  • The crop modes are handy but it really reduces the pixel dimension of the image. I like using it as a test, to check which focal length would have worked best for a certain situation, having used...

  • Commented on iPhone 5s Studio Comparison article

    I think really lab shots are useless with mobiles. No one should be encouraged to pixel peep with these cameras, not yet anyway. These are fun cameras for snapping your kid emptying a plant over...

    that's true. Nokia used to make the 7*** series which were smartish too! Resale of Apple is good though, otherwise I'd probably hop to the other.

  • Are there? Some advice would be great because I couldn't find any that were around as good as the Fuji. The AF isn't bad with the newest FW. GR is best for 28mm though.

  • £800. The camera + 35mm is 1200 with a free 18mm, sell the 18mm buy the zoom. Might be IRO £200 dearer in total. The EM1 you get a zoom lens, smaller sensor, inferior IQ (although v good) and...

  • Well it looks good. Handling will be much improved. However, for 2k you could get the XP1 or XE1 with 35mm f1.4 and the 23mm f1.4 and the 18-55 zoom. I very much doubt the IQ is as good as the fuji...

  • confirmed uk price is £799. A bit steep that I reckon.

  • ha, you're joking. Must be joking...?

  • The lens on the Ricoh GR is all round better than the fuji 18, slightly more expensive but you get a pocket camera. xpro1 + 23mm & 35mm (35 / 50) alongside ricoh 28mm / 21mm. Win

  • the 18 isn't a great lens I don't think. It's ok. The 35 is amazing.

  • Here, look http://appshopper.com/photography/ricoh-theta  I was hoping for a new GXR!
  • Thanks Tom Yes I figured re pixel info. I do think they'll release a GXRii and contrary to the post above (not yours) I think the GR will inspire Ricoh to do so. The GR is an amazing FIXED lens. If...
  • in the UK: I was actually tempted by the 28-300 but then I thought the CX6 might be a better, cheaper / smaller option for v quick tele snaps. Still undecided.
  • I spoke to the Product Coordinator at Pentax Ricoh Imaging UK today, and Ricoh technical staff. Technical staff said it's discontinued. Stephen Sanderson Product Coordinator at Ricoh has confirmed...
  • actually yes, sometimes I do, smarter than you might think, and perhaps not being able to do so isn't so smart. Sometimes, shooting on the street in either a dangerous environment or a place you...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S Review preview

    I think the only comp is the Ricoh GR. The RX1 is too expensive to compare

  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S Review preview

    The only 'problem' now is:
    x100s is £1000.
    Xpro 1+ 35mm f.14 + 18mm f2 is £1200.
    Ricog GR is £600

    I find it hard to choose between fixed 28, fixed 35 and the option of lenses. I'd keep them all...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S Review preview

    This is an excellent camera. I'd disagree with the ergonomics being better than the Ricoh GR. The Fuji Jpegs are over smeared but the RAWs are great. The general handling of light is the best I've...

  • I imagine pros won't be getting their hands on one of these 'machines'. Not yet anyway.

  • I'm looking forward to that sony phone with similar specs to the RX100
