Design

On the design of cameras:

(1/2)
This post made me think about the design of photo cameras. 
It's true that Leica cameras in particular have a retro feel. 
But why do cameras look the way they do? 
On the one hand, it is true that the design of the (Leica) camera dates back to the days of analog photography and many settings were made manually back then. 
But you also have to bear in mind that for many, especially professional photographers, the camera is purely a tool and not a design object, the motto here is that form follows function. Settings such as exposure time or aperture must be able to be adjusted within fractions of a second. Physical dials are unbeatable for this.

Recently picked up a Ricoh GR IIIx. The size is amazing.

Been trying to leave phone at home and bring the camera when taking the kids to the park. Will share some photos from it soon.

I just bought recently a GRIIIx HDF too, love it! I really enjoy taking photos with it! To me the image stabilizer rand the small size was very important, I can shoot at around 1600 iso at night, sometimes even lower so its not much noise in the photos wich I absolutely love since I love to take photos at night. This is one of my favorite photos so far taken with it:
