    My first camera. I loved it and got some nice pictures. Today it often seems more about the latest gear. I recently posted a few of those older pictures on Flickr. But yes, sometimes some older pictures need some new programs to reduce the noise and for better sharpening. Unfortunately, but the WB was not very accurate anymore compared with my smartphone so I stopped using it.

    Thank you for the content, i have seen of my phone so i am not really shurw about what i see but the ricog looks to have more gamma on yhe highlight and as well in the shadows to me, Why am I seeing this video? I have decided to test my self challenging me with shopting at least 1 photo a day for the last 30 days and so far this thing is keeping on running, is almost 2 months that I am doing it. I normally carry almost everywhere my sony a6600 but that is the problem, almost. I cannot carry it to work or from work to home. Or whetever. There fore i have gone back to a 8 year old canon g7x II, it is in my personal point of view brilliant, it alows me to carry her in my pockets of my jeans. I do not need a bag, among the 2 camera that you ate showing now here in this video (p.s. I have seen a lot of tour other videos as well) are both the ricoh gr iii or eventually the gr iii with 40mm and the sony 24-200 mm able to fitvthe pockets of my jeans like my g7x mark ii or they need the pockets of a jacket? How stiff is the protecting sistem thst open and xloses over the lens on both of them? On my g7x mark ii an the previous s110 i think, both or them after few months had issues with that protection and did'nt close or open completely so before shooting if i fon't wantvto see an annoying part unvlosed on one corner I have to force the opening before shooting on my canon g7x mark ii. I love the tilt screen as well on my canon and the nd built in filter. Iblove as well that before switching on the screen on my canon i can choose from a ring the mode in whichvi will choose and also +-3 compensate before viewing the digital screen. Whichvof theese 2 or other caeras will you suggest to me for this specific kind of needs. To give you an idea on my website i have the photos that I shoot with my a6600 an the ones of thec30 days photo challanfe with my canon 1 inch, sp you can better help me l, please to choose. At some point my canon will die, maybe in other 8 years. One only veeeeery annoing and frustrating part of my canon is the old focus normt so much trustable in some scenarios as low light, speed tracking subjects, very near subjects. And with string direct glare illumination. I am open also about orher cameras, thank you agsin, p.s. I lived in uk one yesr and I liked it but like in milano or in switzerland many days can be rainy or foggy. Are one of these 2 or others inluding the last leica 4/3 water ceiled? Thanks mate.📷📷, max, I've almost forgot to tell ypu my website 😅 maxgioviale.com

    Image quality has been enough for 10 years. It all depends now how it feels to use cameras. I have R50 with 24mm 1.8 IS and it sits on my camera 90% of the time and then I change to tele lens. It's all about what you love to do and happy with. R50 has everything I need and small travel size and 24mm 1.8 here in dark north with IS does the thing. I have learned my lesson in 25 years. Transforming from nerd to artist with cameras. Like your reviews telling the real things.

    I'd agree, use a proper camera. I don't always intend to take photos and can be forced to use my phone, as clunky as it is to handle. STILL , thanks for this video as I was unaware of these devices. I can't use this model even though is states it works with all phones. Not my Motorola Z4. I have multiple accessories that connect to the back and the ring magnet would block those. I did order another brand that connects with a clamp. It also has a fill light! SO, AS LONG AS I CAN LEAVE IT ON THE PHONE ALL THE TIME, it should help!

  • @starbase218
    @starbase218 21 день тому

    I find myself curious about this. I have a Sony RX100 V but I don't love it. It's a technical marvel but I always have to think about how to use it. I have an underwater housing for it though, as I like scuba diving. I got a GoPro 11 now as well, for underwater use as well, but I'm not sure I like it either. It's very good for video, but not so great for photo, and the sensor is quite small. I think I want a compact camera that can do both, to take on trips, besides my Nikon D750. And there has to be an underwater housing for it. The GM1 does tick a few of those boxes, as even Amazon has an underwater housing for it. But I wonder how good the video is. And I wonder if I'll like it better than my Sony. So I'm not yet sure. Also because it has no viewfinder. I could go for the GM5, but I can't find a small underwater housing for that. Another option would be a Nikon 1 camera. They're cheaper, but the sensor is smaller, to the point where my RX100 should have better image quality than a Nikon 1 with the kit lens. But I can use my Nikon DSLR lenses with it, via an adapter, which may be interesting for wildlife. Nikon has an underwater housing for the J4 as well, though the J5 or V3 would be my preferred model. Unfortunately, the AW1 can only go 15 meters underwater, which is something, but not always enough.

    I love my GX80. I always pick it over my Sony a6100 when I want to take photos out and about, as it's more fun to use, easier to use, is more discrete being more compact with a compact prime like the 20mm. And I love the way it looks and hearing the shutter sound. I just wish they would bring out a GX10!
