I think what happens there is that reviewers are either new to the GR or that these things just don’t matter to them. For me, the lack of 4:3 and the removal of the dials/switches you love are non Issues, but I respect that you like them.
This is well said, I can also respect that Harold and others have issues with the GR III like the 4:3. It is fair enough Harold or anyone make these judgements for yourself, no argument there.
Well, thank you to John and You for that
I firmly suspect that Ricoh do not make sensors, so, they would have HAD to buy someone elses for the GR III, most likely Sony.
Yes for sure the GR aps all have Sony sensors
That said I suspect the only 24Mpixel sensors available in APSC in quantity would have ALL been 3:2 NATIVE ratios.
well yeah by definition they have the 3;2 ratio if they are APSC sensors
So the only thing Ricoh could do it include a 4:3 mode and lose some pixels.
Absolutely. and this is what they did on the GRI and GRII. Plus to be thorough those two models also had their LCD with a 4;3 ratio
I have done a research posting on the old Ricoh forum where I detailed the pixels output in RAW and jpg for each mode and losing pixels from the native sensor is what happened in the GR and GR II models.
Yes absolutely. kind of the same way when you shoot with a 35mm crop in the native 3;2 ratio
