Very good video. I found it a little annoying that he kept saying that 40mm was more "telephoto". It's actually less wide and close to normal which he mentioned.
A very good, comprehensive video - nice to see the comparison shots. I think you missed a couple of important aspects, both cameras have inbuilt memory, so you can still grab a few shots if you forget to replace the SD card and the new “40mm” camera has significantly reduced depth of field (at the same aperture and focusing distance) compared to the “28mm”, so not so good for “Street” shooting, which is what the GR range is all about.
That's it. The IIIx has markedly less depth of field compared to the III because of its longer focal length. That makes it less useful for spontaneous street shooting. Also, you can crop in, but you can't "crop out."
Fair enough, but I use my GRii for family shots. I think Ricoh found lots of new buyers with the III series, maybe the faster focus and image stabilization did it, or maybe the market is condensing and maturing to be more prime and crop-compose centric, but they say they sold many, many more than the gr and grii, and will be able to develop the series further. I don't see that there's necessarily evidence that this increased revenue is because of an increase in street shooters, so much as it is meeting the general need for a pocket camera. I love my GRii. With pinpoint focus it is nearly always reliable, if a little slow. But the flash and leaf shutter are perfect for adding fill, even in v low light with say-1 or -2 or 1/64 flash setting. My point is that some people will be delighted with the dof options. The iii x will be an awesome kids/family portrait camera imo, esp for people unfamiliar with how to use flash. The iphone proves people are willing to pay a lot for a pocket camera that works well. For photographers who know what they're doing the GR series with its aps-c sensors and f2.8 lenses, and perfect handling and customization, is the perfect alternative to buying the 'best' camera phone.
Indeed. This sensor is at least 10x bigger then the iphone sensor. You get wayyyy more details, more dynamic range, better colours, real depth of field, etc... The pictures look real and natural
@@Chiefhosa If you know anything about language, you know that is my point, park. With 4k, they can sell more. Fujifilm xf10 does shoot 4k15p and even though Gr3 only shoot fhd, the color on the video is great. You see some picture here, park?
I want a weather sealed gr

As always, excellent review 😊
When do you think this will ever go in stock at on-line stores? I have preordered almost 2 weeks ago.
Update: i received mine from BH 2 weeks after I posted above.
So would you stick with the III for street photography and architecture?
Yes, if you are primarily shooting street and architecture, the wider angle of the III will be more suitable.

@@jamescooke5063 exactly I love the reduced depth of field, and for streets at f8 there's no issue
Have the GR3 already, why can’t they make the GR3x at 50mm I would have get one without a doubt!
im new to photography. should i get gr3x or gr3?
With the new iPhone 14 is this camera still relevant?
Indeed. This sensor is at least 10x bigger then the iphone sensor. You get wayyyy more details, more dynamic range, better colours, real depth of field, etc... The pictures look real and natural
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If you cut your hair you will look fantastic! A real handsome man!
Wtf dude!!! Let the man live his life
Nah
Still no 4k. I get the concept but come on.
If you know anything about this camera, you know people don’t buy these to shoot video

Either that or remove it completely. It's honestly pretty useless as a video camera.
@@gmuk101 Okay, Lee
@@gmuk101this is an hilariously over aggressive reply lol. Also, in response to your OP, you absolutely do not get the concept. Keep fightin’ Muk!
