  • I'm a huge Ricoh GR2 fan. So the Ricoh GR3 really needed to deliver in order to get me to upgrade. It took a week or so to adjust to all the changes. Now I could not see myself without it. I keep it with me at all times.
    Like all cameras it has its negatives and the question is, as always, if they outweigh the positives? For me they aren’t even close.

    As always, your expertise exceeds previous presentations. Simplicity, great pacing, and dynamic photos capture the viewer. Most presenters will smash on the negatives of a product, but you gently graced over them and yet not ignored them. It is the image that we want to reveal at the end anyway. A great pleasure to watch.

    Wow, this camera is amazing, and you've taken some really lovely pics with it. (The shots of your doggie never get old! Such an expressive face.) You've given me lots of food for thought. Thanks for explaining the highlighted weighted metering (wow!), preset manual method of setting focus, and your external flash setup.

    Great review. I think I am going to have to watch it a couple more times to absorb all the information. I sold my GRII because I really needed a viewfinder and I didn’t like the UI. Hmmm - after this am I going to go back to Ricoh? Tempting.

  • @Poverello2001
    @Poverello2001 Před 5 lety +11

    As always, a great review. I love these pocketable APSC cameras. They are very versatile and their small size allows me to take them with me everywhere I go. I have a Fuji X70 which has even a workhorse for me, but if it died, I’d consider the GRIii as a replacement. My only objection is marketing. The small powerhouses are often marketed for street photography, but my experience is that they are a good all around family and vacation camera, too!

  • @christosnitsos4040
    @christosnitsos4040 Před 5 lety +6

    Great review of a great camera. Really wished for an articulating screen on the Grlll. I really miss this feature so often with my GrII. Still impressive work Ricoh is doing with the series. A 23mm lens version would also be very interesting.

  • @waterfordrs22
    @waterfordrs22 Před 5 lety +1

    Excellent review. You understand how these cameras have been designed to be worked. I’ve got a GXR, it’s a great camera. I’ve been waiting for this update of the GR with great anticipation.
    I wouldn’t suggest the GR is for everyone, but if after consideration it seems to be on your wavelength, take a day to learn it, they are such well thought out cameras. Nothing like them in my opinion.

    Mattias, a great review of the GR3 - just bought the camera and agree with nearly everything you say. The GR3 goes everywhere and encourages you to take images like no other camera. With a Fuji 100F, part of literally the dynamic duo of compacts - in fact one could get by with just those 2 cameras and nothing else.

    @steenhillebrecht Před 5 lety +1

    Hej Mathias
    Again a nice review! Your first GRiii review made me buy it and I absolutely love it although I have lost the exchangeable lens ring without knowing how it happened.
    Two additionel remarks to your review:
    Battery life: I just spend a week in Lisbon with the camera. I experienced the short battery life time but hadn't the nerve to see how long it lasted. Intead I brought my power bank and charged the camera during lunch or coffee breaks. Once a day was enough.
    Build quality:
    I find the camera a bit vulnerable around the lens. I use a small bolstered bag. Those leafs protecting the shutter will not stand hard blows which cold appear in a free hanging jacket pocket.
    But it is a beautiful camera. I had the Nikon A before which I also loved - so much!

    The fact that Pentax can stabilize that little sucker makes the statements from Fuji that they cannot bring stabilization to the X-T series, because they are so small, very confusing to me. :) Great review, as always, Mattias!

    • @AndrewSowerby
      @AndrewSowerby Před 5 lety +1

      What Pentax / Ricoh, Olympus and Minolta could do for so many years hasn't proved to be so easy for other camera manufacturers. Sony solved that issue by acquiring Minolta, but many other manufacturers haven't been really been up to the task so far. Every digital camera I've ever paid money for has had it, and I consider it absolutely essential. This is the reason I would never even consider the XT-3, but would take a long hard look at the X-H1.

    • @gearreallydoesntmatter
      @gearreallydoesntmatter  Před 5 lety +3

      If they added 4K as well it would probably over heat doing it. Fuji has taken the video road and will have to stay on it for now. But man, imagine a stills oriented XE3 or Xpro2. Like their version of the Nikon DF.

    Great review! I’m a GRi owner with a GRiii on order. Glad to see that your review justified my choice and put the negative comments on other reviews in context. I always carry an extra battery anyway; they’re tiny. I thought that I’d miss some functionality with the GRiii like the Fn2 button, but maybe the touch screen can make up for it.

  • @KentuckyMan30
    @KentuckyMan30 Před 5 lety +1

    So many things to comment on! First off, lovely images as always! If I've learned one thing from all of your videos, it's that no matter what camera you're using, you still retain your style and can capture great photos! I really liked the one at 0:30.
    Second: The highlight weighted metering sounds awesome! I believe that if I had that capability on my Fuji cameras, I would shoot more in aperture priority.
    Third: I spy some Kentucky Bourbon! Nice touch. ;)
    Lastly, that Q trigger and flash looks so cool! Perfect combo for a "pocket" camera.

      **I pre-ordered the GRIII because I simply trust this line (after using so many) and was not let down, yet again. With the recent firmware update it shoots in lowlight as good as the older CCD versions. And a truck-load of improvements to boot. I couldn't be happier with this little monster.

    After watching your GR3 camera review and 6 month review many times, I’ve finally started my application to rent one for 6 month! I’m still indecisive between gr3 and x100v, but I think I’ll make more use out of gr3 because it’s more portable and pocketable.

    Great review, with Samuel Streetlife's, probably the best I’ve seen for this camera.

    I must have watched this video 100+ times easily ! I really want this camera, but waiting for the price to drop a little more....all I can do for now is live vicariously through Mattias lol !

    Great review as always. Can't wait for more. Also maybe could you do video on the canon 7d mk1.
