This little gem is the Ricoh GRiiix. It was released in 2019 and boasts an APS-C sensor in this tiny body. I acquired mine about 1.5 years ago and its my most used camera. But why should you own one?
1. Image quality
The APS-C sensor is paired with an impressively engineered 7-element glass lens and 24 MP. You can shoot In both RAW and JPEG.
2. Easy to use
The camera has a lot of automatic or semi-automatic functions which makes it perfect for most people. Also for those who want to get more creative and want full control. The touch screen focus is also really fast and easy to use.
3. Fast from shot to share
Similar to the fuji xv-series this camera can be used with a set of customizable film recipes, which look amazing. While at the same time you can also shoot raw, so if the recipe didn’t work or is not what you want it to be, you can change it all, without losing data. The pictures can be downloaded to your phone via an app in full quality.
4. It is really small
The Ricoh is so small it fits in every pocket, jeans, jackets, small pouches in bags. It is also really light so it is also easy to take with you. For me this is the main selling point. I often don’t want to carry a lot of stuff and I ended up missing spontaneous pictures because of it. Now I always carry a camera with me!
5. It’s customizable
Different to many other small cameras it is possible to put filters on this body, for example a black pro mist or glimmerglass from Tiffen. They also help take the digital edge of which, in my opinion, makes the film recipes even better!
