Have I mentioned that my Ricoh sensor is fucked? This image was made back in April and itโ€™s only gotten much worse since then. I guess leaving the camera, which is unable to be opened and therefore cleaned, in your pocket every single day will wear it down quite fast. Iโ€™ve used and abused this thing since buying it two ish years ago and I have nothing but nice things to say about it, aside from this. The inability to clear the sensor without doing a risky disassembly is the only flaw this camera has.

Casey Neistat recently bought one of these cameras and, last I checked, was having a hard time figuring out how to use it. If you put a video camera in my hand, Iโ€™ll have the same reaction. Itโ€™s quite interesting how we become familiar with specific camera tools and, despite everything being quite similar, it can still feel very foreign until you put some time into it.
