I'm happy with another GR III version (since my initials are GR III), but this is unbelievable

HDF for my is a good adition but I hope the new GR 4 is coming soon with big and more features (better battery and autofocus for example please).

What does the camera capture if Raw & J Peg are selected?

One of the great things about my GR3 is how crisp the lens is. I can just screw on a HDF filter, so this really isn't an upgrade, right? I kind of wish they'd put off the film project and put out a weather-sealed, improved GR4.

There's no denying that Sam is smiling about it too. I don’t see any advantage for myself adding this new model to my line up. Although I like the new AF option that is coming with the software update. Personally I prefer the sharper image and and the post processing for soften the image Highlights is really not a big deal …even if it’s not the same as like a physical filter. Why not inventing a thread or magnet Ring to stick on to the lens (like the JJC UV filter) with different filter options if you want to keep your camera pocketable. Otherwise using the standard adapter with the option of having different filters like an pol or black mist. I’m just looking for excuses not to buy a new camera🙃 Let’s us all celebrate the beauty in the mundane.🎉

I do like the idea of more ways to recreate a film-like experience on digital but not sure if this is the specific upgrade/expansion model I'd be looking for. Hopefully this won't be the only Ricoh news in the near future though.

It can be turned on and off. So it is replacing the ND filter with a diffusion filter. That's interesting. At least it's not a permanent effect. This is fine. I don't want one, but it's a cool idea. I like how they reimagine existing elements of the GRIII. I love that about Ricoh. 👑

@-grey

3 ай бұрын

A detachable compact hotshoe flash unit and EVF would be nice accessories to have too. A new way to use our GRIII. 😎

Can the HDF feature be turned off? Or is it fixed/on always? If it can be turned off, would the pictures taken with GRIIIxHDF with HDF feature turned off be identical to those taken with GRIIIx? I want to understand if the HDF feature causes the camera (GRIIIxHDF) to produce lower quality images even when the feature is turned off, compared to the camera variant that does not have the HDF feature in first place (i.e., GRIIIx).

Previously: To get soft effects, buy a diffusion lens filter... Now: Buy a filter, along with the camera.

I think it’s a great idea to provide a hardware solution for the digital problem of sharp highlights blow out. However, what GR really needs, in my opinion, is (in that order): bigger battery (don’t care if the body gets slightly bigger), better dust resistance, and also perhaps improvement in the durability of the ribbon electrical cable that moves with the retractable lens (I had mine failing on the original GR, and the repairing technician told me it was fairly common; I don’t know if that was fixed in later models). Also, a return of the built in flash would be welcome.

@gpagnoni

3 ай бұрын

2-3 mm added to the grip makes absolutely no difference in terms of portability. In the other hand, a battery that lasts only 200 shoots is not quite acceptable today. That means that if you go out for a day of shooting you probably have to carry at least three batteries (and make sure you recharge them at night). Sometimes that may be difficult when traveling, which is one of the target use of this camera.

Great looking compact cameras and features! It would be amazing if you actually choose the intensity of the diffusion say between 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 diffusion, that would be game changing. Because in the sample shots the diffusion looks very strong and for some situations you might only want a subtle glow rather than a huge bloom of the highlights.

Well damn lol I bought a filter hood with a pro-mist filter for mine but THIS would be so much more convenient.

Believe me, it's not! why buy a new camera when a $10 filter can fix it!

I was actually expecting a bigger update, given the length of the video. But then they just stretched the video because of one HDF filter, well, a new shutter button and a couple of new camera functions that will appear on the base models. On the other hand, the update, although quite minor, is good for me. But maybe it makes sense to wait until the fourth version, who knows.

Thank you for covering these new GR variants! I, for one, am very excited to get one!

Assuming this isn't an overly early april fools thing as some have speculated, I'm not interested in this specific thing, but putting more kinds of filters in a camera body is neat. Personally, I would love to see a toggleable IR filter in a camera. However, I know that wouldn't be practical on the GRIII as it has an infrared emitting LED in the body for some reason which makes IR a nonstarter above ISO 100. (I have an IR-converted GRIII; I'm probably not the only person who does, but I'm guessing there aren't many of us.)

That's pretty cool. But I don't understand why people/companies continue doing this in hardware when you can emulate it perfectly (?) in software? Then you also have the option to undo the effect.

Good idea! Somehow exactly what I was missing - But keeping the ND and adding a filter thread to the lens would bring way more flexibility. What if one wants less diffusion?
