(Ricoh GX200)What if the subject turns back and finds out that I am shooting? This is the perpetual question hanging over the head whenever the author takes such candid street shots. The nervousness speaks itself even louder when the shots are done head-on. A mitigating remedy is to use a camera with a sub-APC-S/ sub-MFT sensor, which gives the right mix of good IQ and a more extensive DOF. The DOF advantage is indispensible as the street shot photographer usually doesn't have the luxury to do the exposure combo while minding the adequate DOF in response to a photography opportunity. For that matter, the like of the GRD IV still has a market amid the keen competition from the mirror-less models.
Hong Kong is selling the black GRD IV at HK$5,000, and the white limited edition at HK$6,000 plus. With an extra HK$400, owners are entitled to choose from one of the three "skins" for the bulge. Fitting is free of charge.
