A little late ... but happy new year!
I had a somewhat rough start into 2024 with some nasty health issues, but finally did a walk around the village yesterday.
Here a shot of our local mountains:D ... sugar beets waiting for the transport to the processing factory.

I wish I was that patient or lucky ... though there is proof that some wildcats are living in our area this shot was taken this morning in a game park.
Shooting them in the wild is indeed a challenge.

When Ricoh released the GRIIIx I was excited. A small and light camera, easy to carry with you virtually everwhere. Great!
And I like the FOV of a lens equivalent to 40mm on FF much more than the 28mm equivalent fo the original GRIII (I am not a wide-angle guy).
But it's difficult to justify spending 1.000EUR or so for another camera when you have already so many cameras and lenses ... you probably know that feeling.
One of the many cameras I own is the Q7 and with the 01 prime it is ... small, light, easy to carry with you all the time and the same FOV as the GRIIIx
Yes, the later has probably superior IQ. But is it so much better to justify spending 1.000EUR?

Well, I may be one of the few members here who actually have tested equipment to determine IP ratings ... and I respectfully disagree.
To achieve IP55 is not an easy task and I would not consider it a low rating. Sorry for being off-topic.

I don't think that anything in the original photo needed AI for some ... well, let's call it "improvement".
To me the original looks much more natural while to revised version looks "artificial" (especially in the water area).
Yes, as you've mentioned, this maybe a result of using the default settings, but I much prefer the original.

A refreshing walk through the local forest this afternoon.
Quite cold temperature but no wind at all, very pleasant.

That's great stuff!
As far as I remember I took the K200D only once to a concert
That's Mark "Booga" Fowell from the band Ezio

I must be lucky:)
The Eneloops I still use are at least 12 years old and have never seen any "advanced" or high-tech charger. I only own a cheap no-name charger with no fancy features (just LEDs indicating it is charging ... LEDs off means fully charged) for all my rechargable batteries.
Due to this thread I took the K200D with the DA 1.8/50 out for a walk through a local forest. What a pleasant and light combo!
A few from this morning:

I don't have a chance to visit my home-town often anymore.
But recently I spent a few hours there, visiting the old familiar places and taking a few photos.
This is the main entrance of "my" old church, St. Andrews (or St. Andreas in German). The oldest part of the church was built between 1160 and 1180.
