New Point and Shoot

 

I just got a new point-and-shoot camera that fits in my pocket.  I like cameras with big sensors and have never been an iPhone user.  I already had a small waterproof point-and-shoot (Olympus TG6) but it has a sensor that is barely bigger than that in an iPhone.  It takes grainy pictures.  I wanted something tiny but with a big sensor.  And so I got the Ricoh GRIIIx.  It has a fixed 41 focal length and a relatively huge APSc sensor.  From what I researched on the internet it is basically the only camera option that fits in your pocket and that also has an APSc or bigger sensor.

My other cameras are all on the compact side but none of them fit in my pocket.  They are always swinging around on a strap from around my neck.  Great cameras but slightly inconvenient, and I will still use them.  But I just wanted something small that still takes good pictures.  Something that I always have in my pocket.  And so far I think the GRIIIx is pretty good.

It takes sharp pictures that edit and touch up well.  It also takes pretty nice macro close up photos.  It is pretty easy to use and does not have an overload of menus and options.  So far so good!
