Pros: Pocket-sized stabilized APSC sensor, excellent quality lens, ignition and lightning response times and much more

Cons: lack of integrated flash, non-tropicalized body, lens that sucks dust, pad that after a while' goes crazy (but maybe it's only on mine this defect), battery life, positive film not like on GR2 or GR1

Opinion: It is the perfect travel companion for those who love so much quality in very little space. I always take it with me even at work, loving the street you never know when it's time to turn it on and photograph. It lights up in a flash and is immediately operational. You can set it in hyperfocal and use it as a point and shoot, or in a more reasoned way, given the myriad of functions. Personally, however, I must say that I find myself using much more often its first version, the Ricoh GR 'smooth' (the one with 16mpx, but without wifi that I also had -GR2- and sold because I did not understand it at the time) because of the integrated flash (with the GR3 I often bring with me a led of those rgb that I use to illuminate a little' at least worse the scene in the evening) and because of the simulation Positive Film which, strangely, has been modified on version 3 (I think it is because of the different sensor more than change palette). The lens retracts when it closes so there is a danger that dust enters the sensor, to avoid I have two adhesive filters on each GR and they go great. If they deteriorate the image I do not know, I am not a pixel peeper and I use protective filters on every lens I own. For the battery life I have 3, I do not shoot compulsively, never used more than two batteries to cover a day of shots around. Do I recommend it? NI. It depends on the price. I bought the GR3 and GR1 used two years ago for less than € 600 both (if I think about it they really seem spatial prices compared to today), probably that's why the dial wheel of the gr3 does not work well, but I use it quietly. That said, if you have to pay € 999 for a GR3 and you do not have a camera invest in an interchangeable lens camera system, you will have more versatility. The Ricoh was born for the street, documentary, has fixed lens (28mm) that forces a certain type of photo, forget the headshot portraits, you instead those 'set'. If you think it can do everything, you will find yourself like me not understanding it and selling it and then buying it back. For me it is a faithful travel companion, but I use other systems, so I see it as a completion of a kit, not a stand alone. All in all promoted.

Pros: Tiny, compact, very well made, with excellent image quality in both black and white and color.

Cons: By now it is known, the life of the batteries.

Opinion: I wanted a real compact, quality and without fainting and here the choice went on this incredible machine. First of all, landscape photographer, go to my Juza profile and you will see it, I use Nikon Z6ii and Z7ii with all Z Mount lenses, but since I love the street, I wanted a proper camera and after trying the Panasonic Lx100 and Gx9, which did not satisfy me for a number of reasons I fell back on this and never choice was so guessed. Purchased used with about 50 shots at a reasonable price I started shooting and I was really surprised by the files it churns out in both JPG and DNG, I put it in my backpack that I use daily and I rediscovered the fun of taking photos, really beautiful photos, turn on points and shots, activating the various modes provided by the machine and the results are incredible and believe me says one who has a few years on his shoulders, it's not two days that shoots and I use a professional equipment of no small importance, but with this I rediscovered the taste of photographing. For the batteries no Problem I have three and so.... try to believe, in tendiamoci the defects there are as in all machines, I do not list them, but the merits are superior to the defects.

Pros: Image quality, lightness, responsiveness, snap focus

Cons: Battery life, non-swivel LCD, high ISO yield (over 3200)

Opinion: I usually use the Leica M system and I have joined the GRIII for those occasions where it is necessary to have a pocket machine in the true sense of the word. DNG files are great as well as the rendering of the optics. The images created can be easily combined with those made by more demanding "full frame" systems, even within the same photographic project. Lightness, responsiveness and compactness offer literally new possibilities to capture images compared to systems that, to be exploited to the fullest, require greater commitment and attention. Those accustomed to the latest generation sensors will find the GRIII usable with excellent quality up to 3200 ISO. Beyond this threshold you risk having to act on noise reduction by losing some detail and color depth. Not surprisingly, to the high sensitivities, we tend to prefer the BN, excellent, and with a rather organic and analog yield. The snap focus, once the focusing distance suitable for the shooting situation has been set, returns absolute immediacy and thanks to the aps-c sensor allows you to take advantage of a greater depth of field than a full frame with the same aperture set. Very useful aspect in the street to avoid going up too much with the ISO due to greater closure of the diaphragm. Given the absence of an integrated viewfinder, I would have preferred an adjustable screen, not only to favor the composition but also to limit reflections in situations of strong and contrasted light. In conclusion, it is in my opinion a machine not only recommended for reportage and travel photography, but above all to experiment with an immediate and spontaneous way of doing photography, with the ultimate benefit of stimulating and enriching the creative process.

Pros: "mini" size, magnificent sensor, crazy lens

Cons: ridiculous battery, ISO over 3200

Opinion: I was looking for a compact camera to accompany the EOS R, to avoid always carrying a camera and at least two-three lenses (yes, I use only fixed focal lengths, so to be ready for any eventuality I always try to bring at least 35mm and 100mm). Among the various views, sifting a bit between forums and videos on youtube, I laid eyes on the latest update of the Ricoh compact, the GRIII. Very interesting sensor on paper (24mpx APS-C), toy size, controls in the right place and that fixed 28mm (equivalent) that is just the focal length from the street. Thanks to a discount coupon on Amazon, I decided to launch myself and buy it. I was a bit skeptical at the beginning: in short, you spend a lot of money to have a fullframe, you accumulate lenses on lenses to get the most out of definition, depth of field ... yet this little GR is really impressive. Very clean files, crazy lens definition, autofocus not bad. To be a compact, and in proportion, much better than the EOS R. I bought this compact to keep it always in the backpack, ready to shoot while I go to work, I'm around with friends; I ended up using it much more than the EOS R. The ml is there, at home, gathering dust, the GR is always in my hand. I'm not going to dwell on the "technical" issues of this camera, anyone who reads this review would do well before watching some video on youtube or reading a review of some professional; instead I intend to dwell on the shooting experience that you have with this gem. It makes you want to shoot. The quality that it manages to churn out in such a compact body makes it a really nice toy, it puts the photographer in a position to appreciate the street, the shadows, the details of the buildings, the faces of people. In short, the definitive machine for the street. And moreover, being so small, it does not seem to disturb in the slightest: it is difficult for someone to notice that you are photographing, and if they notice it, they will think that you are a tourist, given the size of the car. It is not frightening, it does not put you in awe. In short, it is the definitive creative tool to capture the everyday (in my opinion). After hitting the key point of this GR – in my opinion – it's time to talk about the negative sides, because, I assure you, it has them. And there are mainly two: the camera warms up (yes, using it for more than 5-10 minutes you start to feel a pleasant heat coming from the right side of the grip, probably the battery), it is a known problem and present on all GRIII. Not bad, it does not seem to me that it affects the operation in the slightest; it remains a defect, and as such must be recognized. The second, much more serious, is the battery life: it does not make 200 shots ... To carry around the GR by taking a walk you need at least 3-4 batteries! (thank goodness that buying non-original batteries does not end up on a road, the original costs 50 €!). The poor durability is THE defect of the GR: on the first day of use, unaware of this defect, I lost a lot of shots because at a certain point the little girl decided to turn off, and I could not revive her until I returned home. Summing up: it's the best compact camera around at a human price (of course, if you're a millionaire take a Leica Q2, it's clearly better). You just have to remember to buy batteries. Tip: forget the shots in the evening if you intend to climb above 3200ISO.

Pros: compactness, APSC sensor, jpeg, film simulations, in-camera editing, aesthetics, macro

Cons: high ISO

Opinion: I start by saying that I had a love/hate relationship with this little girl. Enthusiastic at the beginning, then less and sold, but in the end she returned home because she is unique in her kind and never leaves me today. Looking a bit at the photos I have taken in these years of transition to digital and return to photography, the images on average that I prefer were taken with this little one, also for the simple reason that she was (is) always with me. In some special shooting circumstances I also had difficulty understanding if the photo was taken with Ricoh or Leica Q2... I repeat in some special cases. That said, I find that it is difficult in low light when you have to make a portrait the AF does not always respond promptly and with the same ISO they seem noisier than Fuji (with the same aperture and times), around 3200 ... usable up to 1600. But if you shoot in B / W they are also excellent at 3200. For the rest super intuitive and flexible depending on how and what one photographs, in short, it is a machine that is sewn on the photographer.
