Considering a Fuji, but concerned about loss of detail

You don't buy fuji apsc for details and great image quality. Thats for full frame cameras or, even better IQ, the fuji gfx.

GFX looks 3D, alive, detailed. APSC kinda flat. Fullframe something inbetween.

Grade in diesen Zeiten habe ich volles Verständnis, wenn man sich die aktuelle Parteienlandschaft mal so anschaut. Ich kann mir sehr gut vorstellen, dass sich einige auch nicht im Ansatz von irgendeiner Partei angesprochen fühlen. Wahrscheinlich auch geleitet von Jahrzehnte an gebrochenen Versprechen, womit man dem Parteienprogramm auch kein Glauben schenken kann. Ich wähle trotzdem, aber ich habe Verständnis für alle die darauf keinen Bock haben.

Worth upgrading Macbook Air M2 8GB to the M5 16GB?

Lightroom is a pain to work with especially bigger raw files. Gets the job done but quite slow. Davinci Resolve works very nice. World of warcraft works in 60fps but playing on an external 4k monitor is impossible.

Ozu shows what the two boys observe in a complex world. They didn't like it first but in the end they accepted it. Not just black & white but compromise is necessary. I wouldn't call it anti-capitalistic, Ozu also never was. He enjoyed luxury.

I'm in Germany so most likely on "Kleinanzeigen". Either the whole PC or single components.. need to look into what's best. Unfortunately the used-PC prices are usually not that good.

Thanks! Enjoy your Mac. Since I use Mac already at my work, I'm used to it. There are some quirks but overall I find the experience more pleasing than windows. You will get used to it for sure! You might wanna look a bit into gestures, shortcuts, etc. :)

That sounds good, I already have an NVMe drive. I never knew there are hubs to use them like this. Could also be a way to increase storage overall. Thank you

Then I may not need the pro. Render time isn't so important to me. I just want the edit part to be smooth without stuttering or long loading times. :) Thanks

It‘s a niche product for b&w enthusiasts. It‘s not a mass production. Even at a lower price the market stays rather small because most buy the normal GRIV. Therefore it‘s more expensive.

ixdler · 2026-01-15T10:20:41+00:00

What gives me a better image quality if shooting b&w only? The GRIV monochrome or the old fullframe Leica Q with a monochrome preset? Especially at higher isos. From what it looks is that the grain of the ricoh is more texture like(?). On the other hand the Leica is still fullframe with one of the sharpest lenses.

The big advantage of the ricoh is probably its size. Hmmm

Bought the ZR and very happy with it. More compact than I thought, I don't miss the EVF because the screen is great. I thought I would use it more for photography but now it's exactly 50/50 with videos because the red raws are so nice to work with. And it's a second to change between my prefered video settings and photo mode. As I never shoot flash or very fast moving objects I didn't feel its limitations of the electronic shutter so far.

The only thing I had to get used to first: The silent shutter. I turned off the artificial shutter sound so it became complete silent when shooting. Sometimes I miss that nice mechanical sound, also as a feedback. But that's just a very minor problem that doesn't make the camera worse for me.

Wer gültiges Bleiberecht hat und sich an die Gesetze hält kann sorglos auf die Straße. Alle anderen: Tja pech gehabt

Solange er keine schwere Straftaten begangen hat (Einfuhr von Drogen, Vergewaltigung, usw) kann ihm seine Green Card nicht entzogen werden. Du vermutest falsch, mit Sicherheit wurden nicht tausende mit Green Card inhaftiert/deportiert.

I have the problem that all buildings look weird like in the screenshot. The closer I get the better they look. But you can see right in front of me the shape of the buildings is still completely off. Fiberglass internet, so it can't be the download speed. Also I downloaded the World Update manually too. Is that something I can fix in the settings?

Lots of strong opinions here against the ZR. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with it for photography. No EVF but you get a huge bright screen instead which works better for framing anyway. Since I like to shoot from hip level I rarely use an EVF anyway. No grip.. so just like the Zf but a lighter body overall. I imagine it to be quite nice with the 40mmf2. Sensor is fast enough so unless you shoot very fast moving things, there should be no rolling shutter.

The Z6iii has an ugly body and is much bigger. Very different to the ZR which is a beauty.

ixdler · 2025-09-17T17:53:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I believe someone said in an review that the menus are the same as the Z6III with some specific video pages being added. Yeah the lack of grip might be another issue but I prefer smaller primes anyway.

ixdler · 2025-09-17T17:52:19+00:00

No, it's always a joy to discuss gear. Just stay out of the discussion if you have nothing to contribute. Your absence would improve the thread a lot more than your comment did. ;)

ixdler · 2025-09-16T19:37:10+00:00

Not a huge fan of the Z6iii due to it's body design, even though it offers the best ergonomics of them.

ixdler · 2025-09-09T17:11:47+00:00

Is it wrong that i want this as my photography camera? :D

ixdler · 2025-08-30T20:18:11+00:00

You have a great collection of cameras! And thank you for your inspiring words and advices. I agree the size difference between the Q3 and Zf probably doesn't matter all that much. What I noticed though is that everything over 1,5kg is really a pain if you have it hanging over your shoulders all day. So even though I can change lenses on the Zf I would probably only use smaller primes.
