@@Robearian thank you! Yes, I don't think I'll ever let go of the GR IIIx, unless they release a new version!

@@thisisawar9 big love

Cheers 🙏🏻

I can reason with your flinching....RIP to my X-Pro 3, which was repaired for £250 by a sheepish Fujifilm team and then sold on eBay!

@@po.ntandshoot I bought mine (used) for a good price from Park Cameras and I later learned of the ‘ribbon’ issue. Fortunately I mostly shoot from the hip (or Sternum to be precise) and (as I need reading glasses) it suits me to use the viewfinder to change settings or review! 🤷

Hey, for the majority of my POV videos I'm using a GoPro Hero 11 with either the chest mount or backpack clip. I recently also bought some housing for the DJI pocket 3, so that I can use this hands free on the same mounts.

I've got a lot of love for Kanazawa as well 🗾

She's got two wrapped around her neck, I wonder how many more she has at home.

Yeah, I'd agree. The Ricoh does its own thing, at speed.

My feelings aren't so similar, as I see them more and more as distinct cameras, which is how I've justified keeping both! In terms of output, and preferred images, I would side with the Ricoh GR IIIx so far. The Fuji high resolution isn't hitting the spot for me, but it gets the job done reliably (I trust it for more dedicated outings and paid work etc.). Day to day, I'm on the Ricoh train.

Oh, what a city. Regrets that I only spent 2 nights there 😢

This is a video that I've been planning to make for some time. Thanks for the reminder. In short, I use a combination of the GoPro Hero 11 and the DJI Osmo Pocket with the chest mount and the backpack clip (depending on the situation). For informal commutes and spontaneous street photography, I'm clipping the GoPro to my backpack strap when I need it. For more focused sessions and when I need sound and / or in low light, I use the DJI Osmo Pocket and the chest mount.

@@po.ntandshoot great thanks , I have all for this . I gonna give it a try

Thanks Chris, I do love an early start - something about the mood in combination with the type of light. It's funny you should mention Shinjuku station, as Tokyo is my next video, but I literally had no keepers from my walk around that station!

@@po.ntandshoot - well poo! I guess it means another trip out. ;)

Thanks, I've been meaning to add more live commentary into my videos, as adding it in post is just an uncomfortable and inconvenient experience! Will definitely start planning it in more.

Provided the build holds up! (no issues in my first year)

The 3x is an amazing little camera. I've been using it for everything for the last year and I love how the pictures come out. It does have its limitations, but that's a given with such a small camera.

It's capable, but I definitely prefer to use it for subject-driven photography. Most focal lengths can work for landscape photography, however, but it's not a genre that gets me up in the morning!

It's probably one of the noisiest point and shoot film cameras I've used now you mention it, but you don't really notice it in a city like London. I assume you are talking about volume and not grain?

@@po.ntandshoot volume yes! Can it be used for street photography tho? I just read that its not so much about the shutter sound that draws attention but pointing a camera at sb, so idk😂

Thanks. Yes, it definitely holds its own.

Yeah, it's only a matter of time before I dabble with a Leica!

Yeah, other worldly.

I expected the GR IIIx to become obsolete after buying the X100vi, but the longer I own the Ricoh, the more attached I become. It has a very different use case as a pocketable point and shoot. Don't get me wrong, the Fuji can sit comfortably in a jacket pocket, but it's a camera I choose when I've planned a trip or an event. I've even done some paid work with it already. So, yes, keeping both (for now) !

@@po.ntandshootis the Ricoh good enough to take on a trip as your only camera or is the Fujifilm really better for that? Why do you prefer the Ricoh image quality over the Fujifilm? Shouldn't the Fujifilm be better because it has a much newer sensor and excellent lens? I'm wondering whether to order X100VI or wait for the GRIV...

When translated in '35mm' terms, the GR III has a focal length of 28mm, while the GR IIIx has a focal length of 40mm. So, the GR IIIx is more 'zoomed' in, making it the preferred choice for photographing subjects. The GR III therefore has the wider lens and is more suited to architecture and more traditional street photography. Otherwise, the only other difference know of is that the GR IIIx is slightly thicker - hope I explained that clearly enough!

@@po.ntandshoot thank you!

@@po.ntandshoot I recently bought the Ricoh and it seems to only turn on when I have it plugged on my apple USBC cable. Is this normal? Am I supposed to purchase another battery charger separately?

You'll have no regrets, I'm sure of it 📸

Cheers - the umbrella shots were my favourite from that day of shooting! A remarkable number of people employed to tend the garden.

This weekend? Lucky you! I've yet to make a video about camera settings, so it's a bit out of my POV comfort zone, but I'm considering it. I switch between 2 custom settings, saved on the top dial: The first one (for 90% of my shots) is a single point focus with continuous wide tracking (ISO and Shutter speed set to Auto with a minimum base), so all I'm changing while shooting is the aperture wheel and exposure compensation toggle. The second is snap focus mode (for rapid fire street photography) set to a distance of approx. 2m. Like the first custom setting, I usually just change the aperture and exposure compensation if required. The above is probably unclear, apologies. Maybe I should make a video.

@po.ntandshoot thank you so much!

Ricoh all the way!

For both? Fujifilm definitely!

Ha, G.A.S is a real thing as you've explained in your shorts. Subbed as well.

@@po.ntandshoot woah thanks man! Glad you enjoyed my little gag

🙏🏻

My first super thanks 🙏🏻

Thanks - the Monday Blues hit hard.

Cheers! Yeah, it would have held its own in the evening I think, but I would have slowed the shutter all the way down.

Sure - that was starting from the area around Heian Shrine and then walking east to Nanzen-ji gate / temple. I highly recommend the latter as there are aqueducts and disused railway lines in this area as well, which I didn't know were there until I rocked up.

@@po.ntandshoot many thanks to you , I planned to go around october , your video is so inspire me👍👍

@@peerayossucontarug4422 nice, October must be a great time of the year to go. I miss it already!

Just the two around the neck - I'd like to know how many more she has at home...

Her bag different 😅

@@Osa713 what's that bag?

she was cool though

Sugoi!

I did not know this; that's quite a big deal for some people.

you don't need Lightroom as there are free editing apps as well as excellent fixed price programs that make more sense than Lightroom

'Weird place on it' accurately describes how I feel. Given I swapped the X-Pro 3 + 23mm f/2 out for the X100VI, I find the size very small / good. It's the image quality that I'm not sold on entirely, and the fact that the GR IIIx has spoilt me as you mentioned.

⁠​⁠@@po.ntandshootTotally. I honestly would have preferred the X-Pro2/3 if it weren’t for the insane used prices + the screen issues on the 3. I’m on the fence with the quality as well, I’ve been going out with both and find that I like the GR’s lens more and the Fuji’s film sim options more. Torn!

@@po.ntandshoot Strangely enough I bought the GR IIIx to compare to my VI and I'm not seeing this difference in sharpness everyone is going on about. Maybe from minimum focus to around 50cm-1m distance maybe the Ricoh is slightly sharper if the Fuji is kept at F2, but beyond that the Fuji seems to have more detail. Also the Ricoh images seem to be quite a bit more noisy at minimum ISO. I am immensely impressed by the size of the Ricoh but after hearing so much about its sharpness I'm really not seeing it.

@@GhosT396 I'd agree that the difference in sharpness is minimal and and doesn't match the online commentary. It's the image quality that I do prefer on the Ricoh, however; the micro contrast and how it deals with shadows/highlights. The difference in noise is pretty significant, I agree. I fell in love with it after about 6 months I'd say, accepting all of its quirks.

@@po.ntandshoot Interesting, maybe I need more time to appreciate it. What do you think of the SOOC colors? I really don't want to have to edit my photos and I'm finding it hard to get good colors from the Ricoh SOOC.

Public spaces are fine. Sometimes I ask, but usually I don't.

I can't argue with that; it was quite the rush and I only really like a couple of the shots.

Yes, I understand. Technically, instructive and on point. That totally was worth it. So, thank you!

Cheers. Great to hear you were in Tokyo - it's such a great city for street photography right? (plus quite literally everything else)

@@po.ntandshoot

The Fuji has far, far superior single point autofocus. In harsh light the Ricoh struggles / hunts. Other focus modes, across the board, are much better on the Fuji. The snap focus on the Ricoh is special and works well, but I don't think it will be of much use for landscapes.

@@po.ntandshoot thanks!!!

@@po.ntandshootduly noted 🙏👍

Thanks. I use a GoPro Hero 11 strapped to the chest. When it got dark towards the end I switched to using the DJI Pocket 3 handheld.

Now that's a tough one to answer, but it sounds like the Ricoh is for you. No other camera can match its quality to size. I prefer the image quality straight out of camera over the Fuji. Given how much you travel, the only drawback is its durability...going from a 5D to the GR...that will take some getting used to. However, provided it's got a snug leather case and it sits snug in your front pocket, it will be absolutely fine. Happy for others to chip in!

@@po.ntandshootdo you mind to share the diff btw GR3X vs non-X, and why did you choose GR3X? Many thanks! 🙏

@@csukaryo 35mm is my favourite focal length and as wide as I like to go. I've struggled with 24mm & 28mm in the past. I took a risk with the 40mm and really love it. It isolates subjects, if you want to, pretty well at f/2.8. Thought I might sell it after getting the X100VI, but there's no way I will.

@@po.ntandshoot much appreciated. Certainly nervous for the lack of durability and weather sealing. But a solid case would certainly put things at ease. Thank for your thought and time in putting some fuel on my camera hunting fire. I hope to be shooting one soon. If only I could find one 🤣

@@csukaryo the X is certainly a subject camera. Where the III captures the environment the X condenses your scene to a more focused subject. That’s my opinion, a wide lens is great for everyday adventures and capturing memories where a 40mm equivalent brings in the art of photography.

No, these are edited in lightroom with their respective simulations (positive film for Ricoh, classic negative for Fuji).

@@po.ntandshoot i love it. i am choosing between the two. i don't know editing so if only possble, can you feature both cameras pictures straight from the camera? may include their respective simulation. for dummy like me - capture and upload

@@QuynhAndromache good idea, I can try and make a SOOC comparison video I'm the future. For the Fuji, I used straight out of camera JPEGs in my 'One week with the X100VI', so feel free to check that out. In my opinion, however, the images straight out of the Ricoh GR IIIx are better. I edit the contrast and highlights of these less than the Fuji. I enjoy the positive and negative film presets most.

@@po.ntandshoot I will surely check that out. Thank you for being the person who feature the product based on their real life performance. you let your work speaks volume.

@@QuynhAndromache I appreciate it!
