Pros: Size, speed of use, beautiful, pleasant and faithful file even in colors, RAW file with DNG extension

Cons: Dust problem on the sensor, lack of an additional telephoto optical, an external viewfinder in the style of Visioflex Leica may be useful, ISO seal

Opinion: I use the smooth GR for a few months, to be exact since October last year and then are about 4 months and I find it excellent, everyone talks about black and white, but I find it very pleasant even on the color always faithful, well balanced and saturated without being shouted (I still shoot only in DNG) in essence the file is exceptional merit of a good combination sensor / optical / electronic, But let's get to the idea that I also made by reading the previous opinions: - the battery does not last long? Apart from that if you use it as I use it, or as a machine to always have behind and a click every now and then the battery lasts me more than a few days, but certainly in continuous use probably enough to have a second battery in your pocket (the batteries are still really small and light that you do not even notice and cost little especially the compatible); - the display is not adjustable missing the viewfinder? true it could be comfortable, but it could be a further weak point and even without adjustable display it was never difficult for me to shoot even with the camera practically on the ground ... Wrong what you frame with a 28 mm is difficult, with time and always using fixed optics you already know how and where to position yourself with the focal length and compose even without seeing, and if the dimensions had to be larger for a viewfinder (then maybe criticized because small and not very visible) I have to say thank goodness that there is not, always in my opinion of course .... certainly a possibility of electronic viewfinder (in the style of Leica's Visioflex for example) could also be useful in certain circumstances and photographs, but you also quickly get used to the display (and those who love the viewfinder say so!); - another advantage is the file with DNG extension and not a proprietary file, so it is always well interpreted by all PP programs; - the only drawback is really the dust on the sensor that has already entered fortunately at the extreme edge and with a small crop I make it disappear if I can not with the various clone stamps etc. In short, I am satisfied and I will keep (even as a backup in case of always possible malfunctions of the M) ... I am satisfied so much that I also bought used the additional 21 mm (which as usual I will pick up at the next trip to Italy scheduled for mid-April) and I will tell you what I think ... only thing I regret is not having an additional that brings the camera to a 50 mm and this I think is also a problem of the III that has the ability to go from 28 mm to 21 mm and the IIIX from 40 mm to 75 mm but none of its can respectively go up or down of the focal length otherwise the IIIX would have been perfect for me with a 40 mm and a 24 maybe (if the same additional brings the smooth III to 21) basically I use a lot and I love the 35 mm to which I joined before a 24 and now a 21 mm while I do not feel the need for a longer focal length so a IIIX with additional wide angle would be perfect for me I took the smooth GR to try the GR system without committing large resources and as a machine to really have always in tow ... and now I'm in love with it! However, the GR is cool (to say it to the Roman) is really in your pocket, smaller than a Smartphone and churns out high quality files comparable to many more famous kits ... Of course put to the whip feels the weight of the years, but his does it and very well

Pros: Incredible lens for a compact, sharpness, ease of use, magnificent APS-C sensor

Cons: Concrete risk of dust on the sensor

Opinion: After several months of use, I feel compelled to give an opinion on this compact to say the least magnificent. Taken by a user on this forum for 300 euros, practically new, has bewitched me. I was hesitant because nowadays this compact has arrived at the third version and I thought that the first model was a little too old, but I was wrong in the most absolute way, saving about 600 euros is important even if you give up certain more modern features (for example, the number of pixels, which in this first version is around 16 mil, the III instead has 24 mil). In any case this premium compact is wonderful: sharpness at the highest level (if it plays with my 5DII despite this Ricoh has a sensor of smaller size), exaggerated microcontrast (black and white is in fact its bread), the weight is ridiculous and is easy to use (in search of options). Of course, the equivalent 28mm is a bit exclusive, it is a focal that gives the best of itself only if you fully understand what you want to do and photograph: I can say that since I have this Ricoh I decided to look for a fixed 28mm for Canon EF so much I felt good with this Focal. Plus, let's face it, it's also wonderful to see, it expresses style and charisma from all angles. The only downsides are that, given the type of movement of the lens, it can happen that it is deposited on the dust sensor (which objectively it is impossible to remove without sending the machine to service) and in the fact that the accessories have frankly absurd costs (e.g. the optional viewfinder costs 200 euros, even if it is a very simple piece of glass). I would recommend it to all those who are looking for a premium compact to always have with them but who also want an image quality at very good levels.

Pros: Extremely enjoyable in the use, quality and sharpness of the images

Cons: With low light it is advisable to snap in raw, and dust that dirts the sensor. Fixed focal point, but its a characteristic.

Opinion: As a passionate companion for the past 3 years I've bought and used several compact, so I can summarize my own comparative judgment between them: Canon G1X, half-way project for a goal not high, and compact cmq of saying; Fuji X30, aesthetically beautiful with many manual controls and great electronic sight but performance from the compact; Canon G7X, pocket-sized and amazing in performance, but with some edge-to-edge sharpness limits. The Ricoh GR is the most compact and lightweight of the group, the most enjoyable in use, by far, produces the sharpest images. With little light it is better to shoot in raw and then adjust the exposure because it suffers a bit of the high ISO (if you snap in black and white you can shoot in jpeg even in the evening). Clear if the lens had been a 2.0 would have given more opportunities, but the machine would lose its compactness and probably the best performance features (sharpness). It is also true that entrdust, I notice it as I see a couple of signs and dots in the sky photos, but patience, I do not want to open it to clean the sensor. On the appearance of 28 equiv. fixed, you can select 35 and 47, but I do not remember ever having it (it's a crop in the car). In short, my favorite compact.

Pros: All

Cons: Wide angle too expensive .....

Opinion: Machine spectacular photos. I've had very little to replace the Sigma DP1 Merrill and I must say that I do not make us regret it at all. rnLeggerissima, small and convenient, once turned on is already operational in a fraction of a second, I always carry it with me. rnL'ho purchased used with GH-3 kits at a price really ridiculous ... exceptional image quality, Juventus wonderful, fabulous grain at high ISO, with SILKYPIX supplied software will "settle" the photos quickly and ottimale.rnInoltre for those who want an optical viewfinder (perfect for use with the optics of the GR) purchased the Sony FDA-SV1 (found in 60/70 € NEW) remove the bottom (6 screws to undo) and mount it on the slide flash ........ PERFECT !!!!!

Pros: All Over

Cons: No One

Opinion: Machine in my opinion perfect. Size pocket and made superlative. Perfect for street and reportage. Good operating speed and raw files and jpeg really excellent. A note is absolutely positive the preparation of files for the black and white ... the file lends itself to perfection and conversions are obtained rich in shades of gray. Highly recommended for me!
