FUN with Ricoh GR!!!

[biglouis]

Or like Sean Read writes, something to the effect that "I don't understand why every serious photographer is not shooting with one of these." I still can't get over what a marvel it is.

Ming doesn't mention the CCD sensor, which I think has a lot to do with it. Not many of those left today, but our little GRs are in good company, with the M9 and Monochrom.

I know what you mean. Especially those interminable GAS threads where people ask for a small camera they can travel with. Just buy a GR!

Even though it is a fixed focal length lens - ever heard of cropping? This is the only camera I own which is as sharp at the 100% crop level as my DP2 and DP3M.

A colleague asked me today how I managed to capture the picture above (of Camden Town). Simple. The camera is attached to my wrist as I walk home from the station. I see the shot. Lift up and framed. Taken. No one looking suspiciously as I heft a 2Kg black gorilla up to my eye - and the resulting frame could easily be printed up to 30inches wide.

I never would have captured the photo below without a GR in my pocket. An old shop sign redolent of the large Jewish community that existed in London's Whitechapel area until after the second world war. It is already confirmed as appearing in a magazine in the near future.

for the record it's a cmos sensor, not that it matters one way or other, image quality is just great...i feel the same as Ming about this little camera...
