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.
My absolute favorite lens for APS-C now. Great reach for street photography and interesting compositions. The buttery backgrounds are amazing.
Nice video. I just bought a small flash I am starting to understand about its usages. The use as a fill flash surely caught my attention
Always see photographers using flash equipment where I live at a harbor along the lake shore. The harbor make for interesting backgrounds for families, high school kids & models. Now I know why. Thank you Bob. most appreciated
Good review, tried to love this camera for street but the AF for is poor.
Not bad, Sir, wonderful woman! Thnx a lot!
*micro usb, not usb c
PLEASE HELP!!! I used a tt artisans prime lens on the sony zv-E10, and now when I switch back to kit lens, it wont work! It wont zoom, it wont autofocus and I cant even change the focus mode cos its just STUCK at manual focus!!! Any solutions???
Thank you Bob. Your reviews have taught and saved me money when purchasing used lens in with varied ranges you've recommended.
thank you!
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
This is the kind of video I was looking for. Thanks!
It’s funny the Canon R8 takes out Nikons whole mirrorless line up in autofocus atm. Heck even the R50 😂. Sad days for Nikon.
Top review Bob. Looking at getting one these for quick gimbal work. Small enough to take along with all the other kit for those moments when you need one or quick smooth moves.
You are just awesome mate! Thank you very much for an absolutely amazing video.
Appreciate the review on that lens & definitely agree with you findings. Thank you Bob.
Nice
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.
For American viewers, the term "slated" in British English means to criticize harshly.
Thanks for an interesting video. Not mentioned, but a favourite of mine, is the Nikon 1 range of cameras.
I miss the days when people used cameras like this. Now everyone is walking around with smartphones, it's so pathetic deplorable . No one is interested in the quality of the photos.
Thank you for featuring the G100. As a GM5 owner (which I am using as an EDC camera) I view the G100 as the GM5 successor. For street photography I have a GX9.
One bit of critisicm to help your videos, I'd leave out that third camera angle entirely. The first two are enough and looks professional. Third kind of ruins the overallshot in my opinion. Great info otherwise!
I have it on my A6400. It is a very un-Leicalike setup. You just whip it out, shoot away and go home with images that are good enough for most uses. Makes you think...and reconsider. Talking picture-wise: How much added value do you actually get using full-frame top of the line material?
People seem to criticise the ZFC it is good for street
I'm going to try my new set up today, for my Himalayan singing bowls. I set up yesterday but forgot to put phantom power to the Rode M5 mics, (also forgot to put the settings to 48hz.) Heading to my yoga studio to give it another try, (onto a mac with quicktime.) Fingers crossed!!
Well, I bought it, with flash attached camera had a about 4 seconds delay after pressing the shutter. Unusable.
Thank you Bob, handy to have for general use. Thank you.
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!
A thing like this just makes phones more stupid, leave the phone at home and bring a proper Camera !
It's a great camera, but in the occupied USSR, with a monthly salary of $ 350, you can only dream.
Have you done a review on the lumix GX40 because I am thinking of getting one and I would like a good review if you don’t mind thanks for your good videos really appreciate them
Great review. Thank you Bob.
No one else will tell about those eyebrows, but i will. They're a war crime, mate. Just because you get old doesn't mean you have to turn into a cartoon character. "Oh I'm old and i didn't care anymore!" Yikes. Scissors, babe, they're your friend.
Crazy to me how people can be so useless, why are you commenting this, do you feel better about yourself? It’s hardly affecting you, you’re pointless, going after someone making videos to help people, get a life.
lastest version of vuescan and the plustek 7200 now work with windows 10
I didn’t hear it, is the AF better than Sony?
Very practical and useful hands-on comparison review, thank you!
Great vid thanks! Subbed.
Like most recommendations - the prices all seem to go up. The GX80? Now $400+!!!
this is the only video that said nikon z5 has no touch and drag to move the focusing point. a full frame version of em5 mk II
Oh my gosh, I just bought the macbook pro today because I didn't trust the air to hold up with my intentions. I am SO, so glad to find you!! New fan here and highly grateful.
A huge thank you, now I know the Rode M5 I bought will work with this, (because of you,) AND that I can use it directly into my macbook pro for my yoga studio recordings of guided meditations, Himalayan singing bowls and singing the occasional chant. GREAT reviews and your help was a game changer for me. I am not technically able at all. Thank you!
Thank you for this, new Yoga studio owner here, (planning to use these for guided meditations, singing mantra chants, and also playing Himalayan bowls. I just got my matched set today with the stereo bar and stand. I didn't realize I needed to order plugs and am so glad to find you. I'm going to watch your zoom H6 recorder review now! I'm new and just started using my rode wireless ME for yoga class online. Again, glad to find you! I'm planning to use this on a mac book pro. I'm hoping the H6 is the missing link!
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!
Very cool - will try with my iPad (don't have an iPhone with USB-C). Thanks!
The Canon Cripple Hammer, strikes again. :)) OK, I get it, when on sale, it is really cheap, and will still render images of quality. The Nikon Z50 is a tad steeper in pricer, but well worth it. Go Nikon! I am loving my Z5 full frame, which cost $997 USD on sale. By far the true bargain in photography. And the Z40 f2 is such a compact little guy for a few bucks. I have a Canon RP and it is OK in some ways, but after getting the Nikon, it is so much better. The sensor dynamic range, and many other reasons Nikon is in for the win.
I am one of the unsecured creditors, having paid for the 4K upgrade to my Mark II a couple of years ago. This is a nightmare for about 212 of us around the world, though I am still running my machine without any major issues. I likewise hope someone takes it over... the FB group has been super helpful, but real support is going to take a commitment. Such a shame...
Wow, I’ve spent a couple of hours trying to understand why it doesn’t work….
thanks for this video. helped me a lot
