Is anyone else hoping Ricoh releases a GRD IV ?
Hey Mike.... Don here...
Yeah, I'm waiting to see if there's a new GRD coming out. The original was the best. Somewhat slower but IQ great.
For the moment, I'm hanging in with the Nex.
I keep thinking about the GRD 3 but waiting to see what comes along in the next few months...
Welcome aboard....
I would be interested to learn about it, but, really, what else can it bring beyond the GRD3? It is still a small sensor. Add the ability to use the EVF from the GXR and it might get interesting. Although an EVF was available for the GX100/200 and Ricoh so far has not chosen to add it to the GRD line. I know a lot of folks would like a return to the GRD1 JPG processing engine, but with today's higher MP sensors is that even possible?
Don where you in the subway concourse today around noon ?
I'll be getting a GRD III soon if I don't hear anything about a GRD IV.
Not yesterday but I think Ray was. I'll be down underground again Sat morning.
Have you seen the group near the Plaza? There must be almost 100......
I saw someone down the with a silver NEX.
Looks like I will be getting a GRD III when i go up to NYC next week.
Michael, that was almost certainly me. I was all over the place between the Gallery, Reading Terminal, City Hall, Suburban Station, Rittenhouse Square, and many of the streets in that general area from about 9:15 until about 1:15, when I caught a train back out of town. I was probably in the concourse around noon. And yet somehow I managed to miss the labor rally at City Hall...
BTW, this is me trying to show Don the proper way to hold a Nex cool, so if the photo helps you tell if it was me you saw... And the next link is a some of what I shot in the city yesterday...

I agree with you Matt. In fact I find it hard to believe they could make a 4 better than the 3.
These engineer types know how to botch up a good thing.
