Ricoh GXR!

Updated mine yesterday.

When shooting in RAW only mode, somehow image playback on cam LCD is limited to x3.4 max magnification and image looks pixelated and out of focus, but looks perfectly ok on PC. In RAW+Fine mode, max magnification can go up to x16 and image looks sharp on LCD. Seems like RAW playback has some flaw, anyone encounter same issue?

Yup mine is the same.

Hmm, just when I was about to give a thumbs up for feature 8. :what:

Wish they will include multiple exposures just like what GRD 4 has.
 

Hey guy, first time gonna share some photos taken with the GXR here. I love the GXR a lot because it's awesome and it's a great camera for HDR too (handheld). I nearly sold the system away the past few days however something stopped me from doing so and I have fallen in love with it once again =)

You should have coz it's not M, it's 24-85mm equivalent A16 zoom with kit lens speed :bsmilie:

Yeah I know. But I don't have funds to get both. I'm getting the A16 first. So far I'm very much contented with my 50mm module, so the mount can wait. :)

Oic, not so keen with this more of prime user. There were rumors initially of A16 M, perhaps it's not true anymore.

I'm definitely going to get the mount, not just any time soon. Hopefully an A16 M is in the works. And an updated VF! :)

I was thinking of an update for the body. If priced well, has integrated EVF, I will also get it as a second body for the gxr modules. If they include a better buffer, better screen (see GRD IV), I am sure lots may be enticed .. ;-)

Thanks, Mr Khaw, for the update.

The sample pictures from this module shows that it's capable of amazing resolution and details (imo better than most makes). And the fact that it starts at 24mm, makes it really good for a travel setup. 24 - 85 is like 16-55 which is a range better than most kits lenses from most makes. And it looks like a good size setup (smaller than a NEX with Kit?).

I am getting lazier these days ... and bringing with me lots of gear isn't my cup of tea. So the GXR system is actually an interesting alternative to what's out there. I hope they continue this way even after becoming Pentax Ricoh.

You must have very good relationship with the staff at A&P. Do you have any indication from them what will be the RRP?

I wish they could add choice of colors on focus assist for mode one manual focus so we can try colors like red or blue so we can adjust according to the colors we are shooting and focus easiler. Double exposure is indeed a must hv!

Build in vef, good to have but i dont think its that important as it could end up a bulky machine.
 

hi all,

there is no RRP yet when i called an outlet to ask. they told me they have placed orders and will get them end of this month and call me once it arrives.
 


Nice skintones and sharpness, are the lens wide open? can share your skintone processing if any? thanks!

Me! lag is rather bad...either a better evf or integrated...

Mostly 2-2.8, wide open too difficult to focus. Skin tone processing nope.... I usually slightly lower the saturation.
