Ricoh GR

I never know that I could be so studious when buying a thing. I never put so much effort in exploring an item that I want to buy. After considering for a month,  reading blog online and review, going to shops to talk to different sales and compare prices, I change my choices from Song A3000, to Olympics EPL7, to  Canon G7X vs Song RX100M3, then Ricoh GR.

 At the final stage, I struggle between Canon G7X and Ricoh GR. G7X is newly issued and is now in price $3580. 1’’ sensor, gd quality image, can selfie and wiifi transmission, very attractive. But I just hopelessly being attracted by the photos of GR.

It is the smallest pocket size camera in APSC sensor. The photos are terrific and the image quality is so good that it can touch my heart. But it is an advanced camera and more suitable to one who is experienced in photography. Also, the camera was promoted in market in 2013 already so it is relatively old. The price is over$4600 and need to buy the electricity charge stand and protection sticker yourself.G7X is at least HK$1000 cheaper than GR. I worry that I waste the good camera as it is too advanced and I may not know how to make good use of it. Also, some people said it had bad focus in dim night…….

At last, I bought GR on 22 May 2015 at Mong Kok. I just can’t forget the quality of image of it since I saw it at Katrina’s home at Shanghai when the guy Google took it out. I like the belief of Ricoh, the low-key appearance, the small and convenience, and most importantly, the good quality of image.

In the process of preparing interview in IO and buying camera, I finally know why my life is so mediocre. These 2 cases are the only thing that I try so hard to prepare and the thing that I really want it. Before that, I never know that one should put so much effort in a thing.Even when I choose the university, or stream to study, I never investigate so deep and put so much time in it. I feel shamed of that.

The most expensive toy I bought,,,,,,
