First! (never done that before :) )
Interesting video guys!
😆 Thanks
Love the Fellow CZcams love here!!!
The Mattias Burling
Mattias is only here for the Ricoh :)
The LX100 II has to be first choice all day long.Such a sweet lens and MFT sensor produces great results. But not shown here are the extra features such as 4K photo, focus stacking, exceptional macro, onion skinning for animation, so much in the way of manual control, and the brilliance of the L. Monochrome. An incredible camera, and it says a lot that once using it, she was not going to swap it for an alternative.
The lady looks bored like "where's my fon" 😊
3 minutes in and i am bored too...hoping we get a comparisson soon!
Andrew Thank you, Thank you for trying out the GR III !! Although I do understand that a view finder would be handy on it. I feel that after a short while you get use to not having it. I have an A7 III, A6600, Canon M50 and a Ricoh GR III and ever since I moved over to mirrorless I hardly ever use the VF on any of my systems, maybe only to confirm focus after shooting a shot. I will have to say that although it may be to personal taste your GR III photos smoked the LX100 in character and quality specially the B&W. The GR III just has that magic look in their photos. When it comes to quality and pocket size camera the GR III is King and hard to beat.
Jorge Baez I’ll agree with the GR III comment. The photos just had something more pleasing that I’d want to look at more.
Richo is crop sensor that why it s more clear than my lovely lx100
This is one of my favorite episodes that you’ve both posted. Great photos and I really enjoyed it!
Thanks! Very glad you enjoyed it.
Love my GRiii especially when paired with FlashQ20II, the leaf shutter allows high off camera flash sync speeds. It makes some great results with a red or yellow gel in high contrast B+W mode. Thanks for the video.
Can't wait to get the Q2II for my Ricoh GRiii. It's an amazing camera. Not at all worried about that new X100V cause this thing will still win in most cases. But i wouldn't be mad it they made a LX200 with the sensor from the S1 lol.
My top pick is #3 and close second #10. Great video guys! Felt natural and home-like to see you document your family for the duel. Thank you both.
Great job.There's just no way to pick a favorite! Gotta admit, there was just "something"about the Ricoh photos, especially the colors, that had me going back for another look. I also like its size, although not its fixed focal length. Canon colors were the runner up for me. Can't wait for your final comparison!
Always love the photo duels. Tough to pick a fav, but I keep coming back to #5. I rented all of the same cameras (except Rx100vi instead of vii) as well as the XF10, and ended up buying the GRIII to replace my aging original GR. The fact that it will slide in my jeans pocket just can't be beat, and the images convert to B&W better than any other camera I own. If they could keep it pocketable and make it an f2 I would cry.
Thanks for highlighting the family documentary use case for advanced point and shoots. Totally overlooked in a lot of reviews (admittedly maybe niche). We picked up an LX10 when we started our family. My main criteria was it had to fit in a tiny diaper bag pocket and have an automated lens cover, lol. So nice to have a decent camera with some controls you can bring anywhere. Great stuff as usual!
Oh and #20 is awesome.
Hi Andrew and Denae ! I like the b&w photos created by the LX100 II . I would like to ask this : Are Denae's pic #19 and #20 created just by L Monochome D or there are post processing applied ? Thank you !
The quality of all the pics were great but my favourite would be number 3. Looking forward to your review to see how the others compare
Great video and beautiful family. Like you Andrew, it's difficult for me to shoot with a screen only. I used to have a Leica that was co-designed with Panasonic and I sold it for that very reason. But that Canon G5X II made some beautiful shots. Denae did win for real with that last photo of the dog. Beautiful shot. Keep'em coming guys.
As always hard pick. Cool that new idea. I've two absolute favourites that I can't decide between. #9 & #24..but they're extremely close followed by 5, 20,21,23 and 25. Thanks for a fun duel. Love Denae's excitement under your presentation of the cameras 😉 I can really relate to that.
How is Leica D lux 7 (Lumix LX100II) in 2021 for street photography.. if compare to fujifilm X100V which one is best pick
I own the original LX100 and am thinking about replacing it with the G5X ii. The Panny is alright but the zoom is slow, colors are pinkish out of camera, dynamic range seems limited, and I feel like like there's less detail due to the 12 mP. What do you think?
may i ask what camera and lens was used to film the second part of the video, it has such great texture and tonality...
#23 and #24 by Andrew are *amazing.* Love the lighting, looks so unique.
As always, you both had some great shots! I think my favorite was #15 "Impossible Decisions."
Was there a specific reason that the majority of the photos were in B&W?
Absolutely a reason. :) czcams.com/video/rJ00d9ReZa4/video.html
Great photo duel as always! All pictures are really good but I like your photos best, Denae, followed by your photos taken on the Canon, Andrew, and I like the Ricoh pictures the least. Having said that - to me #12 is the exception from the above being the best picture!
is the video in low light is good
#3 #5 #12 #15#27 are favorites.
Once you map lens control ring to change zoom, you can select option to have zoom jump between normal focal lengths - 24, 35, 50, 75 mm. (Also works with lever around shutter release).
Great idea!
A vote for #3!
Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on all of these cameras. I don't know if it was just my taste, or if the photos were actually better, but I preferred your shots with the Canon to the Ricoh. Maybe you were having more fun with it, or maybe just the opportunities were better?
Great photo duel, as always ;) I particularly liked the pictures #5, #25 and #27.
ad #5: For me it is the most candid photo. I like the emotion in the photo, it just feels real.
ad #25: The tones in the photo are amazing. The concentrated facial expression while playing gives the photo something warm that reminds you of your own childhood.
ad #27: Great photo, great framing, great black and white, great expression. And even though it feels slightly tilted, it's my favorite of the photo duel. Awesome shot!
Thanks for sharing. The Pana does not always seem to bring sharp images, not even on the area in focus. I wonder whether the Leica Dlux would have made a differece: same hardware as the Pana, but cheaper than the Ricoh and it could have added a different (leica) feel due to different image processing software than the Pana.
#20 was my favorite! The Ricoh shots looked really nice though
Looking forward to see your review about the Canon! Since I now own a T3 and a T2 for work I have given up un the E3/E4 or T30 as a easy to carry camera. The hard truth is that you still need a bag to carry these cameras and when I have to bring a bag I can simply bring one of the Ts. But a small 1" camera like the 5GX will fit in the pocket, it has zoom, it has a fast lens and I guess the ISO will be usable up to 1600/3200 which is good enough for everyday carry.
Great duel!! there is something special about ricoh, #11 for the win!
I'm surprised with the lumix, excellent photos too.
Very interesting! I love my Lumix, and wouldn't consider the other three for various reasons.
This photo duel was defiantly different and interesting in a good way. My picks for this video are #2, #3, #12, #13, #15, #18, #22
I can’t choose just one. Here are the ones I like: 3, 9, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23 and 28. Great job!
So many good shots but #2, #5 & #12 for me. I just picked up the X70 used and despite a few quirks I still love it for documenting kids and everyday life.
Ooooh, tough call on picking just the one favourite... I'm going to go with #9, even though I really did like the colours (especially the monochrome!) from the Lumix.
Lots of great shots. #12 was my fav.
Very interested to know your thoughts about the GRIII. Any chance you'd review it?
I'll do a comparison, but probably not a dedicated review at this stage.
Man this is a tough one! #20....I was really hoping one of you would shoot the Sony. Just bought that camera and received it today so i'm interested in your thoughts on it. Great video as always.
I like Denae's #20 with the Panasonic LX100 with your son in the air with goggles in monochrome. Seems as if most of the Panasonics were shot at the wide 24mm end maybe wide-open aperture. Wide at 24mm and even wider is my preferred style and the distortion even adds to the effect.
There are terrific older versions of these cameras available used for a $100 or less. I have the Panasonic LX3 (from 2010?) at 10 MP, 24-60mm lens, f2.0 with an optical viewfinder, a classic. The old Ricoh GX100 has beautiful, rich colors from these older CCD sensors with 24-72mm lens and does great macros, often available with a tiltable EVF for $100. Also the Ricoh GR 8 MP from 2008 with a fixed 28mm lens does classic monochrome. It's a little slow in that RAW files take about 15 seconds to write but the JPEG B&W are gorgeous and will take an optical viewfinder. The Canon G11 and the rangefinder-style Fujifilm X10 have built-in optical viewfinders. Grabbed a well-used original Sony RX100 for a little over a $100. That era of compacts were advanced and now available for a song.
All the photo's were lovely. The Ricoh's Monochrome photos had the edge in my opinion. The micro contrast was superb. The Lumix did color really well. I'm interested to know if you shot JPEG or RAW? Either way, the Ricoh does have that timeless documentary style aesthetic that people really love. The Lumix had surprised me on how good the images were but for a take everywhere camera I would find it super annoying due to the bulk, it's not really a compact camera. No tilt screen on the Ricoh, it's designed to take photos of moments immediately, a tilt would get in the way and slow you down.
Thanks for your video. I think that Gr sharpness is much better than others, but Danae's eye far exceeds. She took great pictures.
Great photos all of them. Many which makes one think that these are still relevant in the smartphone era. Also I felt it did not matter much which camera was used. So choice of camera is more driven by the shooting experience than the end product.
Hi Neerav. It's been awhile since I saw you in the comments and I just wondered how you are doing. It's strange times so I thought I'd check on some of our most long-time friends of the channel. Hope you are well, my friend. //A
@@AndrewGoodCamera Hi Andrew!!! thanks a lot for checking. I have been enjoying your videos. I am loving all of your content. We are in severe lockdown in India where we cannot even go out for walks. Social distancing is not even possible in a dense country like us so effort is to contain the spread. We are in a small apartment with kids and trying to make best of it. Kids have been blessing lifting us up with their joy. I am enjoying taking out my camera especially every evening when I get some great light. I have been posting some pictures on my instagram (@neeravnaik)
Wow I am surprised how much better the Ricoh pics are, they blow the Lumix out of the water. The canon seems hit or miss, some of the shots looked great and then another would come up and make me go, "huh, maybe not". Ricoh seems consistently great.
Fixed lens versus zoom is not fair. It is why many people like me use primes on my mFT camera's.
Cool duel! My favourite is number 20, and second number 9.
Danae's just on fire!! I feel for you fella... 😂😂😂
I shoot Fuji and love them. So I find the X100F and X-T10 (20 or 30) as portable as the cameras you used. The only pocketable one was the GR III. And although I didn't have a favorite, I liked the images from the GR III. Fun video. I enjoyed it. I do own a Canon S90 that is very pocketable and produces some nice images, and can be shot completely manual.
For me is #2 and #20. Great video, as usual.
The B/W of the Ricoh is a class apart, so glad to picked it. Favourite picture is #25 though
I think #15 takes it for me. That's the face we all make when faced with an impossible decision. I actually laughed out loud when I saw that one.
😆
such an original content ! Thanks.
#3 and #12 for me, guys. Good work by both of you though!
My vote goes to #20 this round. Great images!
Love them and so difficult to pick.. Maybe 3, 5, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20. PS. The cat is adorable!
I wish you guys would have done in depth reviews of the GR3 and LX100ii. I’ve always been curious about the original LX100, but heard the EVF was kind of poor being one of those “field sequential” LCD’s, which have a rainbow effect. I’m not clear if they fixed that in the LX100ii.
I had sold my Fuji X70 a while back (~2 years) and have been waiting for an X70S. It seems it will never come, so I finally decided to give the Ricoh GR3 despite its serious shortcomings. What I have learned owning it, is while it does have serious shortcomings with the really poor battery life and UNUSABLE video, it is a very capable stills camera. I actually find the Positive Film profile to be very comparable to Fuji’s lovely Classic Chrome. In some ways I prefer the Positive Film, and in other ways I prefer Classic Chrome. In either case its a beautiful look and I really enjoy how I can take shots at low ISO’s in low light due to the IBIS and wider lens. I can get sharp pics at 1/5th of a second all day long. I can go even slower with good handholding techniques. 1 second exposures aren’t consistently possibly, but 1/2 second is doable. I also always love a prime lens as it helps me focus on composition.
Ricoh GR ftw!
Although I love the Lumix too. I still have the GR II, actually. Great value second hand these days. It's the one camera I always carry with me.
My favourite shots are #8 and #10.
Yas, Ricoh gr iii all the way. Mattias Burling take great photos with it.
12, 20, 23. I've had LX100 for couple of years but then I realised I cannot live without interchangable lens system :-) And then I also realised that Sony aps-c with 16-50 kit is almost as small as LX100 and it is better to have just one system, one color science, one card to download from etc.
#3 for me, fun duel...
All the shots are great, but 3 and 15 liked more than the rest :)
There’s 13 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Which one was the winner?
This time for me it's pretty hard to decide. Think I love the candid moment of #22. Although there is something about #5 I really like. In any case Danae wins for me.
I much prefer these photo duel/ reviews. Much better quality of life comparison.
First I liked 12 the best but something about the lighting in 23 is really cool. Great expression too XD
#23 is a pure shot 🙏
Suggest you add the Fuji XF10 to your test group. You have a nice "vertical" comparison (i.e., size vs zoom/EVF), but the Fuji would be a good "horizontal" comparison for the Ricoh (i.e., same sensor size, half the price, street features compared - snap focus, color comparison, ergos, etc.).
Love when Denae comes up the winner! But it will be Sooooo hard to choose between candids of your kids!
I considered it, but it's just a bit too much on the "budget" side. I feel like that camera was a miss for Fuji. //A
@@AndrewGoodCamera the image quality is surprisingly ok considering how little u can get the camera for
Nice review. For the size and image quality, I’ll take the Ricoh GRiii.
The IQ seems to be significantly better out of the GR III. Shame it has no EVF. I used to have a Nikon Coolpix A (terrible name I know!) which is a similar type of camera to the Ricoh and it produced beautiful images but I ended up selling it due to frustration with it not having a viewfinder.
Agreed. Wish it had an EVF
2 for me. Great video
I am missing the part where you tell me what to think.
Nice video.
Ricoh GR III such an interesting pocket camera!
Everything is in scenery - of course, the one you see, the way you see it. You guys equalized the cameras. IMO, there are two types of camera for documentary missions. One is the discreet one, useful in a kinda dangerous environment (these days I think is less tempting for a thief than an expensive phone - with a point&shoot you can't make calls), the other one is the best practical camera for you,.
Anyway, you missed the best one, olympus pen f, viewfinder, flip screen, with 25mm lens or 17mm lens (1.7 apertures). Excellent B&W filters, great slide film filter. Use it for a week or two and then you can compare it with X-PRO3.
So many great images in this one. Can I call it a draw please???
Great shots ... results show that camera is least important thing.
Well, that's not quite accurate. You aren't seeing the missed shots due to an inferior camera. A camera definitely matters when it comes to getting the shot.
I think I like the contrast and dynamic range on griii.
photo 10 of the dog.... Dog guy here.
1, 2, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 27 Best are #2, #18 and #20 ❤️ (8 and 17 are the same).
#18. I so much miss my LX100 which I drowned in a petting pool at the aquarium. I carried it around whenever in interesting places or with good people.
😥
interesting stuff guys, I own the GR3 but like you, find it a pain to use without a viewfinder so Im going to replace it with either the 16mm 2.8 for my Xpro 2 or another compact, possibly the Canon you guys are using here. Great timing for me! pic 20 gets my vote!
Did you try using the external viewfinder? Did that help you like it more at all?
@@AndrewGoodCamera No, its quite expensive for what it is. £200 and I don't think it shows any shooting info, just framelines
@@eggyjones Ah bummer. And good to know. Thanks for your reply.
@@AndrewGoodCamera thank you for your work
david jones - I’m looking to sell my Fuji 16mm 1.4 and get the GR3!!! :- )
Surprising to me I like the Canon shots the best. Colors and tones are great
Overall Denae took better photos of the kids. Which one of her photos was best is hard to say. I really couldn't decide which of her photos was best just that as a group they are better than Andrew's. Sorry Andrew.
Number3 was nice shot
#28 is my favorite
Think overall the GRIII shots, especially B&W, had more punch. LX100 B&W looked flat, almost muddy but colour images better. Canon was somewhere in the middle for both styles. Love my Canon G7X MkII!
Photos #15 and #20 :)
Yes any of those are better than a cell phone by a wide margin
One of your funniest videos! (Skipped it till now). A: And the aperture..., and this is the biggest sensor... and is larger... and the viewfinder...and.. D: ... hmm, hmm...okay..., hmm.
I'm gonna go for #11
#20 but sooo hard to choose!!
I vote for #13. Thanks.
#5 & #28, can't decide, sorry 😅
#’s 4, 22, & 24
#2 it is for me.
#20 Denae again for win. That Ricoh sure is nice though.
For me #15 🙂
#23, next #3 and #2
Griii for me.. Frankly couldn't afford so got a xf10 ( used) year ago for me.. Cme back here as my friend is selling her lumix at bargain price.. I guess I'll giv it pass.. Its chunkier with no major advantages.. Lovely vid guys
#3 (and then #25)
Just goes to show brands really don't matter. You're going to get great results with basically any camera!
What matters more (and what isn't shown here) is how many misses you get due to a particular cameras incompetence. It does matter if you don't get the shot :)
Denae & Andrew ooh yeah. That’s a clever way of thinking about it.
I vote #20!
The LUMIX is awesome!!!
Not sure why CZcams has suggested this video now in the future but hey why not
No 16 for me
