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
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 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
Mine is coming today. I have a sony a7iii and feel like Its on my shelf too often. Want the Ricoh especially for that feeling of just alway having a camera to take with me when I leave the house. Excited to experience it.
It’s like rediscovering pocketable film point and shoot, but digital and with limited compromises. Haven’t messed with any of the newer GR’s, (maybe someday) personally I’ve really enjoyed the snapshot ability of my GRDigital iii. Ricoh gets it!
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 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.
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.
Hearing Ricoh GR and budget in the same sentence is crazy…

is the dusty sensor a real problem? People keep talking about dusts getting into the sensor. Is it real or overblown?
Love the honesty and rawness of this video. No fluff, just real. Got a sub!

I just ordered the GR3X, can't wait to use it. Like you, I'm going to be carrying it around everywhere documenting things.
I love the mindset behind this camera.
Mine is coming today. I have a sony a7iii and feel like Its on my shelf too often. Want the Ricoh especially for that feeling of just alway having a camera to take with me when I leave the house. Excited to experience it.
Awesome summary. I feel the same about mine!

Dope video! Been looking for a camera like this for a while...Seems like a solid choice! 👀
RICOH GANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Camera is dope
Just subscribed. It was amazing listening to you talk so passionately about photography. Thank you
Excellent reasoning. I want one.
Fantastic video content. I'll be keeping eyes on the camera and consider it.
I have gone back to my old Canon ixy cameras and they are a lot of fun.

Thanks for sharing! Is that Dean (AverageDad) @ 2:18?

Awesome! Thank you!
Dope little camera!

random question but where did you get that Uphill hat?

@@BigE thanks 👍
You're talking too loud!! Can't quite hear the "bckground" music
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.
Try a Olympus EM5 mark i, ii or ii, or EM10 any version as well, you will love them.
im sorry to say this but the picture you took with that gr 3 look similar to an iphone camera
I’m a star mom!
Hipster camera
Blessed to be able to live my life and have hipster cameras🫡
@@BigE hell yea brother
💪🏾 first
Like your Ricoh GR iii camera presentation, a great camera, however your F-bomb language needs some clean-up, dude! Otherwise, I liked the video.
Don't see anything special about these pictures. Can buy an old CCD for $50 and it does better.
So do it. Live your life, I’m going to live mine🫡
No disrespect…. ^this guy doesn’t get it
Yeah until you want to print a larger format image. Always 1 karen in the comments.
@@iaido01 LOL, print this images? You are a blind bat.
Dynamic range without digital feel like iphone is the main selling point imo
Bro- you might be the first person Ricoh sponsors to NOT recommend their camera. Get yourself a used CCD and move along already.
Not a sponsor, I’m good my man, enjoy🫡
Good video, but you need to sharpen yourself up especially, the language. You don't come over as a professional.
I’m not professional, it’s a RUclips video, the fuck🤣
lol so much bullshit unsolicited advice in your comment section
@@BigEyeah, you got that right. You’re not a professional. In any field, if this is the range of your vocabulary.
let me guess...you vote blue, need a safe place and confused about your gender identity😂
