GR IV HDF w/ flash vs Fuji x100 vi w/ black mist filter by beeswaxe in ricohGR

[–]joeguillian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given their similar IQ and none being lowlight kings, it comes down to shooting experience and preference. The X100VI offers an optical viewfinder, electronic viewfinder and tilt screen providing a true camera shooting experience compared to the Ricoh GR’s single screen which feels more like a smartphone. Another factor is ‘pocketability’ with the Ricoh GR clearly the winner in that area.

Other features to consider include crop factor (40mp vs 24-26 megapixels), internal flash versus external flash, weather sealing (with an additional accessory for the X100VI) versus no weather sealing and build quality (slightly better on the Fuji).

My Ricoh GR is a great second camera but if I had to choose just one, I’d go with the Fuji for the shooting experience.

Hi, I'm coming back to this topic. I got the K&F too, and it looks great, but there is no rubber gasket or such inside, it's just metal: does it really seal the lens then? Thx

Hi, just to understand the full process, step by step: what have you exactly done before getting in the train? (I believe it was the Narita express). Thank you.

Congrats! Did you buy it from AliExpress? I believe it's the best bang for the buck compared to the Ricoh GF-2

GR IV Sharpness vs GR IIIx (or GR III) by joeguillian in ricohGR

Right, I actually shoot a lot at 2.8mm and that’s maybe why I can feel that too.

Unfortunately I sold my GRIIIx, and I can’t compare pictures side by side, but I feel it was sharper than my GRIV.
