Hi! If you buy the designated Godox flash - yes. For example, in Godox V1-P (P stands for Pentax) it will work in P-TTL just fine with GRIII. Because luckily starting from the GRIII they put the Pentax hot shoes on the GRs. Off-camera combined with the P-TTL Godox trigger you can even mix Godox speedlites made for other brands like I did: V1 made for Fuji but used in P-TTL with Ricoh, etc. Hope that helps!

Solid choice! With leaf shutter, it's going to be plenty powerful. Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching! Appreciate you stopping by!

Glad to help! Thank you for watching!

Crazy times, right? And not so long ago it was 899, was everywhere and was considered expensive haha.

Thanks! 2025 is my really optimistic bet 🤞

Thank you so much!

Thank you! There is probably more to it, but I've gotta keep my GAS in check at this point.

Thanks a lot!

Glad it was helpful! If I could, I would get both, haha. But in all seriousness, you can't go wrong with either of them. But if it's too hard to choose, and you have a way to try before buy, I would do that for sure. Thank you for the support!

Thank you! Glad it was useful!

Nah, my guy, there is nothing wrong with you GRIIIx

@@Alex_SMK are you sure? I thought the photos looked pretty bad. Can barely see anything

Thanks for stopping by! Which Leica/s are you using now?

@@Alex_SMK M10 w/Voigtlander glass and a Q

@@mwales2112 Nice combo! Enjoy!

Congrats! I hope so too! Yeah, B&W is great on GR! Thank you for watching!

Firstly, congrats on the GFX! Yeah, 20-35 can be too wide sometimes, but it all depends on the application of course. At least you have some choices, unlike with 23mm or Laowas. As for the tele, I've only tried 110 and 45-100, so can't tell too much about the 100-200 except that you can find them pretty darn cheap as of late. 45-100 is a workhorse made for pretty much anything you throw at it, especially in the controlled lighting scenarios. No need to constantly change lenses and the IS is really neat since they work together with IBIS. And of course the LM is a treat to use. Buying a lens for work and shooting in different genres, this lens would be on the top of my list, probably. But boy oh boy, it's a chunky one, haha. 110 is a portrait machine. If your main thing is portraits and fixed 85mm is where you like to be, it's a no-brainer. I know F2 is tempting, but the depth of field on it is not always practical for the optimal portraits. But when you need it - it's simply put - wonderful, if not the best. No IS - not a big deal, but shutter speed has to be… you know the drill. And it's not light or small either. Just some info for you to consider. At the end of the day, I can't choose for you. But I hope it helps somehow. Oh, and thank you a lot for watching!

Thank you! I believe that was the Nostalgic Neg (slightly tweaked in post). Congrats on your purchase, btw!

Дякую за чудовий коментар і перегляд! :)

Thank you. I, personally, think GR4 or whatever it's gonna be called won't come till 2025, now that Ricoh announced the HDF models. Which, yeah, is kind of old-ish by our conditioned beliefs that the new model should come every year or two. Of course, fingers crossed for the new one to arrive earlier, but hey, let them cook it right, you know, I'm in no rush. Seems like the Fuji - is a safer bet for you now. At least you don't have to worry that the new model is going to be released soon, and they are in high demand. Of course, if you can get one for a reasonable price.

Thank you so much for watching and taking your time to write this! I appreciate it a lot!

Будь ласка! Дякую за перегляд!

I think 6mm hole punch will probably work too, I didn't measure the one I used tbh. If you feel cute, you can even buy them star or heart shaped or else as well, haha! Thanks for stopping by!

Exactly! Thanks for watching and taking your time to write this! Cheers!

Thank you! 🤗

The comparison with the same shots starts at 6:03. Mind you, taking the same shot on the streets with two cameras at the same time is kind of challenging on its own to begin with. Thanks for watching

Being technical, let me put it this way: The X100V and now the VI have the edge over GRIII and GRIIIx at high ISO (I'm talking about everything that's higher than 3200 and in terms of noise only), hence the older sensor tech in the GRIII. I'd say it's like the X100F with the IBIS (if there was one at that time). But again, this is really rough and subjective comparison because the lens is stupid sharp on the GR, and no X-trans pattern adds to the mix. I personally like to work with DNGs more than with RAFs for now. If I ever come back to JPG only, I'll give it to Fuji for sure. All depends on how you shoot and what you need.

That's cool! Thank you for watching! Героям Слава!

Thank you!

Unfortunately for all of us, me included, this is just a desire for the fully weather sealed GR. If they ever come up with such GR I'd be genuinely surprised. My general advice would be, buy a camera if it offers what you need right now. Otherwise, it's a race that you can't keep up with without spending money all the time. At the same time, I understand your concern, but looking at the Ricoh's last release being GRIII diary edition, I would say you're safe for another half a year, maybe a year or so before they release anything else.

@@Alex_SMK Thanks for the info. I already have a full-frame Sony (A7 IV) with good glass that I use for most of my work. However, for street photography, carrying something like that all the time is not ideal. The form factor of the Ricoh GRIII would allow me to have a camera in my pocket at all times, ready to shoot. I think I'm going to buy one for that very purpose.

@bonbon_ann2701 no prob. It's one of the reasons I bought mine too. So far, so good, as long as you can find it for a reasonable price.

Noted! Thanks for watching and the feedback, appreciate it

It’s “Moody”

Thank you! I think it's still a great camera, highly underappreciated even by Fuji themselves. I had to sell mine to fund some other stuff at the time. But if they'd make a x80 (or whatever) I might even consider switching to it from the GR. Hope you'll enjoy it!

@@Alex_SMK cheers Alex. I ordered it when my GR1 suffered catastrophic failure 😞. That’s what puts me off getting another one. I do miss it though. An x80 would be awesome though. Keep up the good work brother 👍🏿

Yep, it worked out for me so far

@@Alex_SMK I just sold the X100V, too. In my case, that had more to do with it offering very little (for my particular style of photography!) over my X-T5 coupled with an xf 27 or XF 18. The Ricoh is kind of calling me, though. I just don't like the 1000€ price tag which kind of undermines the spirit of just throwing it into my pockets as an EDC.

Yeah, I can relate. As for the prices - true. They got crazier for these compacts over the past few years, that's for sure...

Glad it was helpful! Both of these cameras are great. I would suggest picking up the one that inspires you the most, can't go wrong this way. Thank you for watching!

Could be of course, because we're adding additional elements in front of the optical scheme of the X100V's lens. But generally speaking, the 28mm lens on GRIII is probably one of the sharpest lenses I've used on the compact cameras. Not like it makes any crazy difference in the daily use, though. Thanks for watching!

I have a similar question after watching the video and I think the answer is "yes"

I feel that! The reasoning is pretty much the same for me. So far on my camera the dpad didn't develop any issues, but the one I've got for testing from the local Ricoh office some years ago was down bad. Didn't stop me from switching, though. As for III or IIIx, only you can decide of course, if you win a lottery by any chance just get both haha.

That's great! Hope it will bring you even more great photos in the future! Enjoy!

@@Alex_SMK Thank you 🙂

Thanks! Yeah, you definitely can turn that off. But don't get your expectations too high, the lens is pretty dark on this one, but the form factor is one of my favorites!

@@Alex_SMK just got one off eBay for $40. Thanks

Have my fingers crossed for this year, but don't take my word for it

Good for you! Whatever floats your boat, as long as it inspires you to shoot more and create. Appreciate you stopping by!

I probably conveyed it somehow differently, giving out the wrong impression. It is not new, you're absolutely correct on this one. And I agree on the smartphone bit as well (for now at least)
