image ^GRDIII at F1.9, 1/14s, ISO 154

Now that the GRDIII is piling up in shops for sale, the Japanese photograph compatriots are coming up with photos on the Internet.  Besdies the useful links put up by Pavel of ricohforum.com, the following tables should make good reference for you fellows who are inquisitive, puzzled or ticklish at every new camera.

Reference Shots

The first table  mainly shows photos taken with the GRDIII at f1.9 and/or high ISO (some shots are of the same scene at various ISOs).  The photos are at reduced size but give an idea of how the new camera performs in these two areas:

Aperture full open f1.9 1/3s (f2.8  1/2s;  f4  1s;  f5.6  2s;  f8  3s; f9 4s)
  f1.9  1/20s at ISO 100 (f1.9  1/50s at ISO 200)
  f1.9  1/270s at ISO64 (f2.5  1/143s at ISO64)
   
  f1.9  1/15s at ISO 154
High ISO f1.9  1/1000s at ISO400
  f1.9  1/48s at ISO400
  f1.9  1/32s at ISO 383
  f1.9  1/39s at ISO400
   
Good reference shots at other values
f5.6  1/500s at ISO 64
  f4  1/250s at ISO64
  f5.6  1/500s at ISo100
  f5.6  1/640s at ISO100
   

 

Comparative shots

The following table puts together photos of the same night scene.  The CX1 is included to give an idea of how the two most recent cameras from Ricoh compare with each other.  And how GRDIII fares as  compared with E-P1 and DPs at high ISO IQ?

New Low Prices

By
The window shopping some hours ago has almost provoked my AgIDS illness.  Just in case you’re in Hong Kong or are coming here, and have the money to burn (All in HK$/ body only): GX200 = $3,280 GRD2 = $3,380 LX3 = $3,180 G10 = $3,280 Prices are available form a gear shop on the 1st floor of the Mongkok Computer Centre.   Besides these new low prices, I found that Wing Shing Photo (55-57Sai Yeung Choi St., MK Tel: 2396 6886/ 91-95 Fa Yuen St., MK  Tel: 2396 6885) is offering a Sony A700 + Carl Zeiss Lens package for HK$9,980 (hopefully, a bargain will make it some hundreds cheaper).

Final Verdicts: GF2 in Action

By
(The rest of the GF2 review posts can be found here ) It is widely believed that the GF2 is a paradoxical downward-upgrade version of the GF1. So, after all the discussions of its bells and whistles, how does it perform in reality? First things first. Which or what kind of cameras should we measure the GF2 against for that matter? We believe that potential buyers of the GF2, maybe except for serial fad chasers and the diehard loyalists, are attracted by its smallness in size with a larger sensor to achieve better image quality, especially at ISO 800 or above. However, given the less satisfactory handling with for example just one dial, the GF2 cannot assume the place of a primary camera. Put together, these assumptions suggest that the GF2 is more suited to be used as a backup camera for social and street shots. Let's grill the GF2 on this basis. In the Hand An obvious merit of the GF2 is size. It feels much less bulky in the hand than the GF1 or the NX100, and just lik...

Dressing Up

By
(Camera: Ricoh GX200) On the street, a group of Chinese tourists are waiting for probably pick-up. With oblivion to the surrounding, this man changes his vest for an unknown reason to the author taking the opportunity to do a snap shot of the scene of an indecent taste.  The increasingly common sights, or eyesores considered by some, of people squatting in front of shops or in the thoroughfares, together with more billboards written in simplified Chinese, seem to push this international city towards the Chinese characteristics of the Mainland cities. The other day when the author visited the the aquarium and panda's home in the Ocean Park, there were, among the swamps of tourists, conspicuous signs saying, "Keep Quiet" and "Don't Use Flash".  The management of the Park has obviously deployed a much bigger troop of attendants to carry the signs around. On one occasion, one of those attendants was so annoyed that she went up to a tourist and made a big long...
