Hip Shot
Test shot from my new Ricoh GX100. I picked one up largely on the basis of the high-iso B+W output I’ve been seeing on the web, and the noise does look better than most of the compacts out there - almost like film grain. Obviously in color I’ve been sticking to ISO 80-200.
The ’snap mode’ setting for focus works quite well - DOF is huge on these small-sensor cameras, so I’ve programmed one of the two user settings to be B+W, iso 400, and snap mode - call it my street photography default. Ongoing output can be seen on my Flickr photostream.
