I love the first one - the pose, the smile, the colors.

I don't like the sepia on the second. It somehow does not suit the baby's skin. It does not look healthy. Together with the pose, it makes for an awkward combination. The large amount of backdrop distracts from the subject as well. Between the background and the blanky the baby is 'lost'. It's quite possible it looks much better larger though, I find the 1000px forum limit is simply not enough a lot of times. It serves worse photos well, better ones often 'loose out'.

Cheers

Oh nonono...silver K1, I can't afford that haha..

It's too good to be sold

I have mine on auto but frequently change it based on ambient light. Yes you can do it in post but I find that getting a proper exposure, inclusive of as accurate color temperature as possible makes things much more easier in post. Especially when taking a lot of photographs. Sometimes you just don't recall the light and may find yourself struggling. At least I would. It's not really much of an effort to scroll through the settings when shooting and try to get it accurate to start with. Noone can help you here, but yourself

Love the second one

Pretty sure Ricoh offers 1 year worldwide warranty. It is most certainly more hassle then buying it locally, but you can always send the camera for repairs straight to Japan, and they will honor it.

Fantastically dynamic.

I believe K5s shutter life is 100k, that's really the minimum, by no means the maximum. 60k doesn't prticularly scare me at all. That is still few good years of 'normal' use to go.

Hello and welcome. Hoping to see your photographs soon!

Love the first, that said, second one has amazing colors. I'd totally try to creatively blend the two, given how the focus is in the centre; but then, I am weird

Fantastic shots.
