I'm ready to go small.
Should I get anything else than a Ricoh GRV?

Goto gear thread!Enjoy your dust.
You can look out for Coolpix A or Fuji x100 series.
Now you can delete the thread.

been using a GR for over two years and I have had no problems with dust. I get that some people have tho.

IMO it's the best pocket camera.

Same, I've had my Ricoh GR since the day it came out and not had any dust problems. Taken it hiking with me every time I've gone somewhere too.

really, /p/ is shilling for the Coolpix A now, a camera with really shitty controls compared to a GR, and a less sharp lens, that was so unpopular it's not even made anymore?

I am not getting it, either. Even Daido switched back to the GR after he got a Coolpix A from Nikon for his work.

>>2714518
GR of course.

Yes. I usually store it in a small microfiber pouch to keep the dust/lint out.

I like to carry mine in a Lowepro Dashpoint 20 case. It's a really easy in- easy out case with a wide zipper mouth, and it's big enough that you can still fit the GR in there if you have the filter adapter on it and an Arca-Swiss tripod mount.

Good dust and rain protection.

Jacket pocket if I'm wearing a jacket. If not then in a backpack or something, it's not really small enough for a pants pocket.

Can someone explain the dust meme. Does dust easily get into the lens or on the sensor, if so why?

+1 for the GR, would recommend getting an optical viewfinder though, especially if you're used to using an SLR. The Olympus VF-1 cost me like $35 oz bux used and it's perfect

Dust gets on the sensor less easily than an interchangeable lens camera, but unlike the ILC, you can't take the Ricoh GR (or similar any other fixed lens camera) apart to blow the dust off yourself. So if you ended up with really bad dust you'd need to send it in for repair.

Yeah I know, quite a story, yawn.

Yeah you can disassemble the camera and pull out the sensor and clean it.

Or you could just take pictures with the damn camera and not worry about it because it's a nonissue.

You really don't need anything else. Great camera.

That depends on what version of firmware you have, Pentax already belonged to Ricoh before the GR came out. I think earlier firmware versions will say PENTAX RICOH and later ones just say RICOH, if I remember right.

Ricoh bought out Pentax, not the other way around.

And the oldest GR's said "Pentax Ricoh" as the company name in the exif, because that acquisition occurred before it came out.

Later, Ricoh decided to change the merged company name to just Ricoh, so later cameras just said "Ricoh" as the company name in exif.

Of course if you upgrade your firmware, that updates as well.

oof that's a bad one. I have a little tiny bit on mine but you can only barely make it out when it focuses to infinity (for some reason). Maybe try cleaning it yourself, I've heard it's not too hard

You probably spent longer typing out that post complaining about the dust than it would've taken you to clone out that one single spot.
