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.

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.

Pros: All: Dynamic quality held high ISO versatility. It is the faculty of use photo quality in general

Cons: Nobody

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!

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.
