  • I would push for a partnership with a smart phone manufacturer. A nikon branded smart phone...yes. I think cipa represents waning interest in "secondary" cameras, (read non-smart phones). Interest...
  • Yes. It's an excellent camera, full stop. I'm not a fanboy nor am I brand loyal. It is one of the most pleasant to use compact cameras currently available.  Amazon has them new for just under $400...
  • By cherry picking a single point out of context to condemn the review aren't you doing the exact same thing? Reviews that don't cover flaws are called "Advertising".
  • I find I greatly prefer 28 to 35, though it has taken some time to get used. Rather than stand back, I find 28 is really best in my usage for getting up close. Moving roughly 1/2 step closer...
  • Though the emotional cliff becomes less steep where people don't have to pin all their hopes to a single big for them purchase.
  • Silly post. The artificially created unnatural colors look faithful? Looking over the set a second time casually, what sticks out most is the red channel seems to blow out leaving a indistinct...
  • Replied in Don't agree
    The camera isn't out for release yet and ricoh may very well be in the end stage of field testing the gr, but something definitely doesn't look "right" to my eye and that's all I care about.  As to...
  • Replied in Popular reviewer
    Mookio has a long history of promoting Ricoh it seems like they are returning the favor. Edit: something is awry with the reds. I realize there are a few threads about this but haven't seen many...
  • Who cares? Get a life.
  • Hands on "review" 1/13, samples released 5/13. Comprehensive (and worthwhile) reviews have been available elsewhere since mid 02/13.

    Perhaps dpr should consider streamlining their methodologies...

  • This may be the most utterly ridiculous comment I've read in the last 3 years on this website.

  • Replied in Search terms
    These can be pesky to search for. A direct search fro ricoh grd iv usually brings up a bunch of inflated rates from Asian sellers. I've had better luck by looking for ricoh gr and than refining to...
  • I have a hard time seeing the iv moving for even half bh list price now. The last year has been exceedingly competitive and unflatering to the grd. The problem is that it's value can't match it's...
  • Are those wasp larvae?
  • It seem like you have two issues in your op. To the first, I would urge you to first consider what focal length you use in your concert photography. If you really can get away with 35 and 90, than...
  • If it was my photo, I would remove the fence and try to remove the trees cluttering the church. This may not be possible with what you have.  My wife noticed it as she walked by and said "that's...
  • Have the confidence to do as you please. You have as much right to post here as anyone. Quit the martyr routine. It's unbecoming.
  • It takes a few weeks to get used to shooting with a new camera. By then you'll have adapted to the body and you'll get a sense of how framing works with an offset lens. Don't worry.
  • You know, it occurs to me that the grit is the first thing I see when looking at these. This is camera produces such smooth images that I can see the desire to add grit, but I think this is a...
  • It's a simple matter of course that most of us have ignored for years. I think 24m is the threshold, but this will just continue to increase in the next generation until stabilization catches up....
