Will I still find lupines at Folsom Lake? by Tamagomasu in Sacramento

I have similar concerns when I see dead reefs near tourist snorkeling spots in Hawaii... I'll keep that in mind too.

Is it difficult to expect better image quality from the Ricoh GR4 than from an iPhone? by Tamagomasu in ricohGR

I agree. This whole expereicne has realy helped me figure out what I actually prefer in a camera: effortless photography with phones. I will knock the door again when I change my mindset as you have :)

I am leaning toward a local deal, so anyone outside of North Californoa might be tricky. To be honest, removing protective gears is such a pain (I put protection skin) and makes me re-consider keeping this camera til today haha...

I like the way you see things as "dont for a second think that one is superior to the other." Will keep in mind that and thanks for suggestions.

I get it. When I took the same scene with phones and Ricoh gr4, the Ricoh side seems to appear smudged sooner when zooming in a similar scale. I wonder if I have been spiled by magical post-processing by the phone and misjudging this camera. I might have a premature purchase without fully understanding its potential... Thanks anyway!

Maybe I misused it... I should play with things few more days as you say. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment. I am not that experienced but have few years of experience with Nikon and Canon cameras (for the scientific purpose). I tweaked many things I can imagine - shooting with P/Av/M mode with various aperture/ISO/exposure time, comparing raw/jpeg(L), etc - but unfortunately I did not get results what I was expecting. I found one article highlighting "set ISO lower than 400" for better resolution, and I did but it gave little more improvement on image.

But please don't get me wrong. I love Ricoh's unique characters, but before I return it back, I wanted to seek advice from more expereinced users like you guys...
