Please, please let me be the first one to say this:

Judging by the first picture, the camera looks like the dog's bollox.

I think it's often been said that there is no ISO standard with digital cameras. Each manufacturer to their own. If I wanted to test this I would use auto exposure on a white wall, to see what i ...

@absquatulate

Thank-you for that compact orgy of pragmatism. Much appreciated.

I love that seductive design-speak.

121 things not do when you get film camera. Part One.

1. Do not attempt to talk to film camera. Film camera cannot talk.

I like the little wig they've made for it.

(And I hope no one has done that fantastic joke before me)

yes. see page 144 of the manual.  it says use 'spanner' 9 menu and takes around 30 seconds.

yes, let's use this as an oppo to slag of apple, despite samsung using the same format.

Coming back to this I think a monochrome GR3 would be the easiest and cheapest option for them to bring to market. No physical redesigns needed. Have the sensor made without the bayer filter ...

Ricoh once said that a monochrome was in the works. This was long before the Leica. And then Pentax happened, and a lot of thing Ricoh were working on stopped. I would hope something with a new ...

'The lifespan of a camera can be however long YOU want it to be.'

not really. Not if the bl00dy shutter mechanism breaks after x thousand activations and cannot be repaired. Because...

I see – you mean IS. Not really a specific dust solution in response to users' request is it? At least we have no real evidence of that. I suspect the dust removal aspect was simply because it was ...

For example?

@Jones Indiana
I agree lifespans should be increased, but don't think 48-60 is long enough. My Ricoh GRD is still working 15 years later, and the images are arguably at least as good as the GR2 I...

well put. I like your predictions for AF improvement response times. voice? I can't imagine talking to my camera quite yet, but I guess it would be a way out of the menu-diving problems we see in ...

You're probably right. I know that you have delved into the insides of the GR more than most of us put together.

I get what you are saying about factory build vs repair, but when a GR sensor gets dust they replace the whole lens-sensor unit. That's what used to happen with the GRD anyway. I realised it was a ...

Because not all refurbs are going to be faulty returns. and because Apple do a stellar job of selling refurbs equipment, so you think Ricoh USA might too. But there's the problem , because it feels ...

Oh God. This does make the US office sound like a Micky-Mouse operation. I wouldn't buy one after reading that thread.

usually it means 'made-to-be-as-new'. you just need to keep an eye on the ricoh refurb site. You're lucky (guess you are in U.S) - we don't get refurbs in the UK
