get a good spot, zooming in wont be necessary.
I have an old pentax, k5-ii, with two lenses.
I'm a very amature hobbyist, I would be going with the ricoh griiix but it's shit in high winds, and I like to hike up mountains, I would have gone with that otherwise as it has a large sensor, I can change shutter speed a bit and bump iso, That's all I really need, the ability to change shutter speed, bump iso, and shoot raw.
The reason Im not going mt3 is because I want something easy to carry otherwise I was looking at the omd em5-ii

Yeah, but that's a thick body. They are on the cameras that are marketed as portable

It's a Ricoh/Pentax.
Don't expect much in the way of improvements.
