But in the world of multi-lens camera phones the wider appeal of this fixed lens compact will probably be limited.
SMALL DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA UPDATE
GR fans, or GRists as Ricoh call them, will love this update of an iconic camera. However, its specs and its performance are now looking a little behind the curve compared to its latest rivals. The Ricoh GR has a long history, both as a premium-quality compact 35mm film camera and now as a digital model. It doesn't have the same quality viewfinder as the RX100 VII or the longer zoom range, but it produced high-quality images, even better at video and best of all, it'll cost you less. It has a vari-angle, rear tilting screen that means it's perfect for recording yourself or taking selfies and it comes with a mic-wind shield which means its audio quality even with the built-in mic is still pretty good. The SteadyShot active stabilization wasn't the best however the autofocus is very impressive. It too has the poplar zoom range of 24-70mm with a variable aperture of f/1.8 - f/2.8 however, there is a big change in minimum focusing distance as you zoom which is annoying especially if you're using it to record video. Where this camera excels is the controls, rear screen and the body. If you've used one of the RX100's, the sensor and lens will probably be quite familiar. Aimed at vloggers, the Sony ZV-1 might just look like another variant from the RX100 range but in reality, it's so much more.
