Will the price of Ricoh gxr gradually drop in the short term? Is P10 fixed focus or zoom? I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of P10 and S10! I just want to learn photography

1. Personally, I feel that it will not decline in the short term.

2. P10 has a 10x zoom.

3. How should I put it... Although I am a fan of Ricoh, to be honest, the price-performance ratio of the two lens units of P10 and S10 is really not bad! The biggest problem is that both models use small DC photosensitive elements, the P10 is 1/2.3 inches and the S10 is 1/1.7 inches. Currently, the GXR+P10 is about 3700, and the GXR+S10 is more than 4000. This price can completely buy a single-cell camera. The performance of a single-cell camera is not comparable to that of a unit like the P10... To put it bluntly, the P10 is a The mid-end telephoto DC is similar to the Ricoh CX5; the S10 is similar to the Ricoh classic GX200, which is the flagship DC. In terms of image quality, the S10 unit is of course better because the sensor is larger and the wide-angle end is powerful.

So with a sufficient budget of about 4,000, it is still not recommended to buy GXR, as the price/performance ratio is relatively low. You can try mirrorless/DSLR cameras like the Panasonic G2, or flagship DC cameras like the Panasonic LX5 and Canon G12. These cameras are much better than the GXR+P10.

The essence of GXR is mainly the two A12 units, the Ricoh GR lens and the APS-C format sensor. Apart from poor macro, the functions are quite powerful - but too expensive, more than 7,000, both. It’s the price of a mid-range SLR.
