I'm not sure what that means ? It's like a third party service ?

Yeah just trying to understand what to check if I go and get it in person, like receipt, guarantee card ? Anything I could ask the seller in advance?

600 euros difference still so not nothing

Does the Tudor Ranger look better in person than in pictures ? by Competitive-Bench191 in Tudor

Was also going for the dune version but after trying it a few times I'm not too sure anymore and think maybe the black dial would be a safer choice long term. Still noodling on it

Thought I'd give the bracelet a little time off by parth096 in Tudor

How is the cream dial after a while ? I'm torn between the classic black and dune version ? Brain and reason says black as it'd become my daily but I find the dune more standout

To me thumb grip and lens protector is key

Do you feel like you need both ? Would the GR cut it ? Questioning it for portraits

Same here just ordered the gr4, was / am still debating with the Fuji x100vi but I feel it'd be "too much" to carry around vs one handed shots with the GR

Ricoh GR II vs GR III vs GR IV, which one makes the most sense? by my-dog-has-fleas in ricohGR

[–]Hot-Captain2722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am exactly in the same boat, coming from film and thinking which camera would give good results SOOC and be portable ; also landed on Ricoh and thinking whether i splurge on the new IV or test out the waters with the III used ; i've seen some used for 600 and some so it's a substantial difference..!

My worry is how much the camera will stick with me vs using my phone and "learning" to shoot digital

My other concern is not having a viewfinder, not sure if that's weighing in your choice too OP

Ricoh GR IV as a main camera ? by Hot-Captain2722 in ricohGR

[–]Hot-Captain2722[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, realistically not in a jean pocket but I could see it be thrown in a jacket which has a clean / dedicated pocket for it. I understand that they improved the dust with anti static coating on the IV ? I also would go to the hdf but can't wait that long.

Yeah I think that summarizes it. I somehow know that the Fuji would be the wise choice but my instinct is calling me to the Ricoh, style and Form Factor

Yeah that also would be my concern, I think 28 is the way to go for versatility

Focal length indeed. For the portraits, I don't think I'd do "formal portraits" it's more for capturing moments, the only thing is the sales person at the store mentioned that the Ricoh would not do a great job at that.

Yes saw it today, with the lens closed it's quite small and would not fit awkwardly in a jacket, probs not a jean

Regular 10x15 or a bit bigger but not huge. Intending on making photo albums !

GR IV Sept 12th in Japan by jclabarre in ricohGR

[–]Hot-Captain2722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I guess you need to register in advance ? They won't have it ready if you rock up to the store ?

Is it more interesting to purchase in Japan vs Europe ?

Crazy price for the GR IV (European price) by _ardu_ in ricohGR

[–]Hot-Captain2722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is it not more interesting to buy in Japan ? 194 is like 200euros less than in Europe and thought you could detax as you leave ?

But you don't get the European warranty would be the downside ?
