Legendary morning man, was an absolute pleasure shooting with you! Very keen to test out the GRIIIX at some point myself, captured some beautiful shots out there and that form factor is very appealing 👀
You have people that have said Fuji lens isn’t sharp…. I’ve seen others say it is. Then people take the word of a select few and recite it as gospel. I wonder if settings have something to do with it. I haven’t canceled my preorder because of it…
I am a former Fuji shooter and know all about the Fuji colors. I had a chance to shoot with the GRIIIX for a few hours and I am blown away by the vibrant colors and the insanely sharp lens. I loved the experience of shooting with the GRIIIX. So what is the catch and there is alway one or two? The battery life is way too short. So you have to bring at least 3-4 extra batteries for a day long shoot. Otherwise, it is a total winner for street photography. It looks like a point-n-shoot camera from a few years ago. Most people did not mind me photographing them with a "toy" camera!!!
One thing I will say, and take this with a grain of salt because I'm a noob ie, is after a year of learning how to use the Ricoh gr3x, I am in love with the pictures I get. They are starting to glow. I'm finding I enjoy shooting with it more than my S5ii, even. There is just a pop, glow, and really cool colors that I can get with the different recipes. It took me a long time to find my groove, but when I found it I'm so grateful
Would love to try the Ricoh but build quality issues regarding rear wheel failing and dust ingress keep me from pulling the trigger and buying..... totally unacceptable for the price and them still not dealing with it ....
As a Fuji shooter i know for a fact the GR3 can resolve the image better on its sensor compared to the X100V and X100VI since they share the exact same 23mm lens Version 2. From a one size built in everything i think the Fuji cam is better with the advantage of the flash. However the Ricoh GR is truly a street photography compact camera. I compared hundreds of images between both systems and the RicohGR Lens truly outclasses the X100VI by quiet a bit and i think thats one thing im highly disappointed with Fuji this time around. Fuji had years of trials and errors to match and exceed the crispy images the ricoh produces. Now why does it matter if you are just going slap on a filter and film simulator? Because you want to start off with the highest of image quality and sharpness before you start to "dehance" your image. You don't want the image to be already soft and continue to dehance it. The looks, the color science, film emulations and accessories and 40mp sensor makes the X100VI truly a monster of a camera, but when it comes to compact size and image quality i think the GR3 gives it a run for its money. Either way i would take both cameras in the heartbeat competition pushes innovation and i love this type of stuff because consumers benefit. However not trying to be mean, i think the X100VI images look way better in this comparison. I dont think the presets fitted well on this video. Either way much love and hope you guys continue to go out and shoot.
Love the X100VI and it’s a pleasure to use. I can see how having a Ricoh GRIIIx in my jacket pockets at all times could be really useful though as a complement. The X100VI isn’t really pocketable.
Ricoh is superb. I had GR2 and was fantastic until got dust into sensor. Since few years I own a Fuji Xf10, looking at today prices, seems I got the best camera in the world
I have both and am keeping both. I love them each in their own ways and they both deliver such great images. Depending on what/where I feel like shooting drives which I grab.
Oh nice! Not sure why I was under the impression that it didn't. May have misread that somewhere else. Definitely a feature that needs to be on more cameras.@@Jay_Ducker
The last comment - want and need. I started with the GR3 and there are so many videos that tempt me, but I feel like GR3 with lightroom is great, granted the battery is low but one can always purchase more batteries. GR3 sits in my pocket at all times.
The Ricoh is simply a far better value, I feel. It is horrible at video, but the iPhone does video better than the Fuji anyways, so not a deal breaker.
Finally, I've been waiting for this comparison for a very long time. Comparisons with the fifth series were far from in her favor, but maybe in the sixth series Fujifilm had a good camera, in the fifth version there was a very soapy picture, GR3X just tore apart in terms of picture quality. Although even if Fujii wins this comparison, one of the engineers hinted that the 4 series GR will be very soon.
I find both cameras outstanding. I wish the Ricoh GRIIIx could AF better (faster) in lower light and not miss shots. Maybe Ricoh GRIV and not a Ricoh GRIIIx HF Filter edition.
I am struggling to understand... if you were lucky to have had the right equipment and the right settings, how come two out of the three photos you took of the monk and kneeling woman failed? Were you just 'lucky', and that's that? I enjoy using both Fuji and Ricoh, so there is nothing biased here, just an amateur trying to understand how to take better photos 😊
I guess I panicked. I was still kinda half asleep. Luckily I could grab the Ricoh from my pocket and have enough time to compose myself to get it on the third.
The trick to getting good photos is to set the shutter button to drive mode and click as many pictures in a second as possible. The dirty secret of "pro" photography is that they delete more pictures than they keep.
For me the X100 just makes me want to grab the camera and take pictures. I had a full Sony kit but I started to dislike dragging it all along - I also didn't enjoy using them as much as I do with the Fuji.. even though the Sony was a much better camera really. I also really liked the X-E4 though, hopefully X-E5 with ibis some day.
Damn I am at this point where I start to question my decision of selling Fuji X-E3 + XF 35 f1.4 for Canon R8 + RF 35 f1.8. Canon image quality, grip, autofocus, fully touch lcd and so on are so much better but I miss my small Fuji, colors that it produces, aperture rings and metal built of lenses. I might really go back and if Fuji releases X-E5 with IBIS it will seal the deal for me.
@@MrRafalEnI think there are better options than the R8 personally (not that it's a bad camera, far from it). If you want grip and auto focus.. yet you like fuji colors the x-s20 is also a great option, or xt5? Though I loved the x-e line too, an x-e5 with x-s20 internals would be perfect.
The white backdrop to your photos makes it difficult to see the photo in a dark room. Maybe you care about that or maybe you don't, but I thought you should know.
That photo you captured in the beginning is awesome. Im lookin at the Ricoh griiix since ive been going on more runs and getting into trail running and exploring more for health. I want another pocketable camera that I can always have on me. I had a griii in the past and liked it but found it just to be too wide for me after awhile. from reviewing a lot of raw files from both and not sure if it is my eyes but I think the Ricoh files are sharper and prefer the color science more than the fuji. The fuji film settings are nice and do like the look. But something about the Ricoh files. I downloaded raws and edited them to play with from the Ricoh griiix. And wow, Stunning.
Firstly thank you! That’s very kind of you to say. Secondly, I agree. The gr3x focal length is a 40mm equivalent which for me is a lovely focal length. I think the images are sharper than the Fuji and resolve better. It’s a terrific camera!
I finally have my pre-ordered X100VI. I do also own a Sony A7 IV. My question is: Does the Fuji X100 VI have the Soft Skin Effect, like the Sony A7IV???? Please can you check on it? I can't find it on the X100VI.
All my photos with the Ricoh are graded with my presets and all of Sean’s photos are with a Fuji recipe. We obviously could have planned this video better but it’s not to be taken too seriously
Shots far too over manipulated for me. GR too dark and Fuji too warm and soft. Would prefer MUCH closer to straight out of camera. Pocket 3 quality is very good.
had the ricoh gr3x for a week...as a huge Person with huge hands, the ricoh was just too small for me and the buttons and wheels felt way too cheap when you're used to canon, nikon or sony. I'm comparing the Ricoh and Fuji in a JPG only Street Situationen....the way you can Setup the Fuji is just really nerdy and I love it - the Pictures out of the ricoh were too clean and modern for me - the Fuji has just so much more character, didn't want to believe the hype but it is what it is ...this time 😂
I agree with you actually on most points, If you check out my page I only really shoot Fujifilm so I know what you mean but on this occasion and mainly street photography I prefer the Ricoh
I personally preferred the Fuji porta simulation. However I'm confident that the Ricoh would be sharper, more detailed and perform better in low light.
Your explanation behind possibly not being able to have captured that shot with the X100VI doesn’t make sense. If I’m walking ANYWHERE while on holiday my camera is not only around my shoulder/neck. It’s set up really to shoot at f8 or your preferred aperture. It’s most likely already on only needing to be woke up. The final shot you got would have been at double the mega pixels of your Richo giving you either the ability to print much larger or crop with significantly more data to work with.
That’s you not me. I was on my way to a coffee shop with no intention of taking any photos. The Ricoh was just sat in my pocket and I was able to grab the shot without delving through my bag. You may keep it round your neck all day but I don’t.
@@Jay_DuckerThat is me too. I am debating between these cameras as well and tried a GRIII for a few days recently. I carry my Canon 5D MkIV about everywhere when traveling, but in public transportation, going to dinner, or often at night, the GRIII seems like a great companion that is more easily accessible. I cannot easily carry both the Fuji and Canon. Such a tough decision. Then there is 28 vs 40 for the Ricoh desision. I love tighter travel shots, but when out with my dog or photographing people on a sidewalk, that 28 seems more useful.
I don't see the appeal of more megapixels with a softer image. I much prefer the sharpness of the GRiii, and the colour science too. The colours are so much more Leica-like on the Ricoh.
@@danwoodliefphotography871 The Ricoh does not have a flash. Something to consider if carrying out to dinner. And definitely get the 28mm for dinner shots. 40mm struggles to capture the entire table when shooting seated at it.
Go check out my TRAVEL PACK and let me know what you think about the X100VI - Love to know your thoughts!
Legendary morning man, was an absolute pleasure shooting with you! Very keen to test out the GRIIIX at some point myself, captured some beautiful shots out there and that form factor is very appealing 👀
Yes mate, great morning! I'd love to see a video of you working that camera!
You have people that have said Fuji lens isn’t sharp…. I’ve seen others say it is. Then people take the word of a select few and recite it as gospel. I wonder if settings have something to do with it. I haven’t canceled my preorder because of it…
One of your best videos yet! Visuals are great and very valid opinions! Keep up the hard work! :)
Thank you! Appreciate it!
GR3 = 28mm X100VI = 35mm GR3X=40mm Great vid!
Definitely enjoy these types of videos much more
Thank you for this video. After I watch it, I feel no GAS anymore to buy a GX100VI. Ricoh GR3 is still amazing!

G.A.S for life!!!
Fab video great to see two different points of view!
Once got out from GAS and truly engaging in photography, X100 series really don't get me anymore.

Agreed. The Ricoh lens is truly impressive. The x100v lens is fine.
I believe you from what little I’ve seen. Do you have any links or sites that make a comparison between the Ricoh and the x100v(s)? Thank you.
I think the Ricoh had more 3D pop. The Fuji looked very flat, almost phone-like.
I have both cameras, perfect for street. I use the Ricoh when my confidence is rock bottom, FujiX100v when I’m feeling good
I like that
Ricoh is not only compact but also has better image quality. everyone will agree.
Love the X100VI and it’s a pleasure to use. I can see how having a Ricoh GRIIIx in my jacket pockets at all times could be really useful though as a complement. The X100VI isn’t really pocketable.
It’s not that pocketable right!?
Both with Portra 800 recipe, not sure why, but the Ricoh wins easily since the Fuji is jacking up the warm tones to be over saturated or strong.
Ricoh is superb. I had GR2 and was fantastic until got dust into sensor. Since few years I own a Fuji Xf10, looking at today prices, seems I got the best camera in the world
fuji x100VI 35mm
Ricoh GRx 40mm
Ricoh GR 28mm
I have both and am keeping both. I love them each in their own ways and they both deliver such great images. Depending on what/where I feel like shooting drives which I grab.
Ricoh >>>
The Fuji shots were more appealing to me. Also the built in ND options is amazing. All pocket cams should have that.
The Ricoh has a built in ND
Oh nice! Not sure why I was under the impression that it didn't. May have misread that somewhere else. Definitely a feature that needs to be on more cameras.@@Jay_Ducker
Thank you for the video, just bought the ricoh week ago. Anyway, welcome to Thailand!
Hope you enjoy it!

The Ricoh is simply a far better value, I feel. It is horrible at video, but the iPhone does video better than the Fuji anyways, so not a deal breaker.
Why do they keep comparing two very different cameras ?
Awesome. I use a Canon G7X III as my daily driver street camera. 😅 Btw the vlog quality looks impeccable. Is it Pocket 3?
Yes it is!

Thailand! from FC TH
I’ve owned both cameras and I’ve currently got the X100vi which feels 100 times better in the hand, feels like a real camera
Yeah I agree this!
I kinda feel like if you want a real camera feel, get a camera with changeable lenses.
the grIIIx results are darker. Are you purposely doing that? or is it film sim or highligh weighted metering?
All my photos with the Ricoh are graded with my presets and all of Sean’s photos are with a Fuji recipe. We obviously could have planned this video better but it’s not to be taken too seriously
good thoughts
Is it just me or that the osmo pocket so good that one could literally take a frame off it's video and it'd be a better photo than the x100vi? 🤔🤔

@Jay_Ducker I have gr3, and I need something for video. Should I get this combo or sell gr3 and get x100vi to do both? 🤔
@@dandaan Thats tough man! Are you vlogging?
@Jay_Ducker I'll be mostly behind the camera. Film my partner
@@dandaan I hate to say it but if you can get your hands on the X100VI i would go for that
Fuji!
I personally preferred the Fuji porta simulation. However I'm confident that the Ricoh would be sharper, more detailed and perform better in low light.
The images that GR III makes clearly win easily!
Which one do u pick up between gr3 and gr3x?
