I just wanted to drop you a note and say...I watched the entire video even though I'm not remotely interested in either camera. However, you did such a great job at plainly presenting the info, not talking over the entire video, and letting all those beautiful sample pics speak for themselves that I just had to finish it. THIS is how photography videos should be, you are killing it!

Best camera comparison video I have seen, and I have watched a lot in the last 8 years.
Awesome! Thank you! :)
2 cameras I can’t afford? I need to watch this comparison
:D
👌
Same here 😂
Get a x100t or x100s then. A bit of a downgrade, but more affordable and shoots as good almost as x100f
sandgaijin thanks for the recommendation but I already own a Nikon wich I’m pretty happy with so I couldn’t really justify spending money on a second camera. Nevertheless I think i wouldn’t sell it if I got it for free :)
I’ve got to say that piano shot is amazing
I thought that same thing......my fav!
One of the few youtuber who is actually good in photography. Great comparison and pictures!
Brother! I watch a lot of street photography videos and a lot of camera reviews and comparisons. This is by far the best video I have watched about cameras and street photography in the past 3 years. Thanks a lot!
Wow.... Your video is getting better and better! Very inspiring. Just seeing your photos with your great selection of music, feel very calm & comfortable...
Wonderful comparison and photos as well. Must have taken a lot of time to do this. Thanks.
Thank you! It definitely took some time... Happy to know it was worth it :)
GR3 is crazy sharp. Wasn't expecting that.
Honeslty I expect nothing less from that line. Their sensor/lens combo has always been primo.
GR cameras are known for their sharp lenses, among other things.
Have to turn sharpening off completely in Capture One for my GR II. Any sharpening whatsoever equals oversharpened. The thing is, as you say, crazy sharp.
RICOH has always been a great underdog brand, even during the film years
the amount of work you put into this video really shows. I love how you just present the features of the cameras and let that speak for itself. well done!
I was stunned by the slide show. Really. It could be a rough selection for a book. Not those conceptual/thematic books, but a book that overflows with love. Everyone complements you for your videos, but you really deserve applause for your photos as well. I had not realized how talented a photographer you are until I saw this slideshow. (And maybe because I hate Instagram and think everything looks terrible there if you don't have ADD.) Congrats, congrats, congrats.
It's such a pleasure to watch something made with both passion and attention to detail. This video might be too good for RUclips. Bravo.
Good pictures are good pictures カメラと関係ない Nice job as always. A POV shooting your neighbors please!
Haha good idea :D
Not only a Superb video, but also Superb photography!!
Two fantastic cameras, but I think the Ricoh could be less conspicuous and also easier to transport. The 28mm lens is a little on the wide side for me, but the size of the camera would let me get in closer before being noticed!
Thanks a lot Samuel, this video has been well worth the wait.. Wie immer! 😉👍
Danke or Thank you Tony! :D Yes, they are both fantastic and fun cameras!
“Don’t shoot any your neighbors” 😂😂 thank you Samuel!! Love you 😊😊 good job comparing these two. I own an x100T and I love it!
Great video! Loved how your review wasn’t too focused on technical numbers and gave a better idea of the actual experience using the cameras!
I shoot with a FujiXpro2 but the colours on the Ricoh are just amazing!!!
X100F user here. Not gonna lie, that positive film simulation on the GRIII is something else. Very nice. Also thank you for the wonderful comparison.
So true.
is there a LR vsco preset similar to the positive film simulation?
@@chompychomps92 I am not sure about similarity, but the VSCO film presets work very well on GR's DNG files! The end result is always stunning.
This is easily the best GR III / x100f comparison video on RUclips. Thanks man.
Very well done. The edge the GR III has is stealth which to me is essential for street/candid photography. The GR III combines the invisibility of the smartphone with the horsepower of a serious camera. I am saying this based on what I've seen from the III on RUclips; I have had a GR II for several years, and it is go-to camera for "the street."
I'm a die-hard Pentax/Ricoh guy but I didn't care for one second what camera you were using, these images are amazing, very, very well done!
I was waiting for this vid and told myself: i will decide on which one is the best! ......... but FAIIIIIL!!!! i want them both now!!!!!! they both are super awesome cameras!
Wow this is the best review I have ever watched...Brilliant images and in-depth comparisons. I felt like I finished a 22 mins video in a blink of an eye. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Im a very proud user of a x70 but this gr3 it looks so good and so small great camera comparison
Your style really lives through the Ricoh. The photos you make with the 28mm have so much more character. That tiny dancers one will stick w/ me for awhile..
And honestly your gallery choice is pretty dope like large prints hung on the wall even in video. Lovely touch.
Great video Samuel, it’s one of the best comparisons I’ve seen in a while: you show/don’t tell. Instead of someone talking for 20 minutes about his subjective appreciation of both cameras, you let us do our own with your tests. 👏🏻 Bravo.
Thank you! Appreciate your comment. I thought this way of presenting the results is probably more enjoyable for the viewer than talking too much :)
Yes it is. It becomes as close as doing the test oneself. I’m feeling really compelled to try that gr3. Never shot with one, and that Monotone it’s beautiful.
Super video - I love that you make the comparisons in the images rather than just talk, talk, talk.
Best and most useful camera comparison I've ever seen. Top notch video quality, subscribed.
Hands down the best camera comparison I've seen. Also you have great taste in music that spans wide range in genres!
Appreciate that! Music always comes first, then the edit :)
I really enjoy your videos and pictures. I think the GR is just an awesome pocket camera. The quality you get in this size is amazing. Weiter so !!!
I have Ricoh but man the Classic Chrome preset is gorgeous
This picture of ballet dancers at 15:52 is worth a big print, well done!
Never watched a camera comparison video that legit inspires me to go out and take photos! Nice work, man.
Thanks Samuel, a great job comparing two great cameras! I am very happy with my X100f, but I must admit the GRIII looks good. But as there isn't a great difference in IQ I'm even happier to stay with the100f.
This channel is great - it's one of the very few where I will watch the video from beginning to end without feeling like opening a new tab out of boredom. You deserve way more subscribers. Keep putting out material and they will come!!
Great job. The GR's monotone profile has fantastic tonality.
Lovely work (as always). Your photos are consistently stunning! I see why you own them both, as each is unique and they deliver some of the best OOC looks available. However, since I can't afford to follow your lead, I'm currently leaning towards the X100F. I just find the Acros simulation so compelling. It always stops me in my tracks whenever I come across great shots (both here and elsewhere) taken with it. Right now, I'm holding out to see if the price on the F drops a bit since the arrival of its successor, the X100V. Spring is around the corner, though, so my trigger finger grows more itchy with each passing day! Finally, would you consider updating this video with a X100V vs GR III comparison? I would certainly find that very useful. Thanks for all the amazing videos. Your channel is always informative and inspirational. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada!
Ricoh colors (and b&w tones) are seriously underrated.
Fantastic job! You're really good at making these videos and I look forward to your uploads.
Dear Samuel, Thank you for the very informative and interesting review of the cameras. I appreciated your down to earth practical approach to the review. I especially liked the no voice over on the main section, it enabled me to focus on what I was watching, the handy written prompts helped me understand what features you where comparing. First class job, well done.
I have the older GR Digital III which has the amazing f1.9 (28mm for 35mm) lens. Like you, I keep the Ricoh in my pocket at all times. Seriously considering the X100f to compliment the Ricoh. Happy Shooting, David
Hi David, thank you for your nice words! Happy to hear that you enjoyed the comparison. The X100F complements the GRIII very well. Although I feel like 28mm & 35mm are sometimes too similar.
wouldn't mind a quick compare with Fuji XF10... I know GRIII fans might say GRIII is in performance class with X100F... but, X100F is not a pocket-able point and shoot...
My 2 cents: I own the x100F and also have had the XF10 for a couple of months. I wanted something pocketable, but the price of the Ricoh was a bit much for what would be my secondary camera, so I got the XF10. The only downside for me is the autofocus. It's not nearly as bad as some make it out to be, but it's not great. If you've ever used the original x100, it's in that general realm. I still have my old x100 on the shelf and I dusted it off to compare. The XF10 easily beats it in speed, but like the x100, it occasionally gets lost in low-light situations. I've never used an X100S, but i'd imagine the XF10 is similar to that in terms of autofocus speed. IMO if you want a reasonably priced pocket camera, and aren't super concerned about ultra-fast focusing, it's great.
I think XF10 actually has a slightly better low light performance and image quality, better battery, has a built-in flash. But that slow autofocus in XF10 is no joke. It is absolutely horrendous, and it's less pocketable compared to GR
@@benficaM8888 Gr 2 and 3 is also never compact. Only a smartphone like the iphone se
You put a lot into this so thank you! I still think that the WCL interferes somehow with the autofocus and face detection but there's no question in my mind that you went for a fair and honest comparison which I appreciate.
The thing about the X100 series is that they're cameras made for photographers. Everything is at the right place and they're inspiring and (at least to people like us) they feel like the essence of photography both technically and emotionally.
Ricoh on the other hand obviously suits younger photographers who grew up with smartphones and don't really care about what we feel is lacking here and there and they're right because whatever works is perfectly fine with me.
At the end of the day nobody owns the truth it's all about personal preference and both cameras produce spectacular outcomes in a different way.
Thanks again Samuel I appreciate what you and your friends do it's very refreshing and positive and precious.
Thanks for this very thoughtout comment! This comparison is just for fun really. I would never think of these cameras as equal tools. Both are amazing image maker but feel very different in the hand. I love the X100F and it gets me emotional shooting with it. And I have big history with the GR so I feel nostalgic using it. So hard to say which one I like more. Thank god I don't have to! :)
Came for the comparison, stayed for the music, and photos of course 🙂
Already watched this on Patreon but it is a banger video so I am just going to watch it again 🙌
Hehe. Thanks Adam!
Samuel L. Streetlife I left a q&a question in your dm’s on Patreon ✌️
Ich ziehe meinen Hut! Wirklich sehr gutes Review, schön strukturiert und bis ins Detail. Und auch die Beispielbilder in Kombination mit der Musik machen einfach Spaß! :)
Looks like the RICOH is the winner here. Especially in terms of optical image quality, it is a beast over Fuji!
Yes! Thanks for this review Samuel... been anticipating it. I have the x100f but your other videos have me peaked on the GR III. Great stuff overall 👍🙏🏻✌️
15:46 fav shot. Wow bro, I've not watched your videos for like a year and the standard is seriously impressive now! YOU SHOULD BE AT 100K SUBS EASY!! Keep it up my man.
Thanks. Nice Video. 35mm is my favorite focal length and having the converter option makes the 100f my choice. In terms of compactness the GR has an edge. For that matter i carry the 100f with a Sony RX 100 iii.
Incredibly enjoyable. I usually skip around on these but this was informative and so beautifully put together it kept my attention from beginning to end. Thank you for this.
This is the kind of reviews i like. Instead of looking at charts
GR3 looks a bit sharper (a lot in macro), but the real competitor is X70 if the Fuji updates it with a new sensor and automatic lens cover.
Wasn’t the XF10 considered the successor? I mean same outcome (APSC compact) but very different ways to get there. I considered both but unfortunately for my wallet the GRIII caveats I can accept.
@@WatchWithYourEyes Might be, but it doesn't have a flippy screen, which is for me the main advantage of X70 over GR.
And yeah, they are a bit expansive, but what isn't these days...
xf10 succeeded it an many people (like me) don't like flip screens; the less things move the better especially for small cameras
Really enjoyed the photo comparison segments especially on half speed! :)... Very comprehensive... kudos!
X100F user here but the GRIII image quality looks much better here.
nameischarles it looks exactly the same lol
I'm officially in love with RICOH GR III. I've been using Fujifilm for a long time but this time i'd go for Ricoh ! Lovely camera !
It is the ThinkPad of cameras. Which makes sense because the design ethos of both harken back to the nineties. The UI is one of the best around.
Just found your channel and I have to say this may be the best review I've ever watched...on anything. Your photography is outstanding and this video was informative without being boring. Excellent work.
The Ricoh in your socks is ACE!😂
Killed it as usual my friend! Thank you! 🙏🏽
nothing beats the Classis Chrome, its just perfect (to me) no need to edit
Great video!
But after update GRIII to 1.10 firmware, do you think a focus in dark is better than X100?
Excellent format for a review. I love that you showed so many of your awesome shots! Thanks!
Samuel, Thank you very much for providing feedback with your experiences with both cameras. Your feedback came across as being very unbiased. I've been shooting street for about two years now and finally reached the point where a Canon DSLR is prohibiting me from getting the shots I want because it is just too large. I have had enough of people staring at me or waving me off. I think I am leaning towards purchasing the GR3. The positives for me are: No need for a wide angle lens unless I want to go wider I can get the wide angle lens (available at a small cost), less conspicuous, the touch screen and cost. You note in your review the X100F has a slightly better AF. This comment somewhat surprised me as I heard other reviews claiming the AF on the X100F to be somewhat slow. Being I shoot mainly in the day, I do not see the slightly slower AF on the GR3 to be a deterrent. The negatives for me are: I heard the X100f will allow you to use your camera as a viewfinder, the GR3 is not as stylish, I have bigger hands and need to test to see if the GR3 may be too small, battery life and it looked as the screen goes black while shooting in burst. None of these negatives are game changers to me. Of course I will need to put the GR3 in the hands to test the feel and the AF. The DSLRs will be available for less in your face type shots. Lastly, the entire AF section was hilarious. Thanks for the laugh and sincere thank yous for taking the time to create this video.
Oh! I have been waiting for this video. Such a great delivery as usual.
GR3 is actually above the expectation! Really want to have one now 💵💵💵
I am a huge Pentax fan, love their colour science. Also I own a Fuji x100t.... but forget all of that, some of your photos were absolutely sublime
Wow ur progression is incredible. You’ve made some truly great photos man.
Thanks Matt! Most of the GR photos were also really old (2013-2019)
both of these two camera i have used，i sold my x100f and bought the gr3，iwanna say x100f have great color and gr3 have really sharp image i really like gr3
Great to hear you enjoy your GR3!
Wow that griii positive film is something else, love that vintage Polaroid feel.
The images with those music makes me relax.
I soon realized why this review is so good, the guy is german.
German youtubers make american youtube millionaires look like kindergarten kids who found their daddy's old vhs camera and started recording by mistake.
This was a great comparison. Great production. Thank you!
Yo your fashion sense in this video had me a little jelly. That trench jacket looks dope. Also, lmao, i had the video on the slowest speed so i could compare the film simulations, and i was going through the comments and kept seeing "most epic soundtrack for a camera video!" And "love the music" i forgot i had it on slow, so all i kept thinking was "a little depressing if you ask me" xD
Great comparison. I thought there was quite a noticeable difference in image quality, although they were pretty close. The GRIII seemed sharper, and on a couple of shots I thought the X100F ones looked a little bit soft, even. I noticed a little CA in the one of the X100F shots too, but it wouldn't put me off. If I was buying, I'd choose the Ricoh, despite the poorer lowlight AF performance. I'd probably end up using snap focus a lot of the time anyway.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Although I'm strictly not a street photographer per se, but I was always tempted to try my luck with it.
I've been meaning to buy a 35mm lens to pair it with my Canon 5DMK4, but it seems like I might go with a Ricoh GRII or GRIII in the end. Thank you for nudging me towards it.
Love your work, love your videos. You've earned a new supporter on Patreon.
Keep it up!
I have to give credit to Ricoh, as it produces fantastic pictures with excellent quality. Although the X100F wins in terms of aesthetic appearance, I believe that Ricoh is a big winner when it comes to picture quality and value for money.
I shoot with a fuji xt2 and really am intrigued by the small size and great image quality of the Ricoh. Looks like a great everyday carry camera that you do not need some kind of carry bag to bring with you. Thanks for such a detailed review.
Thanks! The GR is very good complementary camera for any bigger camera.
Most incredibly helpful camera comparison/review I've ever seen. Thanks!
Ha ha! Love your gr auto focus noises! Really useful video as I'm in a dilemma of keeping my x100f or selling it for the gr iii. Unfortunately I cannot keep both.
X100F is camera for another cases. GRlll was made to be with you everywhere. GRlll is not so comfortable in shooting process as X100F, but can be every time with you. These devices for different tasks. What is why GRIII should be compared with Fuji XF10 but not with X100F.
This channel is maybe the best for street photography I've ever seen. What film emulation/settings on the fuji would you say gets closest to the positive on the ricoh?
dude that was such a pleasure to watch
Dynamic range and sharpness of the GRIII blew me away. Especially with that close up of that lens cup. Now I'm curious how would X-T30/X-T3 do in that department, since they use a newer sensor. Great comparison!
Would love to know that too!
your last point is HUGE - enjoyment. People tend to overlook that and only see specs. If you hate your camera, you won't take it around with you. This is why I always talk hobbyists out of entry level DSLRs. get something small and fun instead.
Post that in some camera forum and get wrecked :D If it's not fun whats the point right?
@@SamuelStreetlife this is the reason: ruclips.net/video/DjNPGX5HV5Y/видео.html
Great video man. Think i will go for the compact GRlll! And your photography is awesome!
Really liked this video. Especially liked your friend dancing about. Very entertaining. The pictures you showed were stunning. Cheers
I’m glad I bumped into this video, undoubtedly the best real world comparison of the two here in RUclips. Would be great if you could manage to do a similar one with the X100V...
Excellent comparison, Samuel. Enjoyable and really well crafted visually.
I think the cat at the end is the best.
The GRIII feels more like a sketchbook that you can keep with you at all times, love mine to death
What a wonderful video you’ve made. thank you for taking the time... I’d have to agree that this is the best camera comparison I’ve seen.
I am happy to hear that. Thank you!
Positive film simulation is wicked. Gorgeous shots Samuel!
Great comparison. I own the x-pro3 with 23f2 and 56mm 1.2 for portrait and the ricoh gr iii. Love this combo
Camera comparisons should be done this way
Appreciate that!!
What an amazing video! It highlights one of the most important things in photography, doesn't matter which camera you have, you have to know how to use it! Amazing photos!
True!! And thanks!
Almost feel like giving up photography, your pictures are so good.
What a wonderful comparison video! Well done!! Like the picture from both cameras, but the small form factor of the GR III makes it a winner for me. Will buy one today.
Awesome pictures man! :) Great comparison, thanks for sharing!
amazing video man. great content, music and direction. keep up the good work!
This has been an favorite video from you so far! Keep it up 👌🏽👌🏽
