Welcome to our first team discussion of the year. Breaking down two very different new cameras, the team takes a deep dive into the Ricoh GR IV Monochrome and explains what a true monochrome sensor actually does for sharpness, noise and dynamic range. We also go hands-on with the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo Cinema, a tiny-sensor hybrid Instax stills-and-video camera with vintage-style looks, quirky “year” dials and effects that are big on fun, even if the specs make serious shooters less than thrilled.
