Ricoh GR-D Firware v2.20
Ricoh has issued a new firmware update for the awesome GR-D. One major feature for this firmware update is that you can now select the quality of the accompanying JPEG when using RAW mode, which alleviates some a little of the painful wait times between shots in RAW mode. Well, according to my not-so-scientific tests, when set to the smallest JPEG quality, the RAW writing times is down by an average of a whopping TWO SECONDS. (Please note that the average write times is TWO SECONDS less. Yes, I was being sarcastic.)
This has been asked so many times in a number of forums: why can’t Ricoh just use the internal memory as a buffer for RAW mode? Hey, Ricoh, this blog hosts one of the most popular (if not THE most popular) Ricoh GR-D reviews on the net, why not give an official statement about this?
