40??? Yuck

Own it? What are your thoughts?

You had to post an Apple Watch Ultra vid huh??? You must have known I’ve added this to my cart about 100 times now without pulling the trigger lol 😂😂

Great video. I’ve been wanting to get into this.

Love the tip about capturing that everyday human movement. Never thought about waiting in a position for something to possibly happen but I guess that’s just the beauty of it also

Love it

I’m very advanced but still appreciate these beginner tips.

What street photography tip would you add?

I take my Sony RX100 M4 with me when I’m scouting an area for great scenes to photograph because sometimes, even years later I can use these photos in prints if I want too… You can’t do that with a cell phone!

Love it man!

Great vid!

Love it dude! the 85 is king! the video editing is great too, love the animations when going over aperture. Will definitely be a go to when explaining this stuff to non photographer friends when they ask

Super helpful

Another great video. Thanks man!

Good stuff!

At what point/skill level do you think a beginner is ready to start messing with aftermarket lenses/ more advanced camera? Right away or should you get completely comfortable with a standard affordable DSLR that comes with a lense off the bat?

Love the info

They’re both great

After

Babe wake up Ryan Root dropped a new vid

I like it. I would have loved to have seen some pixel peeping or color saturation discussion.

I like old point 'n shoot digicams because... of the imperfection and challenge. With modern cell phone cameras, you don't know if your picture is... actually the photo of the scene, or some ai generated amalgamation what your phone's algorithm thinks you want to see. I want the challenge, and being human -- I embrace the imperfection and uncertainty of using an actual camera.

I wanted to get into photography and i bought the iphone 15 pro. It just makes the most sense, because of a few reasons and yes, i think they are fairly universal. (1) People want, need, have and upgrade their phones. Regardless if you are getting a new phone for the camera, you and yeeees, maybe not the exact person that is reading it, but you will upgrade your phone and it's expensive. Cameras though..... equally if you look for compact, which, is NOT something i had on my radar, when i was deciding in which direction i wanna go, and WAAAAY more if you go bigger. So to have both things under the same hood is just SO GOOOD! (2) The flexibility and ease of use is incredible for a beginner. Yes, some will smirk, but i have multiple lenses in my pocket, everywhere, even when i had no desire to take photos and can just take pictures. I don't need to worry about anything. It's just there. While i totally get, that the process is not as great on a phone, it's easy, it's intuitive and there is room to grow, learn and experiment. It also gives you flexibility with what you camera can do, BECAUSE it relys so much on computational photography. No NEED for RAW and editing, no NEED for a tripod even when it's dark or if you want to take a picture of the night sky. It just works and lets you have fun. (3) I can always decide i want something different, bigger, something with lenses or something small, but that is a dedicated camera, while still not having to "forgo" my purchase. Do people really argue that phone cameras or the iphone is the technically superior camera, that takes better photos? Nope and i think most people that say they prefer the iphone, would switch to your camp, if they had the camera in their hands. But that's where it ends up. The camera you have..... and there just a lot of good arguments for buying a whole phone, instead of "just" a camera.

The thing that I like about my compact camera that newer models no longer have is the 30x optical zoom. 2018 is the last new model that this advantage. In fact I have just bought a sx470hs 40x zoom first release in 2018. I hate taking pictures on my phone and always find it funny when I see someone taking the time to compose a shot on their phones. 👍🤠

What a breath of fresh air, the massive Klieg light turned down to a candle flicker. Humans speaking to humans. Thanks. Currently shooting on A7C and X100V, but I've been looking at the GR3 (X) for years now and this video was very helpful in moving the needle a bit. Much appreciated. Keep up the great work. Minimalist and authentic, clear messaging, insightful, warm Nashville-style plain-speaking charm and tongue-in-cheek fun. What's not to like? I'm in.

I don’t know about your hands but I can shoot everything with one hand and a normal I phone 14 pro with a case… I HATE shooting with a compact ( have the rx 100 ) it’s horrible, „shoot and go“ and 90% is unsharp even though autofocus is green and so on plus image quality is worse than my phone… it’s super embarrassing and I feel 2nd hand shame for Sony …. Maybe you should consider learning your phone better :)

True.

Hey Ryan, nice video! Totally onboard with your points. Been stalling away my Canon G7X (1st gen) for a while and been only using my iPhone. Trying to get back into the game with photo-shooting portraits and my dogs, maybe some vlogging on the side. Would you recommend any compact camera that carries the benefits that you mentioned while helping me to achieve my goal? Thanks a lot man! All in all, great video! A new sub! Ed

I own the GRiii and it is probably my most used camera. However I know a few people who have abandoned big digital slr or mirroless cameras for their smart phone. I recently did an exhibition with images printed at A3. Some were combined images from an iPhone se 2020 and the GRiii and one was just a combined image from the iPhone. All looked great at A3. Am I selling the GRiii? No. Am I getting a grip for my iPhone 15 and will consider using it a lot more yep.

Its the same thing but lacks that cool aesthetic of benq controller

Totally agree a camera is a real camera and a phone is a phone with a camera still rather go with a Ricoh

HAHAHA

😂😂😂

😂

Lol

This is an argument I haven't seen today. I appreciate your perspective. At least you considered the problems to be solved. The two work arounds I can think of off the bat is 1.) a smartphone cage with an ergonomic handle like Tilta from Kronos, and 2.) The do not disturb switch in your system window for however long your shooting session will be. The drawback, it's still a lot more work and time to set up your shoot than just pulling out your dedicated camera, unless it happens to be a 2nd smartphone; and provided your camera doesn't have an extensive lens setup. Thank you for this.

Ryan you are 100% on Point!!! Thanks for making this video. I’m a seasoned photographer of 50yrs experience. I can’t agree more….. camera’s and lenses are made for photography cell phones are okay for the occasional snapshot. You have detailed everything I can think of in your video. Wishing you great success with your channel. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts- forward to great photography- keep the content coming as technology improves daily.Thanks ❤

You can turn off all destructive notifications just using Focus menu... turn on AT Work and use iphone just as a camera)

also: smaller sensor compact cameras tends to be capable of very long optical zooms

When I used to work for Olympus, we had a saying, "You can't beat glass." What that meant most directly, was the lens was often more important than the rest of the camera. It mattered in how much light got to the sensor, and how things like bokeh and lens flares looked. Cell phone cameras, regardless how many megapixel their sensors are, or how much technology they try to cram into them have two major, major issues right off the top. Minuscule lenses, and equally minuscule sensors. It doesn't matter if you cram a 150mp sensor into a phone if it's shooting through a pinhole. These are limitations that will always exist. So cellphones have to rely on software to make up that difference. This is why you see the kind of things you do in cellphone images, the bokeh looks fake, because it is. The abrupt breaks between subject and background seem unnatural because they are. it's all done by the software. And that's not even getting into some of the other things that cellphone cameras routinely do. I've seen them full on hallucinate, and add in light sources that weren't there, flatten surfaces that weren't flat, etc. I have a pretty nice smartphone, I also have a couple pretty nice dedicated cameras. And if i have the choice, the cameras almost always find their way into my hands before the phone does unless I'm taking a photo that doesn't really matter.

It's all cool until youtube recommends such vids multiple times till you buy one and you can't focus on SHIT with this Ricoh GRIIIx. Also the metering mode is seriously fucked on this, usually underexposes 4 in 10 photos. 3 in 10 photos are out of focus. I am just horrified with the amount of memories I've lost just trying to make this camera work.

Nice

I bought a Ricoh GRD1 from 2009 for $175. It’s always with me. I love my phone but a tool that is focused on one thing only is better than a multi functioning device that does a bunch of things decently but never good enough.

All of this is how I've felt. I don't know why people aren't making these arguments more often.
