Ricoh GR III

So you know if you want a camera, that's a lot of fun, you don't mind carrying extra batteries and you don't need any really good video capability. I ...

I typically carry a Pixel 4a and a Ricoh GR III. The phone takes nice pictures, saves a "ProRaw" (i.e. large-dynamic-range computational raw, not the crappy actual raw capture of the sensor) next to every picture, and thanks to Android's clever shortcuts, can be ready to shoot in a second (double click the lock button to instantly start the camera, click the volume button to take picture. So much faster than the iPhone with its swipes and screen interactions).

Contrary to other reports, my unit did not have any issues with excessive heat. The battery life was OK, too. I updated to the latest firmware, and maybe that's why I did not experience any of these problems. That said, I did not like the quality of pictures from this camera. I purchased GR II and G...

Will I eventually grow accustomed to the wider view as I use it in my day to day life, the pocketable size is an incredible necessity for me and I just want a real camera that I can take with me everywhere. I’m also aware of the GR IIIX’s existence, it’s much more expensive though and it still doesn’t have a viewfinder. TLDR; Really want a pocketable camera, the GR III ticks all the boxes but I’m afraid I won’t ever like the focal length.

Update: The front ring is sooo loose that I finally lost it!! I lost it three times but I found it twice! And the third time, it's totally gone! -------------- So Ricoh almost doubled the price and rolled out a premature GR III. The auto focus is disappointing, the APP doesn't even support the GR II...

I have an M50 in my travel kit (along with a Ricoh GR III) and highly recommended for that purpose. It's a great little camera that can take outstanding images with the right lenses.

The media could not be loaded. Got a ‘lens error’ after 2 days of use and stopped working. I will definitely get another one as the image quality was amazing and it is a fun to use simple camera. It’s size makes it perfect for a carry around everyday camera.

"The third in a series of APS-C 'GR' compacts from Ricoh, the GR III has been a long time coming, but updates the GR II in some highly significant ways.".

This is my third generation of GR I own. I take extra care specially with the GR III, but unfortunately I have dust on the sensor on my photo number 780 already! See photo and I've used f / 7.1 (5.0 will also show it)! I checked past photos and do not show dust, so it didn't come from the factory. I...

Ricoh has the Ricoh GR III X, that's the newest camera in that segment that I know of. The wider GR III might also interest you.
