  | sent on 03 Ottobre 2021 Pros: Ergonomics, shooting feeling, software,... Cons: Slow and hesitant AF in non-optimal light, few megapixels, ridiculous battery, no standard microUSB port Opinion: Maybe I discovered hot water, but I think it's the best camera I've ever owned. Immediate, fast, pleasant, portable. In 5 minutes I set it without even needing the manual and it fits me like a glove. A few buttons in the right place, customizable with what you need. Menus quite clear but above all designed by those who take the photographs. To realize this, it is enough just to look at the possibility of having the folders divided by date and the fact that turning off the camera to make the count of daily shots ... For me the only real flaw is the battery (it lasts half a day of real use) but even more the absence of a standard port, which forces me to have a proprietary cable with me. |
 | sent on 24 Luglio 2019 Pros: Apsc, sharpness also at TA, handling, responsiveness, snapfocus, burst, B/N filters, quick access buttons to essential functions. Cons: 16 mpixel, max iso to have a great image is 3200, no zoom, AF slow in low light/contrast conditions. Opinion: What about...... I'm in love with him. You put it in your pocket and you're affixed. Many relegate her to street shots, and in fact that's her kingdom. However, I also use it with pleasure in making simple family photos or for some landscape. Raw files are workable the right (they do not allow impossible recoveries). The Jpg filters, customizable, allow you to also have "ready" images without playing too much with the pp. The B/N looks like its natural kingdom: Its B/N files, both obtained in the car and in the pp phase, have a fascinating one. If it had zoomed it would have been from "11", but the focal length of 27 mm I find it natural (like shooting with a smartphone). As a tool it goes totally unnoticed. A colleague, not passionate, who saw her on my wrist teased me because she thought it was an old compact from the 90s. When I explained to him what he was capable of and showing him a few shots, it was all the more true. I highly recommend it. |
  | sent on 22 Luglio 2018 Pros: All: Dynamic quality held high ISO versatility. It is the faculty of use photo quality in general Cons: Nobody Opinion: In my opinion is the reference of the compact quality the use of a few months is giving me great satisfaction for me that I come from the world Canon-I have a 5d Ff kit-is a pleasant surprise superb for the Street does not disdain even photos of gender I tried comp Canon Atte Panasonic is Fuji but this beats them all 10 rating and praise |
 | sent on 23 Gennaio 2018 Pros: few frills, reactive and customizable, fast cascade menu, discreet but beautiful, and top category handle Cons: attentive to dust, great sensor but feel the years should be updated Opinion: G7X, RX100, LX100, X70 I have had none of them surprised me so much as the GR, I wonder why I have snubbed it so long I would have found the peace of mind for years, ergonomics is top of the class in one hand and you control EVERYTHING with 2 fingers, a week of practice and you eat it literally, always with 2 fingers - rnrnzoom dials under menu waiting infinite settings no with the GR taken without thoughts, 28mm aps-c and snap shot ( adjustable) this is all you really need, there's nothing else to know, obviously it's not for everyone, but if you're used to shooting with the 28mm fixed can give great satisfaction the car does the rest --rnrnil display? the display is updated to 60hz in my opinion (during the day) is very fluid and fast nothing comparable to the others and being the only thing to frame the scene in my opinion is a big plus - you can watch the photos even when the car is off and you can watch shutter count datawithout switching from the computer, how many times it has been turned on, how many times it has been turned off as many macro photos as normal photos etcc - rnrnho big expectations for the markIII, the sensor can be improved on this the X70 the supersedes - just note, preserve it from the dust, he hates it! |
 | sent on 03 Dicembre 2017 Pros: Compact, lightweight, pocket-sized, excellent raw at low ISO, snap shot ... one of the best cameras for street photography Cons: Lack of tropicalization, slow autofocus, high ISO, lack of a tiltable screen Opinion: I've been using this camera for several months ... it's time to write a short review:) rnrnCorpo Machine: the Ricoh is a perfect car to carry around every day, weighs only 250 grams (less than 70 x XF / LX100), it is pocketable (it can be transported comfortably in the pocket of jeans or jacket). As a nikon user I found myself immediately at ease with the arrangement of the keys (some of which can be customized), the menu is very simple and intuitive. Good construction quality, even if light, the machine seems robust and solid.rnrnObjective: 28 mm is a lens difficult to use as a handyman, before buying the car I recommend carefully consider this aspect.The optics is very clear even at TA, further improves to f5,6 / 8. The distortion is well controlled to be a medium-wide angle. rnrnSensor: The 16 mp sensor without filter, combined with a high-level lens, allows you to have excellent images up to 800 ISO, at 1600 ISO noise is accecan be reduced to 3200-6400 ISO noise becomes a limit for color photos.rnrnAutofocus: the focus of the machine is not very fast and sometimes inaccurate, there is a lag between the moment you press the shutter and the recording of images. To overcome these limitations of the machine I find it very useful to use the burst (not to lose the "critical" moment) and above all the Snap Shoot.rn function Setting a focusing distance (1-1.5-2 meters) and clicking on the button shooting halfway, the photo is normally focused, if instead the button is pressed all the way down, the camera shoots without lag at the chosen distance. This is a very convenient system for street photography, where the association of a wide-angle lens combined with a closed diaphragm, allows an immediate and precise focus.rnrnOther functions: you can use presets for the management of colors and BW, they seem valid species for black and white images. rnrnConclusions: I recommend the Ricoh to all fans of street photography or reportage, it is a small, inconspicuous camera that nevertheless gives great images. I do not recommend the car to those looking for a compact all-rounder, the 28 mm is not easy to use, it can be more comfortable a 35 (such as the Fuji x100 series), or equipped with a zoom (sony rx 100 or the Panasonic Lx100) .rnrnNote : Looking on the net I read some cases of accumulation of dust on the sensor, in my experience I had no problems, the only precaution I used was to always use a case. |

 | sent on 13 Settembre 2017 Pros: pocket, lens, image quality, controls, bulb 300 seconds, ND filter, wider 21mm quality. Cons: expensive accessories, huddling AF, dust cases on the sensor are reported. Opinion: The GR has a long tradition, over the years has remained faithful to itself with a unmistakable design and approach to photography. At first I got a bit to understand it, the 28mm was a focal point that made me anxious, "too extreme to be non-interchangeable, better to go on a more reassuring 35mm or 40mm," I said, but in the end it remained.rnTechnically is the state of the art of Ricoh, the 28mm has a star quality and pairs with a great sensor without AA filter. At ISO highs the behavior is great, luminance noise is present but of high quality, resembles the film grain, but the color is obvious, but with CaptureOne it completely eliminates it even in iso 3200-6400 without piercing the colors. The approach of commands is special, you use levers and sliders, at first it is blurry, but after half day you control the machine with two fingers of one hand. rnOften often the GR approaches the art of street photography, where I confidentlyEntity has tremendous potential, but it's not just a street-camera, the use in reportage, family, mountain, sea, trekking or MTB exits, is small and can be taken anywhere by expanding photographic opportunities. It has an extra wide wedge that transforms you 28mm into 21mm, pretty expensive, but not so much if you think a quality 21mm f2.8 usually costs important digits. The AF is good, but with little light engaging in fatigue, while the snap-focus function allows you to work in hyperfocal with easy disarming. rnrn |
 | sent on 01 Giugno 2017 Pros: Lens / sensor with very high quality, good ISO hold, extremely comfortable controls, easily customizable / configurable, 10 cm macro focus, 1/4000 to 300s shutter speed, DNG raw file, excellent jpg quality, and The best in the end ... SNAP FOCUS Cons: Lack of tilting screen. AF fairly in crisis with little light. Late shooting with AF enabled. The screen is not touch. Opinion: I was looking for a compact for use mainly for street photography with fixed optics. Reading various reviews and seeing competing machines, I came to the conclusion that Ricoh was the ideal one. Well, once received, expectations have not only been confirmed, but far exceeded! RnOk, it is true that even before receiving it I had read the entire manual several times ... and ok, I also saw several videos about Youtube on the recommended settings ... but within half an hour I was already completely set up and navigated easily between the menus (much more comfortable than the Nikon ones with which I can make a direct comparison) rnParting from the configurability, you Have 3 keys to assign optional features and 3 settings on the ring to record their own configurations to call on the fly. This means that within 1 second you can switch from ideal settings to very strong external light to the ideal for dark interior without even having to lookThe other feature that I find comfortable is the snap focus, that is, the focus area. From the menu you can preset the focusing distance and, based on the selected aperture, the depth of field within which the subject is considered in focus is displayed. This is obvious to low-light focusing and resets the shutter lag, also switching to AF, focusing the subject, and returning to snap focus mode, also indicates the distance to which the subject is located. RnComoda, But not indispensable, the ability to disable disabling the screen and ignition of the machine to go unnoticed. It is very useful to shoot in manual with speeds up to 300s. It almost always avoids the use of a remote shot at night. RnInsomma if the 28mm focal point you like, I do not think there is much to think about:) rn |
 | sent on 22 Aprile 2017 Pros: Compact, enters the pocket of a shirt; Light, for what it offers; Sharp optics already at 2.8; Ergonomics Perfect positioning of the controls, so that it can be used with one hand; Customization of the functions really incredible; Good hold at high ISO, or good up to 3200 and can still be used at 6400, especially in view of a conversion to black and white; Wi-Fi that can be convenient; Silence responsiveness and ignition speed; Focus distance in macro mode, SNAP Focus! Cons: Lack of tropicalization, or at least resistance to atmospheric agents and/or dust; AF not super fast in the dark but still very good in good light. Opinion: I think you understand my love for this little machine already from the long list of pros; I had in the past the x70, which I sold to then move to GR II. The focal 28 I like very much and in my opinion is the best to tell places and situations; I understand that this is an extremely personal opinion, but in photography what is not? I don't think I've ever had such a good feeling with a photographic medium. I have to outfit-also for work-two 5d Mark III, some L-series lens and I have had in the past other machines, including other brands (from Nikon, to Pentax, passing through the Sony A7): None gave me a comparable photographic joy. I will seem exaggerated, but I would invite anyone to try this little monster, because if the focal is the right one for you, you will hardly need to look anything else in the market. I am aware of the existence of the Leica Q, and I admit that it is my forbidden dream; Maybe someday I can afford it, but I don't think I'd give up the GR because of the portability. I look forward to the presentation of the third version, hoping that it will keep all the pros and that are filled some small gaps, but for now I live my love in a dispunked way. |
 | sent on 24 Febbraio 2017 Pros: Super compact, feather weight, portability, high iso held up to 3200 colors and bw 6400, APS-C sensor bayer, no AA filter, fixed focus, razor sharp lens on the whole fotrogramma also TA, quality display, camera body magnesium, wifi, retractable flash, flash sync speed 1/2000 sec, shutter on the lens, RAW in DNG format (such as Leica), speed ignition turned off by impressive, write buffer illimitao, minimum shutter speed up to 300 sec (great for night photos), shot noise nonexistent, bright colors. Cons: a low contrast AF in critical condition (problem since you can cheat with Snap / hyperfocal mode), battery life improved Opinion: I finally left my Leica M9 for this compact. You'll think I'm crazy, but I think it is an undervalued GRII Ricoh machine. To start the car embrace a philosophy similar to leica about the aesthetics of its bodies, not by chance today, it reflects the same digital camera body of its film predecessors (see Ricoh G1), this means that aesthetics not having undergone major changes over time, it means that funziona.rnIn Secondly GRII the choosing for his philosophy, is a simple machine, conceived and designed by those who actually use it, a responsive machine, sileziosa and invisible to the eye of others. Its lens (28mm equivalent FF) is compared to a 28mm Leica, because of its clarity, this is also thanks to his generous sensor APS-C matrix bayer without AA filter, it is sharp throughout the frame already at f2.8 . The machine also processes raw files in Adobe's DNG (the same format used on the universal format really rich color camera Leica) bodies and dettagli.rnInoltre despiteThe plan to its 16mpx and dating back to 2015 in my opinion is by far larger than the new Fuji X70, which compared the final yield, the fuji is really high iso pessima.rnAgli the GRII beats by far my Leica M9, ??where died at 800 iSO, while the GRII allows me to peacefully take in 3200 and 6400 in white color nero.rnL'autofocus albeit slow in critical light conditions, the machine allows you to quickly switchare to snap mode (iperfocale dedicated and studied ad hoc with distance scale depending on the aperture used, all conveniently visible on the display) .rnPersonalmente I think the GRII a perfect machine for landscape photos, street and reportage.rnInizialmente will seem like a machine devoid of meaning, and if not understood his philosophy it is hard to take pictures. Intesamente later after using it for at least a week after the purchase, bringing it around every day, you will find that due: to the lens, hyperfocal, snap mode, sileziosità, competezza, general versatility .. The machine è a deadly weapon that will allow you to shoot without being noticed ravvicinate.rnrnQui distances to find the quality tests compared with other brands: rnrnhttps: //www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison/fullscreen? attr18 = daylight & attr13_0 = ricoh_grii & attr13_1 = fujifilm_x70 & attr13_2 = leica_m_monochrom_typ246 & attr13_3 = fujifilm_x100t & attr15_0 = B & attr15_1 = B & attr15_2 = B & attr15_3 = B & attr16_0 = 400 & attr16_1 = 400 & attr16_2 = 400 & attr16_3 = 400 & normalization = full & widget = 1 & x = 0 & y = 0 |
 | sent on 15 Novembre 2016 Pros: image quality, compact, lightweight, controls arranged rationally, lens Cons: Lack tilting display, EVF, tropicalization Opinion: I bought it out of curiosity, convinced that within a few days I would have returned to the sender ...... and instead became a traveling companion! Accomplice the size and weight, it fits easily in your pocket (even jeans!) And without sacrificing image quality that, indeed, is at high levels. I believe that the absence of the anti-aliasing filter contributes greatly to achieve excellent results in terms of sharpness and detail. The colors are played, for me, very very well. The beginning commands leave disoriented; after a while 'you realize how well, however, are placed! For the Street is considered the queen machine, but I would advise also for portraits, landscapes (!!) and architecture. Not satisfied, I bought from Japan even the wide converter that drives the Ricoh 21mm (FF) allowing you to venture onto the landscape, with excellent results. The raw are of excellent workability while the JPEG are pleasant at low iso.rnIn network often reads the dust problem in the sensor; when I si is presented, but must in fact be taken not to expose troppo.rnTra cons I put things missing that, in fact, represent a hope for the next incarnation of this great GR: in particular a mini EVF (like Sony RX100) is a necessity for sunny days especially when it is quite difficult to rely solely display.rnIn summary: congratulations to Ricoh for baked qiesto little gem, at a price all things considered affordable (patiently lie dipoco offers above 600 euro) |
 | sent on 12 Novembre 2016 Pros: compactness, portability, light, image quality (either JPG or RAW), high ISO estate, coupled sensor and lens, quick menu, display quality, excellent materials, wifi, retractable flash, so many effects, the b / n is fabulous . Cons: no small viewfinder, Sony RX type IV, for the rest fully meets my needs. Opinion: it is all presented in stunning Pro.rnmacchina. in a body so small there is all the necessary technology and lots and lots of quality immagini.rnamo Fuji, but a matter of size I preferred this small and beautiful GR II to Fuji X100S. the photo quality (high) is similar, but the GR is the true pocket and really fits in your pocket. It is a machine that stands out and remains very discreet, very good thing when you want to photograph without much noticed. It looks almost like a toy. once contested and set ad hoc, you'll immediately notice the potential, of the materials carefully (good) and above all put the command at the right point. lightweight, fast, able to churn out amazing photos. is the strepitosa.rnla leave almost always coupled optical / sensor f2.8 and is very sharp, even to bordi.rni JPG are great, strange thing is that the RAW often are still better than the JPG and working benissimo.rnmacchina ( right) recommended. it is a pleasure! rnnonIt is the ideal machine for those with big hands. the car is really small (like a compact from a few Euros), but the compromise of those who want the maximum compactness, without sacrificing quality. behold, the GR II is the perfect machine to take with itself! |
 | sent on 13 Luglio 2016 Pros: Compact, black and white quality, very versatile. Cons: Only thing (solve) the dust that enters when the machine is turned on. Opinion: I own a Ricoh gr (equal to Ricoh GrII) photographer for some time the street scene and in addition to this photographer with Leica, Nikon and Sony, including DSLR and mirrorless, photographer almost exclusively in BW Ricoh is remarkable for compactness and image quality, excellent BW with lots of grays and a remarkably usable files in post, the only flaw is that precisely the dust if you leave the machine switched on and therefore always ready to shoot in through the front of the lens to dirty the slide which is in front of the sensor, I I often use GW-3 wide conversion lens mounted in front avoids the problem, or its adapter supplied with the camenra with a skylight or uV filter, of course in this way affects the beauty of the extreme portability that characterizes the Ricoh Gr, or turn on / turn off the machine continuously so that the front closing prevents dust from entering, there are those who also use a small vacuum cleaner after each session to vacuum debris from the front, I read lots of reviews and some that use itcompare the beauty of surrender to the Leica Elmarit 28mm, a machine can not miss if you are passionate about street photography, in each case who the test and knows what is using never left it. |
 | sent on 22 Settembre 2015 Pros: Compactness, lightness, controls and regulations, quality of raw file is that jpeg, speed, convenience Cons: L 'lens ring could come loose and fall off by removing the chamber from the pocket of jeans.rnLa battery charges only to' interior of the room, an external charger must be purchased separately. Opinion: I took this compact during a trip to Japan, where I wanted to leave home SLRs and their weight and size; I was not sure if I would regret or less of 'purchase (700 € in Ljubljana), the price is not really low (in Tokyo is about 570 €), after ver also tested Panasonic LX100 (does not fit in your pocket) sony rx III (not economical for my ruddy hands), Sony rx IV (the same as before and overpriced) .rnNon could do better buy! RNLA quality files I find excellent, both raw (dng) both jpeg: sensor Sony APSC without antialiasing filter is also relied on the lens (28mm equivalent fixed) is defined and exceptionally clean from the center to the edges, almost no vignetting; some flare in strong backlight or against the sun, but nothing special; so no zoom (but personally I find it a valuable, do not waste time zooming ha ha ha!), you can choose to shoot in 35mm and 47mm.rnLa GR II fits easily in the pocket of his jeans, and even in that shirt, very light and well built equippto the strap to the wrist, very robust to tatto.rnVelocissima from completely off to first shot in less than a second, very ergonomic and each button in its place, everything is done with the right hand; obviously built by those who use daily this type of rooms, fantastic! Af fast even with modest light, possibility to use auxiliary AF light (green) flash .rnIl is relatively small but powerful, ideal to use in combination with an external flash in slave (wireless-enabled flash) .rnVery low profile, invisible machine than by to 'eye, the snap shot function or the fast shutter always activated, it becomes a war machine for street! Absolutely silenziosa.rnOttimo and super-rich menu, easy to use, great personaizzazione various tasti.rnOttimi and easily activated effects (only jpeg course), especially the BN high contrast, positive film and process incrociato.rnMolto good recovery of the shadows even at high ISO (up to 6400 lavorabilissimi, it goes over to BN) .rnI files that come out are very well contrasted and lookC as you learn to know meglio.rnAlcune photos taken with the GR II you can be found in my galleria.rnCiao at all. |
