Do you think of Ricoh as a printer company or a camera company?

A printer company, look from where its revenue comes from.
@Beakphoto3 ай бұрын
Cameras, but that's because I worked in a camera store in the 80s that sold Ricoh cameras. Xerox was the "Kleenex" of copier companies at the time in North America. So do folks think of Konica Minolta as a copier company, a... well... two Camera companies (plus film for Konica), or a leading manufacturer of planetariums? Wait, what?!?

10/10 camera nerd content. Ricoh GRiiix Urban Edition has been the best camera I’ve ever carried because I carry it everywhere! It’s also properly priced and stocked. It’s such an amazing time to be a fan of this camera system because it’s lesser known and lesser wanted than the Fuji x100v/vi which are pricy and sold out constantly. Please spread the good word, but only to the best people! Let’s keep Ricoh community strong and niche!
@mattlauАй бұрын
So obvious you are passionate about photography which makes this video so fun to watch. The HDF is actually better than having a regular GR III with a separate diffusion filter because you avoid the reflection from certain angles since the HDF is behind the lens, not in front. I think it's a very cool update!

I love these Full Frame videos! So well researched and edited! I've had my Ricoh GRIIIx for about 2 years now, and it's pretty much replaced my old DSLR. I'm sad we STILL don't have a four, but that being said, I'm not sure what else I would want, other than an improved battery and better backscreen. What I like best about it, is it's compact, "stelth" look, that makes you invisible, versus getting something like the fujifilm x100 cameras

With this review you speak from my heart. That's exactly how I think when Ricoh remarkets the same camera every year. This can work well for a while but eventually it gets boring. In any case, I'll wait for the mark 4, at least a new, revised sensor and the option of an electronic shutter would be enough and possibly a newer processor. Nothing more is needed. I left you a subscription and a like❤
@impulsesystems3 ай бұрын
Old enough to remember the Olympus Trip, a 35mm film camera in this 'consumer' category. Ricoh had a similar model and it was perfect for non-nerds. Almost 50 years ago. Like many Japanese companies, Ricoh has a huge product catalog. Leica meanwhile... Oh and the ND filter is useful for flash sync at shutter speeds lower than 1/250s in bright daylight. These glow/diffusion filters are like an Instagram trick. polar Pro makes them. Philip Bloom sells them!

I owned a Ricoh GR3X but sold it when I bought my X-T5 (I have a Fujifilm X100v) and I thought that version was expensive… Ricoh needs to concentrate on the next iteration of the GR range, the GR4 and not doing the lazy thing they are doing now such as this camera variant. A GR4 which is weather sealed, that has a much much faster autofocus and more accurate too, and make it start up quicker too. 🏴

Great presentation. Thanks. I love my GRIII but I’m getting a bit jaded by all these different versions. The 40mm version is valid because its a different lens but I wonder why they couldn’t include the HD and ND filters in one camera? Aren’t they just digital simulations of optical filters? And so take up no extra space?
@GOOBENsticksАй бұрын
They are both physical filters. But try not to be jaded, keep loving your GRIII and know that others are loving the other versions :). The GRIV or the next big leap will come one day! Till then, whatever version we have all work great.

I have a GRiii and it's falling apart - I've lost the ring from the front, have broken the front bit that pushes out when you turn it on. It's scratched, there's dust on the sensor and, well, it works but only just. I also tried the GRiii x, but sent it back after a few days -- and have questioned that decision ever since. This HDF thing doesn't appeal to me at all - it just feels too gimmicky, and I want a proper update, not another copy. I guess I'll just wait and see if I have any money when (and if) they release a GRiv.
