    Does your philosphy affect your choice of gear?

    definitely. I love minimalism in all my passion and maybe reason why i love my ricoh GRD 3 so much, i just wiah theres a biiger sensor in the body. X100 fits my philosphy well but a bit too big to bring out with me everyday.

    Best Compact for Macro

    I like what i get from my GRD III, one reason I love using compact cameras is they have versatile lens, wide aperture + macro focus + zoom all in one package. makes it very convenient if you want to travel light

    Fuji It keeps on calling my name ...

    hahaha perhaps i should just stay out of this thread.. i will need some good meditating session control the urge if Fuji has really fixed the sticky blade issue. I really love the black one!

    Micro 4/3 Pany GX1 video review

    i really like how you can push the flash up for bounce flash,, flash is gonna be weak but better than nothing when you're desperate and the lens seem really sharp! :eek:

    Canon Canon G1X Imminent?

    nikon 1 sensor size is 1" (2.7x crop factor) which is better than x10 with 3/2 (1 /1.5"). if my maths serves me right, 1.5" will sit between m4/3 (1.35"??) and apsc (1.8") i got the size in inch figure according to crop factor but i could be completely wrong lol.

    Canon Canon G1X Imminent?

    a lot of ppl on the internet says that but why can't there be a 1.5"?? I dont know much about sensor technology.

    Canon Canon G1X Imminent?

    sounds good to me. 1.5" sensor sits between APS-C and M4/3. Depending on the Lens (we only know f2.5 at 28mm so far), it could be a pretty cool camera. $800 for a fixed lens camera with big sensor is not bad considering X100 is around $1200 and G1X gives you versatility of a zoom lens...

    Fuji Inconsistent Aperture

    so has there been any official announcement that this design problem has been addressed?? or is fuji simply replacing faulty lens with the same old design that will eventually fail?? imeagerly waiting for a proper cure (rather than a bandage solution).

    New most expensive photograph record :)

    I agree with you and a few previous posters in this thread. I don't believe quality of an art piece could be measured with a price. The price of an art piece only depicts its value in the business world and not in the art world. The moment an art piece has a price tag put on, it becomes...

    Fuji One of the best little reasons to own at least one Fuji camera

    Thanks, in here I think some shops have demo which you can use for 'testdriving' but it is not nearly as good to make a decision based on playing with a unfamiilar camera in such a short testing timeframe. :)

    Fuji One of the best little reasons to own at least one Fuji camera

    hey just curious what is this return window thing? you have mentioned a few times that you can return your camera if you dont like it. does it mean the shop will be selling that camera as used later, do you have to pay the shop for compensation? in australia, we cant generally exchange goods if...

    New most expensive photograph record :)

    :) thanks for comment. I would say I am quite neutral when it comes to 'what is worth what'. as I fully understand the concept that 'if someone is willing to pay for a product for $X, the product is worth $X'. this goes to every single product in our market-driven economy. It is true that a...

    Ricoh GRD IV Sample Images

    GRD IV samples do look very impressive, :D maybe i should've waited for it instead of getting the III haha it now gives me more reason to get the GV-2 viewfinder as I think I will get the GRD IV when my III dies later. I am so loving the GRDs!

    Ricoh GRD III shutter lag in manual vs snap focus + few question about RAW

    @Streetshooter, no, I am asking purely out of curiosity :), I actually find the GRD to be very fast even in spot AF mode (center focus). The 'Snap focus' has been talked about a lot so I was wondering if this can be 'imitated' with another camera by using Full manual exposure + Manual focus set...

    Ricoh GRD III shutter lag in manual vs snap focus + few question about RAW

    So i will take it as the snap focus will still have a shorter shuttler lag than taking a photo in full manual + manual focus mode?? :confused:

    Ricoh GRD III shutter lag in manual vs snap focus + few question about RAW

    Hi everyone, just got a couple of questions after playing with the GRD III for a few days :). If i set focus mode to manual and focus distance to 2.5m for example, will i get the same shutter lag time as setting the camera to snap focus with focus distance at 2.5? I did some testing and it...

    Fuji Fuji X10 Full page ad in current issue of Backpacker Magazine

    Does anyone know how good the VF would b? i think that is a big factor to choose this rather than other with no vf at all (smaller).

    Any experience? S95 vs GRD iii

    I had a S90 and just got a GRD III. as similar as they are in term of size and pricing, I feel they are quite different cameras. Although there may be minimal difference in IQ imo, their targetted audience is very different. GRD III imo is more suitable people who value controls and usability...

    good day from sydey

    OI OI OI!! :) s90 was definitely a great camera, i like it so much I actually convinced 2 friends + my brother to purchase s95. :) In fact it is better than the GRD III in some aspect. (not saying I'm regretting my purchase :P) THanks for the step by step guide, very informative and...

    good day from sydey

    thanks for the replies :) @Streetshooter, could you please give more details?? I have been googling around and it seems this is a common problem for GRDs and I can't really be sending my camera back for warranty every 2nd month :D hahaha. So if there's a way to fix it myself it would be great...
