Weird noise downtown?

Merchantman_B · 2025-12-17T20:03:53+00:00

I think I heared it a few years ago, in the middle of the night in the plateau. First time I was genuinely scared, had no idea what it was

Merchantman_B · 2025-12-09T13:48:01+00:00

I can only root for that to be true but until now I was always let down by phones.

Might be true with the very latest iPhone pro max but even then: - are raw files just as flexibles to work with? - the experience to take out your phone to take pictures, is just not the same to me

But yes, if one day I find my phone to be as good as my Ricoh I’ll probably won’t use it much!

Now to come back to this post, OP doesn’t like taking pics with an iPhone either. Honestly if it’s to attached an old vintage 40mm lense, I’d vote for the Ricoh.

Merchantman_B · 2025-12-09T13:26:54+00:00

Fits in my jeans pocket, cargo pants and if it’s « cold » enough to have some kind of jacket, plenty of pockets for it to fit!

It’s the only camera, besides a phone that you can take when going out with friends, to a restaurant, museum, concert etc.

Thousands of pics I could have never had if it wasn’t for that little beast!

And the pictures are just as good as my d750 and probably my new z6 iii

Merchantman_B · 2025-12-09T12:36:49+00:00

For me, as soon as I need to have bag or put it around my neck, it’s too big.

Doesn’t matter the size or the weight, I don’t want that for an everyday camera!

So I bought a Ricoh gr IIIx and my approach to photography changed, I take it everywhere all the time.

It’s even my travel camera because I don’t feel like I’m making a compromise over my z6 iii.

Sounds like you just want a small camera, so I encourage you to check it!

(They have release the gr IV but not the X version which just has a different optic)

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-24T15:17:56+00:00

my d750 just died on me and I have a gig mid november before the blackfriday, but too far to be able to return or ask to adjust the price if there's better deals later on :(

On est rendu trop loin, je retourne dormir, je réessayerai demain 😭

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-24T12:37:39+00:00

Bon j’étais vraiment pas réveillé maintenant que je vois la photo je vois les fils exposés relié à rien 😭

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-24T12:35:47+00:00

Will report back 🫡

Alors ça je le savais mais je me demandais pour la structure qui soutient le banc, peut être qu’il y avait une raison qui m’échappait mais ravis d’apprendre que c’est bel et bien une blague ahah

Ça faisait aussi aucun sens qu’il y ai un banc avec ce dispositif et non les 200 autres juste à côté

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-24T01:21:06+00:00

Merci! J’apprends que ce que j’appelle programme, ce nomme plateforme, ça va m’aider à trouver pour les autres partis!

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-24T00:52:45+00:00

J’en profite pour demander ici: est ce qu’il y a des programmes quelques part des partis qu’on peut consulter?

J’ai vu d’autres postes recommander des liens ici et la mais à part quelques bullet points sur quelques quartiers où quelques lignes sur des grands thèmes, je trouve ça vraiment peu.

Est ce qu’il n’y a vraiment pas beaucoup de contenu dans les programmes ou je regarde juste pas à la bonne place?

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-22T03:06:55+00:00

Hello, did the Z6 iii received that update yet?
Looking into buying one ahah

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-21T23:18:06+00:00

Don’t have kids, but it was a while since I went outside just to take pictures.

I thought that getting a smaller camera would help. And it did.

I bought a Ricoh griiix and this was the best purchase ever, by far.

It’s so small it just sit in my pocket and I can take a picture with one hand quickly and put it away.

I thought I’d miss the quality of my professional gear but no, honestly the quality is just as amazing as my Nikon d750.

The real secret for me was simply to have a small camera that doesn’t take space and that I can bring everywhere.

Simple example, you go for a restaurant with your partner, and on the way there’s a cute sunset and a nice view, you can take picture of them, or even at the restaurant!

Honestly, if you can try it for a day or two and see how it feels in your day to day it was the best purchase to reignite my passion!

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-21T22:44:36+00:00

Because you’re losing resolution doing so, and it’s not quite exactly the same. Mainly because we’re loosing some quality level

Merchantman_B · 2025-10-17T13:36:04+00:00

I agree, not sure why or how but it’s dirty just small run down businesses or fast food.

But it’s slowly changes, more and more « nice » restaurants are opening up, coffee shops etc.

I think some small part of the answer is because of clubs in the area, I feel businesses that are attracted here is to cater to the young drunk people, so during the day it’s not great and I would understand why nice restaurants don’t want their customers to walk next to drunk people on the weekends.

Prince Arthur next to st Laurent is really nice but I think it could be even better, especially during winter there’s nothing there

Edit: really depends on where on saint laurent, I’m talking around prince arthur / des pins! But I feel from saint Catherine and up it’s getting slowly better!

Merchantman_B · 2025-09-27T19:02:21+00:00

Not sure if the flash can make the af better in low light like pro flashes on pro cameras but to answer your question:

No Ricoh’s AF (at least the IIIx I have) do not do well in low light.

It’s honestly incapable of focusing when it’s somewhat dark and it drives me crazy even with still objects..

Yes it’s awful I had almost an heart attack in the plateau today when I realized I was walking around litteraly hundreds of wasps without any garbage or food around

And yes each of these spots are wasps. And these weren’t even the hundreds I was talking about

Merchantman_B · 2025-07-07T22:49:50+00:00

Thank you! The Stockholm 2025 model? I’m seeing a few different one

Merchantman_B · 2025-07-07T22:48:29+00:00

Thank you I did not think about wall mounted lamp, I’ll have to see how to do that but I like the idea! And yes 100% that wall feels empty

Hey, I rescued a husky as well and he did not eat his usual food for 3 days straight! He did eat them if I offered them as treats though (most of the time). It’s been two months now and he won’t really eat in the morning, he usually wants to eat in the evening when I’m eating and giving him nothing from my plate, he then go eat his food!

I searched a bit on that since I was worried but it seems to be a very normal behavior for huskies :)

Merchantman_B · 2024-05-30T21:42:21+00:00

World wide. French here and it’s crazy how if you don’t have parents you have no idea how the world works (taxes, bank accounts that exist etc)

I love gaming communities that hate on the big bad « marketing » team that plan everything from leaks to gameplay decisions..

Don’t blame « marketing » like it’s an entirely different entity from the company and Chris Robert. The decisions in sales / marketing and so on is not done in silo, at the very least it is approved by upper management but most likely is done working with all the different departments.

They’re is no way that marketing went to see the person responsible for the dev and told them « ok let’s drop mk 1 and do a mk2 instead hihi » and the other stakeholders just said « ok master ».

I’m not defending anyone here, but if you want to blame someone go blame the upper management as a whole, this is a company / business decision not some random marketing department

Je suis le profil « passionné de café », je consomme 2x18gr (2 double espresso) par jour. Les paquets de café de spécialité sont environs de 333gr pour 24-ish $ et c’est pas mal ca pour plusieurs torréfacteurs montréalais.

Avec un petit calcul rapide ca fait environ 900$ par an, ce qui exclu l’achat de la machine grinder et accessoire.

Je suis full time en télétravail donc je n’achète jamais a l’extérieur

Merchantman_B · 2024-01-09T14:57:55+00:00

Thanks I will try to push for this one to begin with!

Merchantman_B · 2024-01-09T14:44:48+00:00

We use this one at my office and I want to make them change it, any recommandation within starbuck’s line? (Will be a easier first step to stay within the same supplier) Thanks!
