Another Ricoh GR user - my 1st gen is still going strong nearly after 10 years. Still love the image quality. Almost upgraded to a GRIII last year (mostly for IS), but decided to stick with the one I have.
I bought the GR after my RX100 failed (stuck lens mechanism) because I wasn't careful about where I stored it on a bike ride (fairly obvious but don't let your camera sit in a bag that comes into contact with a frame tube). My favorite features of the RX100 were the pano mode and the custom self-timer (basically a built in intervalometer). I sometimes stick my EOS R with a small lens in a waist pack, but usually bring the GR in a stem bag or handlebar bar bag (just no contact with the bike!). -Dave On Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 1:49:37 PM UTC-4 Bones wrote: > I typically leave my phone home when I go out for rides, unless I’m > commuting to work.
