Hey guys, im new to SC, just posted something a little while ago i think, but im definitely not new to mu43 forum!....though i thought this question would make more sense here than on the other side of the pond.
Ive been wondering to get a Ricoh GRD IV for quite long time, actually, found about m43 (I currently own an OMD and bunch of glass which im more than happy with it) at the beginning of this year while looking for Ricoh's. Yes, ive had one in hand, but just played in the photo store two or three times with it.
everything is perfect but im worried about the sensor. how good or bad this is. also theres not much information about this cameras. Personally coming from FF gear smaller cropped sensors below m43...hmmm....me no likey.
I would like to get one, just as a snap camera, and almost dedicated to its wonderful black and white features. but the sensor somehow keeps me away from it.
Ive also been wondering on the film version of the camera the GR1/s/v. not the 21 cause im not going to pay $1.5k for it. But again, since im living in NZ film here its almost prohibiting expensive to develop, and some chinese corner labs, would do it for a reasonable price, but then, terrible results. So also wondering on home developing my film but again have to buy all the chemicals locally since no one can ship em overseas.
Do you guys know anything about the GRD V coming in the next year or so?. or should i just jump on the IV and never look back?. or maybe just forget about it?
suggestions, advice, tips, etc are moooooore than welcome guys!.
