They're nice but overpriced. I have the Fuji XF10 which is for all intents and purposes the same camera.
I would definitely go to the GR3X version which is 40mm rather than 28mm. 28mm is phone tier especially without a lot of background separation.

>>4233819
Had an XF10 for a while but didn't like the 28mm FOV too much.
Also in most situations where it would've been of use my aps-c ilc was not too big either so I rather brought that one.
So maybe consider eos-m stuff as well, if you don't absolutely need IBIS or are allergic to cheap plastic.

The GRIII is excellent, but overkill for most users. A lesser camera will most likely be enough to document your family. If you don't care about the steep price, you'll get a remarkable camera.

>>4233819

1k of what? I found both my GRIII and GRIIIx for 700EUR.

I liked my griii a lot. really nice camera, built quality and menue wise and also the operational quality. Same with the filters... just solid.
Only let down for me was the missing view finder. I just can't get happy with just a display. The optical I never tried, because I won't pay 300€ for a tiny piece of glas and plastic.
Other than that it's great and sometimes I miss it

>>4233819
it's really nice on days when you really want something portable. But those aren't most days for me so I sold mine. Phone is good enough for "those days"

>>4233991
Try the TTartisans 28mm VF. No brightlines but close enough for rough framing. $40. The Nikon NH-VF28 is the nicest VF I've used for a GR. It's perfect. You can find them for around $160.

I keep buying and selling GRs... I've had the 1 and 2, now the 3. Way back in the day I had the teensy sensor GR Digital II or III, I forget which.

Anyone using the RX100 VII for an every day camera? Got the LX100 but it feels a bit slow and clumsy.

yes. I have been in the market for a camera I can take on hikes (smartphone takes mediocre pictures & is deadweight) and there are very few alternatives these days because of smartphones.

14mm, and 24mm, and 50mm are going to be the phone photo lengths soon enough

35/40mm and 85m++ in 3:2 will stand out. 28mm still looks classic and people will yearn for the days when phones were just regular 28mm point and shits instead of 14-24-50 HDR AI cameras.

Don't post in 1:1 crops. Instagram is shit. Phone people should be cropping to 3:2 instead.

Look at you having this pathetic fucking incel meltdown over $1000 going "oh no le bugmen le jews le consumer material wealth bad btw i own an xbox and a gaming computer and a smartphone and 5 AR15s". That is less than one weeks pay assuming that you aren't a rightoid and could make it through college. $1000 is absolutely fucking nothing if you are not a social, mental, facial, and genetic failure who combines "doesn't deserve to breed" with "isn't able to anyways".

Do you know how much a car costs? How much an apartment rents for? How much a house is, how much a mortgage payment is? Do you know how much a salary is for a college graduate? Do you have any perspective on this, besides your whataburger wage and the lot rent you help pay for your dad's single wide?

Name another APS-C compact that comes with a good 40mm lens for less than $1k.

DSLRs don't count. Even the smallest DSLR ever made is nowhere near compact. The GR one of the few cameras called pocketable that actually fits in a normal persons pocket. Just because it's compact compared to how fucking fat some of you are doesn't mean it's compact for someone who knows that you shouldn't eat red meat for every meal and that living past 50 is actually a good thing.

Pentax Q-S1 with standard prime lens (40mm equivalent) is currently my hiking camera. It's very small and light. Pic related is an example of the photo I took with it earlier this year. Whether you think the photo quality looks good or not, the fact is that the images from a dedicated camera and lens system, despite having a tiny sensor smaller than micro four thirds, takes photos noticeably better than anything my iPhone could take. Almost anything is better than a phone camera.

Are you using a strap? It's small but it's like a little box, so hard to lug around. I've been carrying mine in a bag (more like throwing it in the car and only using it on location).

>>4238578
just the neck strap that it came with. generally I keep it in my backpack, and take it out if I see something interesting or reach a point of interest, which can be rather annoying. a camera belt pouch or some sort would probably better but I've never bothered.

>>4233850
This. I did a 28mm comparison between my GRIII and the iPhone 15 Pro and the phone was better, especially in low light. Sold my GRIII a week later.

>>4238965
May we see the comparison?

>>4238965
DoF is way better on Apsc. Not everything has to be in crystal clear focus. Also better dynamic range and lowlight capabilities because of the sensor size. Image quality on a phone is much worse.

>>4238980
depends on what kind of computational shenanigans the iphone 15 pro does. I'm pretty sure it's doing AI de-noise, AI full-frame-like DoF, AI everything. it's 100% faking it, but it looks good, so who cares.

>>4238965
post samples

>>4238987
>it looks good
View on a real screen… not anymore. Some iphone models also do a vibrance boost for iphone photos based on exif.

If iphones looked better than aps-c you would see a huge paradigm shift but it’s actually physically impossible. It’s more possible for an android phone shooting raw, as long as you resize everything to like 1500x1000.

>>4238987
I disagree that the fake stuff looks good. It's over smoothed and the edge detection is still awful. The fake DoF looks like a green screen. But on a more philosophical level, I don't value fake detail nearly as much, even assuming it looks good. Not trying to shit on iPhone; the photos can look pretty if they aren't tuned to hell and back.

I like 28mm - would be nicer if it was a 2.0 or a 1.4 - but then it wouldn't fit into my pocket. It's a classic focal width for a good reason.
Personally I quite like my GRII when I want something truly pocketable - and GRIII's ibis is a compelling addition. The size of this camera is quite liberating, and snap focus is actually fun.

The point isn't being "better" - especially considering how amazing modern AI-powered night modes often are. The point is about having control of the creative process. The ricoh is fun, simple as.

My Samsung S22 only gets near the Ricoh in daylight, anything other than that and it's and over processed mess, not to mention the lack of controls the fact phones artificially brighten everything as well. Also if you want to blow the prints up Ricoh.

I do admit having to baby the Ricoh is frustrating, everything is taped to prevent dust, the video is not great, it's got a lens cap, there's no zoom, there's a bit of a learn curve compared to my RX100 and my G7 Canon...it tends to underexpose and the LCD screen is hard to judge things on. The ring falls off constantly, it's now in place with black tape, like the build quality is frustrating but I feel images like this make it all worth while.

>>4233830
I did a lot of reading into this and basically you're old camera seems superior to my Ricoh, why the fuck did Fuji stop selling that

>>4242523
xf10 only has advantage to gr3 in terms of sensor dust management, infinity to macro focus, built in flash, cost.
gr3 has advantage overall in terms of performance and speed, customization, size, hot shoe.
both have QC issues but it seems gr3 has more.
fuji made a gimped camera catered to women past their instax phase and so xf10 wasn't a success.

Is there something like the GR III but specifically for night shooting?

>it tends to underexpose and the LCD screen is hard to judge things on
What's a histogram? I am shocked that people still expose or edit their images based on their screen. The sensor knows what it sees.

This is exactly the level of feedback you can expect on the Internet. Amateurs who don't know how to use their tools and feel empowered to tell others what they think.

>>4243260
Oh yes very shocking indeed. Amateurs rely on what they see and not what they may or may not interpret out of a graph.

You are full of shit. Besides not all Cameras got a histogram. What kind of retarded argument are you even pulling here?

>>4239536
This is copeposting, as if you can't edit easier and have proRAW instead of a RAW.

>>4243273
>Ricoh GR Thread
>not all Cameras got a histogram
Cope. Enjoy your bad exposure. Every digital camera has a histogram. My phone has a histogram.

>may or may not interpret out of a graph.
What you see on your screen differs drastically from the lighting situation around you. You feel like you manage to read the screen correctly.
Your histogram knows. It has the hard data. It's a representation of the very heart of your apparatus. There is nothing to interpret.

Take a picture with a correct histogram, edit it to your liking in post – you know, with all the exposure range your camera could capture in that moment.

>>4243274
Nobody is coping, I don't want to fuck around on my phone, period. If that's your jam, have at it.

>>4243306
Eh, it's a jpeg histogram in the end. Still useful - and the GR certainly has it.

>>not all Cameras got a histogram
>Cope. Enjoy your bad exposure. Every digital camera has a histogram. My phone has a histogram.
You got a point.

Anyhow
>What you see on your screen differs drastically from the lighting situation around you. You feel like you manage to read the screen correctly.
I know what I see and even if it's false I know it better than the histogram. Surely you get better exposure, but mine suits my needs and what has been fucked up can still be fixed well enough in post.
I tried understanding that histo-thingie, I tried reading it and integrating it in my workflow, but I didn't manage, because after all I didn't care enough.

I mostly use the histogram in complicated lighting, it can be useful. But maxxing the DR is not always the priority, especially in the sorts of situations where GR shines.

>>4233819
I wish they had a 35mm equivalent version of this. neither 28mm nor 40mm are really focal lengths I like. currently I have a 40mm equiv on a m43 and it's not nice :/

>>4243260
I don't know or understand Histograms. I just take photos and memorable moments.

>>4243131
I see, as I said before on the Ricoh LCD screen I am finding things look good but then when I get to my computer it looks too dark. I mostly am going with am EV of 0.7, just feels good to me.

Moment > HiStoRgRaM AnAlYsIS

What I do wonder is how white balance modes affect the images. There is a white balance for 'day light' 'shadows' I wonder if it's impact is significant.

Ther Ricoh manual is like 200 pages long, straight in the bin for me, busy man, high income earner, 0 interest in 200 page operation manuals on a fucking camera.

>don't know or understand Histograms.
Care to learn? It's easy.

Pic related is the first one I found. You might know the terms blacks, shadows … highlights, whites from a post processing app.

The higher the "hill" of the histogram is at any point, the more pixels have this luminancy.
>hill on the left
Dark picture
(is your real life scene not dark, like the scene in the example, but the hill of your histogram is disposed to the left? Then your picture will be underexposed)
>hill in the middle
Evenly light image – this does not mean "correct" exposure in every scene.
>hill on the right
bright image (or overexposed image)

high contrast image

And so on. Switch on the histogram in your camera and study the one in Lightroom or whatever, change your settings and see how the histogram reacts. Walk around with your camera, point it out if the window and so on, you'll get it right away.

>why is this important?
Your histogram represents your sensor. If you trust it, you'll get files that are much easier to work with.
>!
If the left or right side of your hills are clipped (overexposed picture in the example), there is no information being picked up in the sensor. You won't be able to find any detail there and pushed your sensor beyond it's limit.

If you don't use your histogram you don't use your cameras full potential – you might even go on the internet and argue that a phone could compete with a GRIII, without having seen what your GRIII is capable of.

>>4243676
Well explained. I remembered right away.
How to produce high contrast though?

Next time I go out I will remember to use the histogram. Will blend it in right now in my settings. Time to give that bloody thing another shot, hehe.

Fellow xf10 user. The shots are full of character the camera is easily the best in its class in every situation except daytime where the ricoh wins. But I shoot at night indoors alot so that built in flash was the decision maker fo me.

Also the price. Just bought a canon g9x mark 2 and really likeing it so far. Less character and a smaller sensor but holy shit is it compact.

What. why?

So I've had the Canon g9x mark 2 since 2018, I've put it through incredible abuses and it's survvied them all, would of taken THOUSANDS upon thousands of shots. Really decent night time camera and absolutely the smallest once inch sensor on the market.

I sold the Canon for the Ricoh and made this thread aha, at times I think the Ricoh is better and times I miss the auto mode on my Canon a lot, Canon felt alot more durable as well, the Ricoh is a month old and had dust on the sensor twicem, luckily the dust removal tool worked...it's fucking in a bag with a lens cap AND STILL.

The constant need for babying, the worrying about the Ricoh makes me miss the Canon a bit desu. I whipped out my Canon like my cock, whenever I felt like it, the Ricoh...if you read around and look arround, it may be small and portable but it's not at all durable it'd seem.

The Ricoh goes on it's first trip soon, if it doesn't survive the 3 weeks it might have to be a love it and leave it thing.

In this small segmeant of the market I don't know what I'd buy though. I had a Sony RX100 back in the day, the lens gears stopped working but felt like that took some amazing shots, infact I got the Canon after the Sony and the Canon did feel a bit of a small downgrade.

I don;'t know how I ended up with a Ricoh desu, can't even shoot a blue sky from my balcony without DUST ON THE SENSOR. If Ricoh can't stand up for my trip I'll smash it against the wall or sell it, most likely the latter and go back to Sony.

I wouldn't go back to Canon as I have blown some things up for my house and just feel like 20 megapixels...even on my 34 inch monitor is just too low quality, too stuck in the past.

>>4243676
Thank you for this, I'll read it on the weekend, I do know more than I ever known since getting the Ricoh but yeah few things I need to learn. P is Auto mode on Ricoh but P or Auto mode also...SUCKS on Ricoh.

As per the FB groups it's a 6 month wait for a GR 3 in Japan and even longer in Australia I reckon, so they're kinda rare. CRAZY FUJI still isn't in this space, but what can you do.

Is any compact camera actually pushing the envelope though? Not really, most of this stuff is 4-5 years old.

THE photo I posted above is obviously from the CANON GPX MARK 2

There's a crisis of confidence with the GR for me, no cropping, super expensive, SO FRAGILE despite obsessive compulsive precautions, it's very much on trial and in danger of being replaced by superior auto mode and zoom of the RX100.

There's no point being pocketable if you're covered in dust when you're put in a pocket.

Look at the guy with the smash screen, he dropped it knee to ground like what the hell man, it's 2023 no gorilla grass for $1000 cameras?

Anyway, I go overseas in a couple of weeks and if the Ricoh fucks up, if it's constantly covered in dust it'll simply be ditched as my travel cam. Getting tired of trying for something that deliver not much in return


In addition to RX1000 & MK 2 vs Ricoh these cameras, the aforementioned as HEAPS quicker. YOU MISS MOMENTS ON A RICOH being careful with it and FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING around with settings unless you're in a saved program mode, you HAVE TO FUCKING FUCK with settings and not point and shoot because the P mode....sucks donkey dick as I affirmed as someone who has used two other similar cameras of different brands.

anyway, RICOH is sold if it puts one step wrong this trip. IF IT RUINS ONE DAY by having dust or one shot, it's Sony.

I bought the canon because while I can get good shots on the xf10 it is finnicky to operate. The autofocus issues are real and require getting used to. I could get great photos out of it but no one else could and that was an issue for me. I need nice photos of me too :(

I mainly shoot for my social media (so i dont need super high resolution). I'm a tattoo artist so I need to always generate content as I am my own brand. I was going to buy a sony rx100 mark 5 but couldnt find one in good condition at the right price <400

The sony is probably the right choice for you, I'll likely get one as well in a couple of years unless somoene relaeses a new compact with an integrated flash at some point (unlikely)

Your complaints are valid, the ricoh is not really a fast-operating point and shoot cam, despite the designs. When I need to catch the moment, I typically use snap-focus. Set mine for 2.5m and at f8 it gets most things I need.

Every actual camera comes with a big manual, would be weird if GR didn't. RTFM, high earner.

>>4243990
This is somehow overlooked when people look for a compact all-in-one like the Ricoh GR III or the x100v. It's a fantastic combo for street, hiking, etc. It's hard to beat the original M's size, but bumping up to the M5 or M6ii get you IQ and AF advantages and EVF (optional on M6ii).

I think Canon is stupid to discontinue the line. Let RF be the system camera, and EF-M be the compact P&S replacement.

I dunno man, I don't really care if images look like phone images or not. To be honest I don't even know what you mean by that. The photos look like digital photos taken with a 40mm equiv focal length. They're comparable how my xpro3 files looked. I bought it to have a camera, which a phone can't replace due to all the other crap a phone has and entails.

Look at this shit though. Not sure what the jpeg engine is doing but these settings totally fucked things up lmao.

For removing spots in photos guys? I don't want to pay money if that helps.

Getting things from the Ricoh to the phone is such a hassle, really shitty wifi connection that drops constantly and takes an eternity.

I imagine the real problem is that you can't see the damn spots on a phone lmao.

If I don't plan on editing there is no point in keeping Raws right? Again shooting in my break in the city today and the what looks good to go on the Ricoh LCD screen is ALWAYS too dark on my home PC monitor, a real problem, and again another RICOH problem that didn't exist on the Canon, this we have to go into lightroom and fix the exposure. P mode really isn't AUTO mode, it's some kind of slightly less retarded than manual mode.

Look at the whites on this, this is with AWB set to cloudy. Ricoh essentially...essentially...unfrotunently....

Just a dog shit camera, the RX100 MK 2 I had in 2017 was better than this Ricoh garbage and it's almost 2024

>>4245804
The sky is the building, fucking ricoh honestly what a fucking load fucking shit for a fucking $1400 camera, Galaxy pics look way better

There's a learning curve attached to the camera, I've pretty much got there but it was a flat waste of time. Lol at learning anything for this camera. It's never once out performed my S23, NOT ONCE.

Anyway, don't buy a Ricoh folks, it's bigger and more fragile than the Canon, the colours are worse, it's fragile, it has a dust problem IT CANNOT DEAL WITH GREY SKIES, it can't even fucking record in 4k, it can't zoom, the LCD screen is tits and can't even help you get an exposure. WHAT THIS MEANS is EVERY SINGLE shot you take, you have to go back and edit, in addition to all the playing around to take the shot. Shitty cam that is not worth the effort, or the time.

I am selling it and GETTING A FUCKING REAL CAMERA, BY A REAL BRAND.

never change, 4chin

It's sharp (though not as sharp as say the x100v) and I like the zone focusing on it quite a bit. Sold it when i moved back to Sicily since the dust here is something else. But my 2 award winning pics were taken on it some years back. The dust and screen are only real complaints.

The xf10 is nice as throwaway cam but cant compete with either the GR or any modern x trans sensor/lens combo.

>>4246233
I see, yeah I continue to be underwhelmed with my Ricoh, it's China time now so will have to learn on the go, I anticipate hundreds of dud shots from my travels and 2-3 real gems which is basically the way the Ricoh has performed for 2 months now, there is no auto mode on this and if there is it's so fucking useless it might as well be manual mode.

I am firmly of the opinion that the Ricoh GR 3 will not last this holiday, will be sold and I'll end up with a RX100MK7

What do you guys think of the Canon PowerShot G1X ?
The sensor is slightly bigger than aps-c, comes with 14mp

you do realize ''sony colors'' hasnt been a thing since october 2020 aka since a7slll release? all cameras released after a7slll aka after october 2020 do not have the green tint issue or any kind of color issue at all. matter fact, sony now has more accurate colors than canon, almost on pair with nikon (provided youre not using a shit samyang, sigma or tamron lens that gives you a magenta/red tint) now all they need to do is work on their product quality, so the shutters dont break every 2 months and they will be a best buy in almost every price range

>>4246815
>RX100MK7
I've had one of those small 1-inch sony cams just before the GR (though dont ask me which one since they all named like airplane engine parts)
HATED the oversharpened out of camera look but the continuous autofocous was virtually perfect and i could snap in on someone while walking towards them and know 90% of the shots will just fine.
The gr has wonderful zone focusing if you only learn to use it.

Ricoh marketers are making these threads because higher-ups refuse to greenlight a true successor to the GX200
They either fired or had the Yakuza murder all the devs who could manage to make an APS-C compact with zoom and EVF
They decided 26mp with no AA, a built-in EVF, and a 24-70 equivalent lens is too much to give to their customer

>>4247115
This thing has the same tiny sensor as the Pentax Q-S1. Now granted, I really love the image quality coming out of my Q-S1, but everyone else would shit on it and no one would buy it. There's just no way Ricoh can develop a version of this camera with APS-C sensor without charging $2800 MSRP. They just can't.

Why do people who actually own the cameras always say this is wrong and you just have dpreview test shots with the default ACR color profile to fall back on
>wrestling against your raws
Copying and pasting white balance and saving a default profile that isn’t bad (or just not using shitroom) is standard raw editing for every camera. Not exactly wrestling which is what i need to do to correct canon’s reds, yellows, and greens in photoshop.

>>4247242
It is. Unless you mean Canon's APS-C isn't real APS-C because it's 1.6x crop rather than 1.5x. Still it shows it's doable. That said I prefer the Mark II with its 1.5 inch sensor because the lens is much faster and has a wider zoom range. Even with the higher resolution sensor of the G1X III you don't get more reach.

>>4247102
I paid $1400 for a camera which despite being sealed with gaffa tape and having a lens protector has dust showing up in images after 6 weeks, utterly unacceptable, now have to resign myself to editing every picture the Ricoh fucks.

>>4247247
Altogether, it's still quite a lot larger than that ricoh gx200, especially in the depth (25mm vs 62mm). But yes, an impressive achievement.

I got one for 500 2 years ago. LOVE this camera, desu I wish I had the GrIIIx though since I live in texas and almost get jumped a couple times doing street with the grIII

>>4245804
If it takes 5 minutes for settings you are just a bad photog sorry bro... there are presets and multiple settings to lock in. If you shot film ever the Ricoh is literally cake, but your post sounds like you can only shoot automatic.

>>4247359
Well, you overexposed this one a little, but I think I see where you were going with it. Cool travel snap desu. Might be able to reprocess it into something interesting if you still have the raw.

>>4247237
If Canon can make this, it should be easy for Ricoh to make something of similar size with a fixed 16-50mm lens, possibly even smaller of a body considering how small the GR is for its sensor

the GR is small for its sensor precisely because it has a fixed focal length. no way in hell "it should be easy for Ricoh". Canon is a fucking optics giant with more R&D and know-how than Ricoh. If Canon, Sony, or Nikon can't do it, Ricoh definitely can't.
Furthermore compare say a Pentax DA 40 Limited vs a DA 20-40 Limited. Look how easy it is for Ricoh to make high quality single focal length pankcake lens and then see it's size increase massively when they make it into a zoom lens of similar quality and focal range.

Hi, I shoot on Ricoh GR I can tell you whats wrong. You have highlight automatic setting on. Turn off the auto adjust for it, it is a separate setting that is on by default. also you have f.4.5 for a midday shot?? TRASH PHOTOG

The G1XIII's lens is small because it's a 2.8-5.6, even full-frame film cameras did this, having a sizeable step down in aperture was necessary to create a small zoom camera

>actually buying the pale version
I have the black version and think that it is much less conspicuous when shooting in dark aleyways

My original GR went everywhere with me for years. truly pocketable, apsc, the pop up flash was magnificent. probably my favourite ever camera. did several daily photo projects with it and now have some pictures that over time have become more meaningful (to me) than any photo i've taken on a bigger camera etc.
since it's kicked the bucket it's hard to resist just going for the GRIII. as long as I don't cave and buy a Leica Q.
fuck me, there are just too many cameras.

i would have scooped one up instantly if the grip didn't have that curve. such a shame. the design is so clean otherwise

>>4239530
very nice. looks like santa cruz

I have had this camera a month so let add a few things

-Dust on the lens every second time
-Didn't work on a mountain despite being a travel cam
-No weather sealed
-Hugely expensive and fragile
-No a point and shoot, the basic settings are fucking horrible and you always need to go through an intense process to take one shot but by the time you go through that process the shot is gone
-Firmware updates like Windows 98
-No good auto mode, P mode is trash
-Can't shoot clouds unless you underexpose then edit to right exposure

HATE this camera, willfully leaving it without a case and chucked in my bag atm as I have 0 respect for the camera. If ti did break it'd just be another special Ricoh thing. I wish I got the RXMK7

Time and labor intensive as well.

>I have had this camera a month so let add a few things
I own two (GRIII + GRIIIx) for years so I feel entitled to reply.

>-Dust on the lens every second time
Dust is everywhere around you. Never had any issues with my pictures. Still none on my sensor.
>-Didn't work on a mountain despite being a travel cam
What does that even mean? I climbed several mountains with it.
>-No weather sealed
Yet I climbed several mountains with it.
>-Hugely expensive and fragile
Yes.
>-No a point and shoot, the basic settings are fucking horrible and you always need to go through an intense process to take one shot but by the time you go through that process the shot is gone
I'm taking pictures in slit seconds. Don't blame the camera for your lack of abilities to use it properly.
>-Firmware updates like Windows 98
No.
>-No good auto mode, P mode is trash
P mode is trash with every camera. I'm using A like every self-respecting person.
>-Can't shoot clouds unless you underexpose then edit to right exposure
What are you talking about? Are you using P mode again? Do you know what a histogram is and how to work with it?

>HATE this camera, willfully leaving it without a case and chucked in my bag atm as I have 0 respect for the camera. If ti did break it'd just be another special Ricoh thing. I wish I got the RXMK7
Why don't you? Somebody would be glad to use the camera.

>Time and labor intensive as well.
What?

You sound like an idiot and don't seem to be able to operate your camera. Yet you go on the internet and complain about it. I think you should get another hobby.

If your photo doesnt work on its own, its not gonna work by making it smaller and filling the frame with white space.

We don’t like instagram here and neither does anywhere with a triple digit average IQ because IG = facebook = zuckerberg. He is actively working to degrade society. None of my friends use any meta products anymore except for whatsapp.

These financial elites have a drug dealers mentality where they dont think they can ever be wrong for selling heroin, because whoever is buying is the real problem. Only heroin is sexual objectification and degradation mixed with unrealistic body standards and trendster tribalism turning our youth into perverted idpol extremists.

>>4251733
IGs algorithms are engineered to draw people into echo chambers. It’s really pretty vile. They don’t even pick a side, they host ak-toting rad left murder trannies and body building alt right horse marrying zoophiles on the same server with pride.

Into the echo chambers made of short loud and flashy videos that beat down thought itself. And away from photography. Becase IG is not a photography site. It’s like tiktok, a threat neutralization propaganda site.

One aspect not mentioned, yet: Ricoh GRs are great for concerts because they don't count as 'pro gear' and you can just set the focus to infinity.
