    Samsung Samsung NX-20 goes to the (street) Zoo !!

    Great photos! How are the Jpegs from the NX20? Why do you prefer using the LCD rather than EVF?

    Samsung NX20 Shooters

    Thanks! That's really interesting. I guess making the optics is mostly about hiring the best engineers, installing the best grinding equipment and QC.

    Samsung NX20 Shooters

    I'm very seriously considering purchasing an NX20. It seems to have everything I want in a relatively compact, relatively lightweight body & EVF. I also like the fact that Samsung makes its own sensor (though I wonder who is supplying the apparently very good lenses). Can any NX20 shooters tell...

    Ricoh Returning my "new" GRD IV....

    I agree, but it is quite frustrating nevertheless. B&H reopens Wednesday morning so I will take it up with them then. I've dealt with B&H before and they are always very accomodating, but that doesn't change the fact that they seem to have sold me a camera that someone test drove for a while...

    Very true, but some retailer honesty would be nice as well.

    Ricoh Returning my "new" GRD IV....

    If B&H can't assure me that they will send me a replacement that is brand new/factory new, then I'm just going to get a refund and take my business elsewhere.

    Ricoh Returning my "new" GRD IV....

    I don't know what the solution is, if any, but this all begs one question that I suppose would be answered differently by different people: When is a camera no longer new merchandise? It seems to me that once a buyer takes physical delivery of the camera, it's no longer new and shouldn't be...

    Thanks! 2500 shots...sold as new.....that's just incredible! Good move going down there in person!

    Ricoh Returning my "new" GRD IV....

    Thanks Luke! What you say is so true...the abuse is ridiculous and rampant. And with the small, local retailers having been all but squeezed out and those that remain carrying mostly higher volume Nikon and Canon stuff, rarely Ricoh or Pentax. Right now, if you want a new GRD IV there is only...

    Ricoh Returning my "new" GRD IV....

    I purchased a new GRD IV and GV-2 viewfinder from an authorized Ricoh US retailer with whom I've always had positive experiences with. The GRD IV arrived today. As I unpacked the camera it was rather obvious to me that the camera body, battery and charger had been repacked at least once before...

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Kristen - where did you purchase your GRD IV? Was there any reason other than lack of zoom that caused you to return it? Thanks!

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Can you manual focus the GRD IV? If yes, how?

    Samsung Ex2f

    How do you find the zoom control? Is it smooth?

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Thanks alot Ray, I really appreciate your advice. This is the thing with the GRD IV...I'd likely be fine with the 28mm fixed. Your quote about the GRD IV is similar to what most GRD shooters say. The thing is it seems that there is this feeling, which perhaps I'm misinterpreting, that the IQ...

    Samsung Ex2f

    Thanks! Do you find the zoom to be of a useful range or do you really get the most use wide?

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Thanks Chuck! If I understand you correctly, it sounds like the GRD is your everyday, always with you camera and the X-10 comes out when you know you will need the zoom? How would you compare the IQ of the GR lens/CCD setup in the GRD to the Fujinon lens/EXR set up in the X-10? Also, has...

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Thanks for your response Ray! Well, as I'm sure you can tell I'm really trying to figure out which compact is right for me. Truthfully, I hadn't even heard of the GRD until a few weeks ago and I'm pretty amazed at what I've read about it. Fact is, I prefer to shoot (or convert) to B&W and on...

    Samsung Ex2f

    I've just sold my Pentax K-5 along with my FA Primes. I really want to move into a serious compact that I can take with me everywhere, has full manual controls and has the kind of IQ that one would expect from a serious compact. No touch screen and video is not important. I'm trying to decide...

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Any GRD IV shooters have any opinion (seriously) about the Samsung EX2F? The more I research the more it seems that I will go with either the GRD IV or the EX2F. The EX2F thankfully lacks a touch screen and seems to have a good setup for manual control (though not as good as the GRD IV). I am...

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Would anyone be unhappy to see a major change to the GRD IV, for example, if the GRD V, if any and whenever it may arrive, does include the 1" Sony sensor, or a relatively fast zoom, or a longer focal length GR prime? Do you see any potential downsides if one or more of these changes were to...

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    It seems that most do not use the OVF on their GRD. Can someone explain why someone would use an OVF on the GRD? I mean, no exposure information is displayed in the OVF, it does not show whether your subject is in focus (I think Snap will work around this) and it does not fully frame the...

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Can anyone discuss their experience using an OVF with their GRD please? Which OVF do you use and why did you choose it? Also, what is your composition technique when using an OVF with your GRD particularly with regard to exposure settings since I believe the OVF does not display your exposure...

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Thanks Ray! Why do you prefer 3:2 and why do you think Ricoh designed the GRD with 3:4 as native?

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Wow! That's strong stuff! Yes, you never know and accordingly never know what might come in handy! Well, I'm just sitting tight until Photokina to see if there is a grd V before making a purchase.

    Yes, I would say those awesome shots help quite a bit indeed! How much, if any PP? Thanks!

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Sounds like we had virtually the same Pentax set up. So you prefer the GRD over the GXR. What sort ofof subjects do you generally shoot? Do you think the GRD is flexible enough to shoot various subjects in addition to street work? Thanks!

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Thanks! What do you shoot with your GRD IV? I'm wondering about its versatility in addition to being a great street shooter.

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    Thanks for your advice! I guess I'm not really looking to "replace" my DSLR, I'm really looking for a different experience. I don't have any legacy glass that I could use with the A12 M mount so that module would not justify choosing the GXR. The more I read, the more it seems that the real...

    Ricoh Advice: GXR or GRD

    I'm a soon to be former Pentax K-5 shooter intending to become a Rich shooter after Photokina 2012. Yes, the K-5 is a great DSLR but it's size, weight (body and FA primes), etc., is all "getting in the way" of the more traditional, less complicated, purer, if you will, experience that I'm...
