As an avid user of the same camera, I share this recommendation. While my iPhone sure is able of capturing some moments pretty well, the Ricoh is still way more capable and ergonomic. It is built by people who understand how do design that follows the need of their users and seems to be less concerned with bigger-is-better-marketing-number-games. Basically any parameter can be controlled with the same hand that holds the camera (I really tried it, shooting a moving target with pretty dynamic lighting while riding my bike [1]). I think that phones are lacking the haptic feedback is prohibitive to building muscle memory.

Also, people tend to react differently to a point-and-shoot camera than to a phone camera or a DSLR in my experience. That is because it feels less likely that the pictures end up on social media I’ve been told on request.

Great work! I have had the same reactions. The camera seems much less threatening than a DSLR. I've been able to carry it anywhere in the world without anyone batting an eye.

I actually used the macro function to shoot this abstract photo on my homepage: https://daniel.fo

Awesome portfolio! It’s always impressive to see what can be achieved with this little thing.
