Coming from the world of Canon SLRs, I am absolutely amazed at the quality of the files that this "toy" can produce. It's super fast (from pressing the power button to the first shot doesn't even take a second and a half), although for my approach this parameter is not essential. The lens is incredibly sharp, the noise at high ISO is acceptable and in any case it can be easily managed in post-production (I use DxO PhotoLab 9). I really like the ability to set the mode to P and then be able to vary the three parameters (shutter speed, aperture and ISO, the latter by means of exposure compensation) as if you were in manual. Then all you have to do is press a button to return control to the camera. Despite having normal sized hands, I find the handle too narrow, and in fact I bought a bracket that increases its size and makes it much more comfortable. I have no problem with the dials and rear buttons, whose positions and functions I find quite intuitive. On the other hand, I feel very bad with the shutter button, which is too far back for me: it should be in place of the front ring (the one that controls the aperture in the manual), swapping the positions of the two controls. I'll definitely get used to it, but I don't understand the logic of the arrangement chosen by Ricoh. The autofocus has a curious behavior, it sticks in situations that would seem to be completely quiet and performs very well in others apparently more challenging. I believe that once you understand the limits and strengths it can be exploited quite well. I expected more, in terms of functions and camera management, from the GR World app, which still allows me to transfer the files on the card or in the camera memory (53gb, which perhaps would be enough on their own) to my smartphone and then upload them to the cloud. The transfer from camera to smartphone takes just over a second for jpg files (at maximum resolution) and about three seconds for raw, I would say more than acceptable since you don't have to play with cables and the like. sent on November 21, 2025 |
