I've got one of these and can't upload any of the videos I take with it. I have tried on youtube and dropshots and it only ever uploads about half a second of my videos. I've been uploading directly from the memory card instead of using the Irodio software, could this be the problem?
I've not done anything with the video on my R6 myself yet but I would assume that if you can play it on your PC, it should work ok by the likes of YouTube. By the way, I haven't even installed the Iridio software let alone use it - I always copy the files straight off the camera/memory card.
One thought though, perhaps YouTube requires a minimum video quality (e.g. 24fps @ 640x480) - is your video the top quality the R6 allows?
You can hear the camera in this video when I turn it on, take a picture and turn it off at the end. The zooming sound is the same as you hear when it turns on and off and the lens extends/retracts.
It does make a noise but I certainly don't find it excessive (though some others seem to). Having said that, I haven't used any other modern digital cameras to compare it to.
Oh, and the macro pic at 02:57, does it make the sound before, while or after the screen goes black?
It does seem to go "click" regularly also when not taking pictures, but simply cycling through the various modes such as the horizontal and vertical "help" lines.
Don't worry, the clicks you hear are the (old) camera I used to make the video (not sure what it' doing, maybe writing data to the memory card perhaps). Annoyingly it sounds just like a shutter release. Rest assured, they do not come from the R6.
You can't really hear the sound the R6 makes when taking the macro shot. You can hear a beeping which indicates it's focused but the shutter release sound you hear at 2:56 is not the R6 but the old Fuji camera I used to video it.
Your quote:"If you want a small, versatile camera and like playing with settings and options and/or have need of the R6's quirky features (e.g. skew correction, time lapse etc) then it's great."
Glad the video was of some help to you. If you need help or more information on your new camera, I can recommend the Ricoh forum on the 'dpreview' website.
Occasional shots have a soft area on the side at wide angle but I'm not aware of a general softness problem. For a wider range of experiences try asking on the dpreview web site.
nice one for that but still undecided,anybody know if the R7 is a much better buy?

I just bought the R6, and I'm REALLY happy about it. Adding a 4gb sdhc card, it will be perfect for any need.
My previous one was a Casio Exilim S500.

I've heard that this camera is extremely noisy!
Any chance of commenting on that? Perhaps a video where you turn the camera on/off, zoom, and take pictures?
Kind of difficult to quietly capture the moment if the camera is so noisy that it turns heads!

I'm slightly concerned about the noise the camera makes too. Is that loud "click" at 02:44 the camera taking a picture?
From 02:30 and on, I hear this loud click/thud sound regularly throughout, so I'm not sure which one is the sound it makes when the picture is taken.

andygrunt, is there a known problem with pictures being "blurry" or "unclear" with the default settings?
I've seen some sample shots, and even my several years old digical compact camera has sharper images.
