One Month One Camera – Feb 2020 (III) – Ricoh GRD III Summary

So this month I've been using just the wonderful Ricoh GR Digital III.

One Month One Camera – Feb 2020 (II) – Ricoh GR Digital III – Lost For Words?

This month in my One Month One Camera project I've returned to an old favourite, the Ricoh GR Digital III.

If You Had Just £20, Which Camera Would You Buy?

As you probably know, I'm quite a fan of the bargain used camera, and in the last couple of years, for me that's meant 5-15 year old digital cameras, mostly compacts. I've found at least a dozen that cost me less then a decent meal, which produced photographs I'm happy with, and been fun to… Continue reading If You Had Just £20, Which Camera Would You Buy?
