Best Film-Like Digital Camera? Ricoh GRD4 CCD ISO + Long Exposure Test

Описание: Exploring the Ricoh GR Digital IV – ISO Tests & Long Exposure Performance

In this video, we dive deep into the performance of the Ricoh GR Digital IV, a cult classic compact camera from 2011 that features a 10-megapixel CCD sensor. Revered for its film-like rendering and unique color response, this camera still holds a special place in the hearts of street photographers and compact camera enthusiasts.

Today’s test covers two major areas:

1. ISO Performance & Modern Processing
We begin by evaluating how the GRD IV handles various ISO settings. You’ll see the same image shot at ISO 80, 200, and 400, giving us a clear look at how this CCD sensor renders tone, color, and detail across different lighting scenarios. We’ll be paying close attention to chromatic aberration and that distinct CCD “film look” so many people love.

Then, we push the camera to #camerareview #compactcamera #contemporaryart ISO 1600, running one version of the image through a powerful 2025 noise reduction software, and another through a high ISO film emulation. Can modern technology breathe new life into this 14-year-old sensor? We’ll find out.

2. Long Exposure Testing
In the second part of the video, we explore how the GRD IV performs during long low-light exposures. With the help of a neutral density filter, we hold all exposures at f/2.8 for six seconds—ideal conditions to test the sensor’s ability to handle low light and retain detail without introducing excess noise. I also share additional thoughts on the GRD IV’s stability and image quality with exposure times out to one minute.

Whether you’re a long-time Ricoh GR fan or just discovering the magic of CCD sensors, this video will give you a detailed look at how the GR Digital IV performs in today’s post-processing environment.
