A Ricoh GR form factor with a telephoto lens?
jon_kobeck1 replied to jon_kobeck1's topic in Mirrorless Digital Cameras
So, I went with the GR IIIx I will report back. I had the 3 and loved it but didn't like the wide lens. Perhaps the 40mm will be better -

The G1X from 2013 is small with a fixed zoom and has a 1.5 inch sensor but it's from 2013! The new version G1XIII is much larger. -

I am interested in a P&S with a fixed zoom. The ones above are larger cameras. I need something that fits in the pocket like this one. Which is a 1 inch sensor -

The Lumix LX10 seems to have the largest sensor in a point and shoot zoom that I can find. If I was going with a pime p&s it would be the Ricoh -

I just looked at it. The specs say 1" stacked sensor. -

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems the largest sensor to be found in a P&S zoom would be a 1 inch sensor. -

Yea me too! Phone is too big and heavy. Impossible to use single handed. But good images -

I have a Samsung s22 Ultra. That also has a great camera. But I rarely use it. -

Thanks. I will check out the Canon. I was thinking the Leica glass on the Lumix would be nice though. -

Well said -
My favorite camera is the Ricoh GR III. It does it all for my work, and I have had full frame cameras in the past.. Now if it only had a zoom. So I was looking at the Lumix line, some of the cameras in the same form factor and weight. Maybe an LX10? I know the sensor doesn't compare. What about the Lumix LX 100 II? Still not the same sensor as the Ricoh but decent specs. But it looks a little bulky compared to the Ricoh. I sold my magical Fuji X100s because I felt it was too clunky for me. The Ricoh really spoiled me as it fir in my shirt pocket. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I finally figured out to to check for shutter actuations. It has 8, including the few that I shot off last night to test (probably 8) I thought the rear screen has some smudges on it but not really sure. Those screens seem to always have shadows at certain angles. Someone mentioned the open box. Like I said, it cane in the box, Im just not sure if it is supposed to have a sealed plastic wrap over the box.

I ordred a new Ricoh GR II new from Amazon Prime and just received. this was sold and shipped from Amazon. Im suspicious it may be used, or a returned item. Are there any ways to tell? The box wasn't sealed, but I'm not sure if they come sealed in plastic wrap from the factory. There were a few air bubbles behind the screen protector, as if it may have been removed and latter replaced. Perhaps Im just being a little OCD

I want something as small as a P&S for street work. I was going to order the Coolpix S7000 but read a review about slow AF. Anyone know if this is true? Any of the other Coolpix pocket cameras a better choice?
