class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>No RICOH GR digital camera is meant to last more than 2-3 years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, my RICOH GR III recently went kaput. Really bad &#8212; 90% of the time when I turn it on, it says &#8216;lens error&#8217; and refuses to focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I should send it in to get fixed by Ricoh, but sending it in is such a pain in the ass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus I spent some time thinking and considering &#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>What new camera should I get?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Even though the iPhone is great, I think to barbell is better&#8211; just get the iPhone for the phone function (minimum viable phone), and get the camera as a specialized niche device (RICOH).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a simple thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The RICOH GR is superior 1000x ergonomically to the iPhone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iPhone \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 not as quick in terms of &#8216;quick draw&#8217; when comparing taking out my RICOH GR and quickly snapping a shot. The RICOH is far better at quickly turning on, and shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas the iPhone, even though there is a camera button on the Home Screen, it is slower. Perhaps a good future iPhone Camera innovation could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Raise to wake&#8221; becomes &#8220;Raise to photograph&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like the idea if there was a function in which you raised your iPhone, it would automatically go into camera mode (you could customize this in the iPhone settings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why go on adventures?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div

skills in photography, you must expose yourself to more photo opportunities. This is where road trips are good, going to the local mall, going to the downtown, going on trips, travels, weekend excursions, etc is good for photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Randomness, chance and unknown and uncertain situations awaken the inner-genius photographer within you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus when in doubt, get out of the house. Try to walk 30,000 steps a day, go on a quick hike, go on a weekend AirBnb trip somewhere, and make photography the modus operandi of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ERIC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/shop\/\">HAPTIC PHOTO SUPPLY<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/eric-kim-hand-strap\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"787\" data-attachment-id=\"355040\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/ek065568-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1707&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;RICOH GR III&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1645140058&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;ERIC KIM&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"THIS IS A CAMERA STRAP: ERIC KIM WRIST STRAP MARK II\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;THIS IS A CAMERA STRAP: ERIC KIM WRIST STRAP MARK II&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1707&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?resize=1180%2C787&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"haptic industries Eric Kim THIS IS A CAMERA STRAP\" class=\"wp-image-355040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?resize=920%2C613&amp;ssl=1 920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EK065568-scaled.jpeg?w=2360&amp;ssl=1 2360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>THIS IS A CAMERA STRAP: <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/eric-kim-hand-strap\/\">ERIC KIM WRIST STRAP MARK II<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photographic supplies to motivate your photography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/the-photographers-wallet\/\">ERIC KIM WALLET<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/muse\/\">MUSE by KIM<\/a><\/li><li>Travel Notes, <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/travel-notes-mobile\/\">Mobile Edition (OPEN)<\/a> \/\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/travel-notes-print\/\">PRINT<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/eric-kim-neck-strap\/\">ERIC KIM NECK STRAP MARK II<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/eric-kim-hand-strap\/\">ERIC KIM WRIST STRAP MARK II<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/street-photography-starter-kit\/\">STREET PHOTO STARTER KIT<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/henri-shoulder-strap\/\">HENRI SHOULDER STRAP<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/product\/henri-neck-strap\/\">HENRI NECK STRAP MARK IV<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/shop\/\">Discover all HAPTIC PHOTO SUPPLY &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thoughts on Leica M11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/photography\/cameras\/m\/m11-black\">Leica M11<\/a> is out; and some thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Unfortunate how the M11 is visually indistinguishable from the M10.
