Ricoh GR IIIx

Pros: Image Quality, Size, Crazy Simulations, Menu, Stabilization and Internal ND Filter

Cons: Flash & Viewfinder

Opinion: After the unattainable GR II still in my possession I decided not to look at my wallet and buy this little gem, mainly attracted by 40mm. It is useless to flatter her more than the others have done, suffice it to say that even if I know that I will face a monotonous working day she is always with me, from when I get out of bed to when I come back in, this is her greatest virtue! The extreme portability and extreme quality lead you to reserve a pocket just for her, even if you don't go out with the intent of photographing, thus giving you the opportunity to have a professional tool anytime and anywhere. The simulations are unfortunately better in the big sister GRii in my opinion, as they give a more analog look in the photos, nevertheless they are still very nice and highly customizable. The ability to shoot in RAW and apply filters later is a plus that few people talk about, as if it were a matter of course, but it is a wonderful feature in my opinion, another wonderful feature is the possibility of double exposures and the integrated ND filter. The absence of the viewfinder is not a big malus for me, but my biggest nibble was the flash (present in the GRII version). I don't pretend that it necessarily has to be integrated, but the parent company could make an external compact flash with TTL, I know it might sound like a whim, but it's like saying "Is your passion photography? Hold on to this jewel! You can shoot wherever you want, whenever you want, but not after dark, unless you buy an external flash that's bigger than the camera itself" and magically Cinderella's carriage at midnight becomes a pumpkin again. Fairy tales aside, I have a Sony A7IV and an A7III, but in my pockets there is always a ricoh, if you love photography you can't miss it.
