Thank you for such a comprehensive and sensible review. I really like the idea of this camera, but no weather sealing, viewfinder or flip screen make it, possibly, too expensive? I very much value all 3 of those features. I could make do with a generic viewfinder for the hot shoe, but no waist-level shooting or damp weather shooting is pretty hard to swallow. The UK can be very humid in summer too...Anyway, thanks again for the review and some lovely photos!

I have good news for you. Two ways to solve the monitor and finder problem when the monitor is not completely closed and you want to take portrait photos. First you choose a custom button that is comfortable for you (I use the C4) and as a function you assign it to change to finder or change to monitor (it doesn't matter) second, if you want the change to be permanent you go to the monitor function and change it front Auto to manual, if you want a more intelligent variant you leave it in auto. What will happen is that even if the monitor is not perfectly closed or in some open position, when you press the assigned button the image will change to the finder allowing you to take the portrait photo without delay, then when you stop using the finder the auto function returns to have priority and the image will go to the monitor without you doing anything.

Such a great review! Some years ago i believe 2019 i bought a Leica Dlux 4 (same as LX3) in a second hand store for 25 bucks in very good condition. It was a breakthrough in my photography in many ways. Sometimes it can take better photos than my Canon 6D and Sony A6000. It´s hard to discribe but i think you nailed it. I recently bought another Dlux 4 in brand new condition just to have a backup if my first somehow dies.

Compressed RAW will save you a TON of space just FYI, there's no literal difference between the two. Yo ucan consider compressed raw as a half processed, half baked process BUT you still have absolute tons of room to edit ad adjust. I Have the A7R ii and it's great for both modes and I recently started using compressed raws and I'm a dark, blacks almost fully dropped moody type shooter with occasional high key and neither side shoes signs of breaking when I edit. Plus you get like triple the buffer rate. Give it a try! Hybrid shooting.. all cameras have to process files before you can switch modes so don't blame the camera. That's just threading purposes can't blame em. Imagine being in the middle of processing files and your boss pulls your files away and throws a pile of something else, you loose your place lol
@AlexKimPhoto27 күн бұрын
Thank you for this information! I saw from other photography youtube that compressed raw is just as good as uncompressed raw, but it was hard for me to take a leap of faith because I’ve been shooting uncompressed for 3 years and i like to shoot in darker situations. But hearing from your user experience convinced me. Wow, faster buffer rate from compressed raw is something that never crossed my mind! This absolutely convinced me to use compressed raw. Thank you. Yes i thought that switching modes while processing was the norm for all cameras haha but now with the faster buffer rate, it would matter less. Thank you so much for the comment and watching my video! Hope you have a great start to your week!

@@AlexKimPhoto I was the same exact way for as long as I've been shooting raws, at first i needed the buffer rate for sports so i switched to jpegs but i didn't like what I was stuck with when i wanted to edit.

Haven't switched back since UNLESS I'm doing a high paid shoot where it's more still semi moving not so much bursting but otherwise, compressed raws for me! Glad i can help man yea give it a real street photography try when you get out again... nothing but compressed. Do a buffer test too right now, it will burst to no end LOL.

I used to have the Fuji XF10 as my pocket cam for a few years but never quite liked it. So I sold it. I was looking for a replacement when I found the LX3 for a bargain in the local used market and decided to give it a go. I’ve been shooting with it since. It has a surprisingly good set of features and I really like the overall handling of it. Btw you can enable the lens focal length memory from the settings so you don’t have to start from 24mm every time. It’s the third page on the wrench menu, Lens Resume. It will remember both the zoom and focus. I always use manual focus with the focus button on top, and keep the lens around 44mm full frame equivalent (around where the max aperture is 2.4 :D) for streets. With the lens resume enabled when I turn on the camera everything will be correct, I just need to press the shutter button!
@AlexKimPhotoАй бұрын
The Fuji XF10 was always on my wishlist because it is pocketable and has fuji film simulation. So, I'm curious about why you didn't like it. The only reason keeping me from that camera is the 28mm equiv. focal length. Yes, for a camera that is 16 year old, it has lots of customizable menus and great color palette. Thank you so much for that info about the focal length memory! Now I have zero reasons to dislike any part of this camera!
@tuhisdrawsАй бұрын
@@AlexKimPhoto For some reason I’ve never liked the look of Fuji’s film simulations. They don’t look like film but they’re also not that fresh :D I don’t think I have any photos taken with the XF10 that I’d return to look at or remember. They’re basic good photos, clean, sharp, lots of megapixels, but there’s nothing else. Maybe it’s the 28mm lens that I just can’t use right. The camera is also slow, both in focusing and in general operation. The LX3 feels so much more snappier to me. I’m not saying XF10 is a bad camera by any means, it’s just that it wasn’t what I wanted from a pocketable camera. For others it might be the right choice! I’ve sold my X100 and Xpro1 as well, so maybe Fujifilm just isn’t the tool for my photography in general :D

There are sooo many great ltm lenses from canon, Nikon, Leica, voigtlander.. etc - and I agree the peak design cuff is my favorite accessory, the cuff stays on the wrist when you eat, or take a break at 7-eleven, and keeps the setup subtile and clean and discreet while shooting on the street. -Thank you for showing some really wild examples of the 44-2. I have thought about getting one for many years, but finding the right one from the best factory is hard to find 🫣 And I will definitely be buying the loopdeck!

@@marcelocampoamor4761 Hey Marcelo, Thank you so much for the detailed help. I will implement this on my camera straight away!
Good review . I might buy and used A7RIII .
Thanks a lot for watching! Definitely recommend it.
you deleted your instagram?
No I have not!
Such a great review! Some years ago i believe 2019 i bought a Leica Dlux 4 (same as LX3) in a second hand store for 25 bucks in very good condition. It was a breakthrough in my photography in many ways. Sometimes it can take better photos than my Canon 6D and Sony A6000. It´s hard to discribe but i think you nailed it. I recently bought another Dlux 4 in brand new condition just to have a backup if my first somehow dies.
Wow! Good to hear that you had a photography breakthrough with this camera! I think the joy and ease of using this camera combined with great photo quality does that! Now that summer is just around the corner, I will use this camera more because of how this camera renders green and how easy it is to carry it around. Have a good day! Really appreciate your comment!
Compressed RAW will save you a TON of space just FYI, there's no literal difference between the two. Yo ucan consider compressed raw as a half processed, half baked process BUT you still have absolute tons of room to edit ad adjust. I Have the A7R ii and it's great for both modes and I recently started using compressed raws and I'm a dark, blacks almost fully dropped moody type shooter with occasional high key and neither side shoes signs of breaking when I edit. Plus you get like triple the buffer rate. Give it a try! Hybrid shooting.. all cameras have to process files before you can switch modes so don't blame the camera. That's just threading purposes can't blame em. Imagine being in the middle of processing files and your boss pulls your files away and throws a pile of something else, you loose your place lol
Thank you for this information! I saw from other photography youtube that compressed raw is just as good as uncompressed raw, but it was hard for me to take a leap of faith because I’ve been shooting uncompressed for 3 years and i like to shoot in darker situations. But hearing from your user experience convinced me. Wow, faster buffer rate from compressed raw is something that never crossed my mind! This absolutely convinced me to use compressed raw. Thank you. Yes i thought that switching modes while processing was the norm for all cameras haha but now with the faster buffer rate, it would matter less. Thank you so much for the comment and watching my video! Hope you have a great start to your week!
@@AlexKimPhoto I was the same exact way for as long as I've been shooting raws, at first i needed the buffer rate for sports so i switched to jpegs but i didn't like what I was stuck with when i wanted to edit. I switched to compressed raws and i was like well shoot no difference, double to triple the buffer rate. i can burst raws all day long now LOL. Haven't switched back since UNLESS I'm doing a high paid shoot where it's more still semi moving not so much bursting but otherwise, compressed raws for me! Glad i can help man yea give it a real street photography try when you get out again... nothing but compressed. Do a buffer test too right now, it will burst to no end LOL. On my A7R ii I get like 22 bursts and I think it's every lasting on yours which is a body I'm soon going to get
@@tonypmedia Yes, I am planning to shoot a POV street photography episode. So I will be giving the compressed raw a first shot at it. I will be shooting videos as well so i will get some real life comparisons when switching from photo to video. I am more excited to be on my photoshoot now thanks to you! Hope you get your A7R3 soon and hope it suits your needs! It is a fantastic camera!
@@AlexKimPhoto Thank you!. I'm supporting you with an awesome subscribe and bell for ALL so i can see your update video and take on this.
@@tonypmedia Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support! 😁🙌🙌
I still have an a7r3. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it; it's still a solid backup camera. My only gripe is the autofocus is slowish for fast moving action
I’m on the same boat! Really don’t see the need to upgrade any time soon. Yes i did notice that sometimes it struggles when im using my 35mm 2.8za when there are some moving subjects, but much better than other cameras that i own haha
you didn't get it for fast movie action did you?
@@Juventinos no, I got mine for landscapes, portraits and product photography. But after using a9's and current generation sony cameras you can really tell how sluggish the auto focus system is
@@AlexKimPhoto I have the Sony FE 35 f1.8 and the autofocus is working without problems, I have the A7III too and there is not difference in Autofocus speed with this lens.
Install the latest firmware for this camera and it will start from the last focal length. As for the screen , it is one of the largest , most accurate in colors for that time . try sigma dp, for example)
Thank you so much for informing me! I did not know that about the screen. I actually did find the menu to make it start from the last focal length! Thanks for watching!
What are the picture settings you use for your lx3?
I just shot in Raw with minimal editing on exposure only.
Great video and review, Alex. I got my hands on the GRIIIx just a few months ago and wouldn’t be without it, it’s with me every day, just like my phone. It was hard to get the camera in the first place, everywhere seemingly sold out; though after ringing around I found a single camera at a shop 30 minutes away by train. I grabbed it and it’s been one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s a creative beast, with ‘Hi contrast B&W’ and ‘Retro film’ being my current favourite film simulation modes. Keep up with the great content! 👍📷😎
Thank you so much for watching Jonathan! And congrats on getting your hands on the Ricoh GR3X. It must have been an exciting trip! Yes, one of the strongest points of the ricoh is that you always have it with you. I get so many more photos with the ricoh just because of its size. I should try some more black and white photography now that the sun is out and stronger. Thank you so much for the support. Happy shooting!
I love this, and being there in the moment witnessing all the smiles and people that came from nowhere must have been quite an experience!
Yes exactly! The spontaneous nature of this day’s experience made it that much better :) I am very happy you enjoyed my video and thank you for leaving a comment. Appreciate the support!
👍
😁🙌🙌
Loved seeing the POV and then the picture afterwards. So interesting
I am happy you enjoyed my work. Thank you so much for the support :)
Great video and great photos
Thank you for the kind words!
Wow, better than the last one! Brother, be waiting for new vids. Loving the metaphor, always enjoy the process!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate the support :) Enjoy the process!
"a genius can't beat a person who tries hard, and the person who tries hard can't beat a person who enjoys it" probably the most mind blowing aphorism i've heard in a while. my favorite video of yours so far. thank you
It is one of my favorite aphorism :) Thank you so much for watching, Clinton!
mine is over 80,000. love my gr3. my first camera for nearly 2 yrs now. excited for gr4
I have some catching up to do! I am also excited for GR4. Thank you for watching my video. Have a nice day :)
How do you carry it? I really love mine and hope to reach that many clicks with minimal damage and issues.
There’s no disconnection in wide angle. Is that you are not close enough 😉 This is personal preference, I know, but I do prefer as a photographer and as a viewer when I’m immerse in the action, rather than a spectator from distance. Love the Ricoh GR. I got the HDF, my first, and I love it, even considering high compromises (WR, low light AF or even AF in general, for me).
Yes, that is why I did not forget to say “unless it was shot up really close” 😁 I do enjoy wide angle lenses when it is used really well. But I just felt that wide angle lenses are more difficult to use “correctly”. Congrats on getting your GR! I heard it is close to impossible to get it these days. Glad to hear you love it cuz I feel the same way too haha Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching my review!
bro started strong early in the review, IMO nothing could come close to the SnapFocus on that lil beast. hopefully i could pick up a used GRiii when i'm going back to Japan next year. nowadays the GR prices are still on the high side lol.
Thanks a lot watching my review! As I got used to this camera, I mostly stay on the snap focus mode. Really is a great feature. Hope you get your GR3 in Japan🤞and have a nice trip. I’m jealous!
Love it!
Thanks! I am happy you enjoyed it :)
@@AlexKimPhoto I like the compression that the 40mm creates, very well suited to this type of photography!
@@changez77654 I agree! Love the 40mm on the gr3x for this reason!
Thanks man, very useful video!
You are very welcome! Thank you for watching :)
가지고 싶은 카메라인데 참 구하기가 어렵습니다…….
제가 구할때만 해도 10분 동안은 결제 가능했는데 이제 후지도 리코도 너무 구하기 어려워졌죠 ㅠㅠ 다음엔 꼭 구매 성공하시길 바랍니다. 시청해주셔서 감사합니다!
Thanks for the video Alex. Very helpful ! it's backordered unfortunately! too popular! Great photos!
Yes it is a shame about the backorder. Same situation here in Korea unfortunately. Hope you get it the next chance! Thank you so much for watching
Nice tips! Following from Paris Some photgraphs that you took remind me of when I was a student in Seoul 안녕!
안녕! Hope your time in Seoul was good! You are living in my favorite city. Thank you so much for watching my video :)
Hey brother, thanks for yet another great video. Like I said in the last video, I’m so happy you reviewed this camera. It was also really nice to hear the background of the camera with your family. That is really nice to hear a bit more of your life and personal stories. It’s really warm and makes the videos very personal. Thanks bro! Look forward to the next video!
Hey MJ, thanks a lot for the support! Using this camera and reviewing it made me realize once again that gear matters only a little. Yes, sharing my own experiences and stories is something that I should incorporate more in my videos! Thank you for the feedback.
Great review, Alex! Very insightful stuff. Your shots have a really nice vibe!! 👏
Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the photos 😁
I used to have the Fuji XF10 as my pocket cam for a few years but never quite liked it. So I sold it. I was looking for a replacement when I found the LX3 for a bargain in the local used market and decided to give it a go. I’ve been shooting with it since. It has a surprisingly good set of features and I really like the overall handling of it. Btw you can enable the lens focal length memory from the settings so you don’t have to start from 24mm every time. It’s the third page on the wrench menu, Lens Resume. It will remember both the zoom and focus. I always use manual focus with the focus button on top, and keep the lens around 44mm full frame equivalent (around where the max aperture is 2.4 :D) for streets. With the lens resume enabled when I turn on the camera everything will be correct, I just need to press the shutter button!
The Fuji XF10 was always on my wishlist because it is pocketable and has fuji film simulation. So, I'm curious about why you didn't like it. The only reason keeping me from that camera is the 28mm equiv. focal length. Yes, for a camera that is 16 year old, it has lots of customizable menus and great color palette. Thank you so much for that info about the focal length memory! Now I have zero reasons to dislike any part of this camera!
@@AlexKimPhoto For some reason I’ve never liked the look of Fuji’s film simulations. They don’t look like film but they’re also not that fresh :D I don’t think I have any photos taken with the XF10 that I’d return to look at or remember. They’re basic good photos, clean, sharp, lots of megapixels, but there’s nothing else. Maybe it’s the 28mm lens that I just can’t use right. The camera is also slow, both in focusing and in general operation. The LX3 feels so much more snappier to me. I’m not saying XF10 is a bad camera by any means, it’s just that it wasn’t what I wanted from a pocketable camera. For others it might be the right choice! I’ve sold my X100 and Xpro1 as well, so maybe Fujifilm just isn’t the tool for my photography in general :D
@@tuhisdraws Oh I understand completely. I didn’t love the fuji colors neither. I know the huge hype behind the fuji cameras, and that makes me want one haha But I did have an x100t in the past and I sold it too. I really wanted to like it, but it just wasn’t for me for some reason. I think we prefer similar focal lengths that are not too wide. I heard about the very slow focusing on the XF10, another reason I was hesitant on getting that camera. Now that I’m perfectly happy with the LX3, I am not in search for another camera anymore. I prefer the colors out of the LX3 :)
@@AlexKimPhoto Yeah with the LX3 it takes very minimal editing to get just the kind of colours I like!
@@tuhisdraws Same for me! The photos you saw are barely edited!
LX3 user right here🙌🙌 It's a really nice little toy with great color
Yes! I forgot to mention it but I love the colors out of this camera!
Wow! What a useful video!! Keep up the great work brother!
Thank you so much for watching, brother!
Brother! Another great and helpful video! My favorite vintage lens I own has to be canon 50 1.4 LTM „Japanese Summulix“. I loved the sharpness and it’s buttery rendering so much, that I sold my summilux. -Another great tip is ltm to m Mount adapter for old ltm glass. There are sooo many great ltm lenses from canon, Nikon, Leica, voigtlander.. etc - and I agree the peak design cuff is my favorite accessory, the cuff stays on the wrist when you eat, or take a break at 7-eleven, and keeps the setup subtile and clean and discreet while shooting on the street. -Thank you for showing some really wild examples of the 44-2. I have thought about getting one for many years, but finding the right one from the best factory is hard to find 🫣 And I will definitely be buying the loopdeck! My wrists are destroyed from the mouse after many years! Thanks for a great video again, brother! 🙏🏽☺️
Thanks again for the comment bro! Yes, I heard lots of great things about vintage Canon lenses. I might try some, but I am just afraid that I might get addicted to it! haha I have about a dozen lenses, and only three of them are autofocus lenses 🥲 Okay I think my next gear to buy will be the peak design straps. Helios is really awesome! I can’t recommend it enough. I think just avoiding the worst factory is good enough because mine is from the “second best” factory, but the build quality is really good. Yes! Definitely get the loupedeck! It is a game changer. Now I can’t edit without it. It will be good for your wrists too! Thanks again for watching! I really appreciate the support brother! 🙌😎

Hey, Thanks again! Wow, good eyes. I am using Tiffen Black Pro Mist filter :) yes, Reggie’s recipe got me using Jpeg haha
@@AlexKimPhoto Ah got ya! Some of the pictures had this typical lighting from Black Mist filters. Funny ;) I recently started using them as well but filters from Urth on my Fujifilm X-Pro 3 with 50mm. Love it!!
@@GrainyStreets this filter is almost always on all my cameras haha I can’t go back :)
