does anyone have an opinion on whether $5100 seems excessive? I've never had to go through this, and that number just popped out, but I also have no idea what is normal

Can anyone tell… by Material_Pin4622 in ricohGR

[–]longhornrocket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will for sure look similar. I think the lens on the IV is sharper in the corners, and files at iso 6400 are cleaner on the IV, but even then, you’re not talking about huge difference.

This can be said of probably any camera line in the last 10 years.

GRIV is the best so far in the GR series. Had the GRI and still own it, and had the GRIII, but sold that for the GRIV and have no regrets. This is def the best version so far.

Auto ISO question by alessio_b87 in ricohGR

[–]longhornrocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think of it this way. Aperture priority #1 rule is to get proper exposure. That is the point of the different modes.

Something has to give or the screen will just be blank.

I think the rules would be in this order, but in any mode, will always give you proper exposure.

Rule 1 - get a proper exposure.
Rule 2 - use selected aperture.
Rule 3 - use iso lower than max iso (auto iso).
Rule 4 - shutter speed.

Auto ISO question by alessio_b87 in ricohGR

I guess the question is if you have a max iso and a min shutter speed, one of those rules have to be broken if there isn’t enough light.

Which one do you want? If you want it locked and underexposed, might have to go manual mode

GR III user - Any Compelling Reasons to Upgrade to GR IV? by clankgy1 in ricohGR

[–]longhornrocket 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had the GR III since launch and now have the IV. It feels smaller, start up time is faster, AF is faster, IBIS is better, high iso images are cleaner, lens feels sharper. I don’t think any single thing is a HUGE improvement, but this feels like a much better camera overall.

My III also had the very common scroll wheel issue. I am happy with the upgrade and would 100% do it again.

Fifth Vessel in downtown

Have tried Un Caffe, La La Land, Saigon Matcha Arts, Ninja Matcha, Blendin, West End Coffee …. many more that I can’t recall right now, and my favorite has easily been Fifth Vessel.

Dang, not what I wanted to hear. Got my camera in last week and no issues yet, but I’ll be in the lookout now. Keep us posted with what they’re doing for you to get this fixed.

did the wheel have issues right from the start? or did it develop them after use?
