Me too. I also regret never buying a GXR. That's another early mirrorless effort that Ricoh canned. It was fabulous. It'd be great if Ricoh could find a way to bring it back to market. With certain ...

This proposal has been made repeatedly in this forum over the years. It's nice to see it pop up again. I would buy a mirrorless LX or K1000 in a heartbeat. That said, every time I've raised this, ...

The default cropping is absolutely unacceptable. Ricoh, what were you thinking? Weekend warriors who want a dad rock compact, go nuts. This is a no-go for pros, and a reminder to enjoy the GIIIx...

Ricoh must be making money off this line, or it wouldn't update it so often. The problem is that it's hard to discern any meaningful updates. Ancient sensor, no RAW etc. It'd be great if Ricoh...

I completely disagree. It would make the X100 series less versatile as a fixed lens camera. The 23mm lens on the X100V is excellent. I wouldn't change it for a thing. The updated 23mm is great. If ...

Y, that's just flat out wrong. The GR has been Ricoh's best selling camera for a while now. It's a rare success for the company's camera division. The Theta line has done well too. Why they can't...

Richard, I think the writing was too compressed then. I understand what you meant to say, but it really doesn't come across that way at all. Maybe another edit?

No, Richard Butler's criticisms weren't that complicated. He just created a fake X-Pro3 user scenario to explain why it's not a true rangefinder experience, by explaining how people still use it as...

I had to stop reading with the X-Pro3 diss. It was uninformed and gratuitous. I barely ever use the live view and don't know many users who do. Nothing X-T4 about the experience.

Thanks for this review, it's great. I agree about the Focus Limiter omissions in the X-Pro3's reviews. As a longtime GR user, it's been a huge bonus. I got my X-Pro3 exactly a year ago, and for the ...

I much prefer the work Ricoh has been doing with the GR series. They're compacts, but both GR models are exquisite photographic tools. I don't feel that as much with Pentax SLRs today. I own a ton ...

This is fair. The viewfinder advantages don't entirely hold.

This is you just doing more of the same Alex.

This is a point I made earlier about the scarcity of Pentax products from Middle Eastern camera retailers, which Alex poo-poohed when I first mentioned it a while back. Pentax kit really has ...

Journalists rarely, if ever, pay these sorts of prices for a fixed lens camera. A high-end ILC, like a Nikon Z9, yes. But those aren't any journalists - they're generally sports and lifestyle...

The unified crop-transform tool was a mistake in my view. It tries to do too much and ends up less useful than the previous iteration of the transform tool. I like the rest of the update a lot, but...

What happened to the 645 series? That's been woefully neglected.

40mm is a great focal length. I really like it. But I've always found 28mm better for street photography, particularly when shooting in crowded settings. However, you can cheat with the GIIIX by...

Third here. As long as you're not shooting moving subjects, it's terrific. I don't use mine a lot, but I've learned to use the XF10 well enough to get the very best out of it. If you tweak the ...

Personally, I find the either/or question unhelpful. For two reasons: - 28mm and 35mm are sufficiently different that, for me, it warrants owning both an X100 series camera and a GR - or GR ...
