Comments about Ricoh Ricoh GR Digital III, Elegant Point & Shoot 10mp Digital Camera, 28 F/1.9mm Lens:

I literally tried every high end compact available and none compared to this one. I love the fixed lens, image quality and the controls and handling of this camera are unmatched in this class. I could care less about video, I wanted a camera I would carry everywhere and capture the moments. This camera makes me want to take pictures. There is no real shutter delay and any noise looks like film grain. I would rather have a 35mm equiv focal length but that is a preference so I won't deduct a star for that. Flash is powerful enough but if you get too close it will overexpose the subject. If I needed a zoom the LX5 would be the best choice but it is a chunky little camera with a separate lens cap and that was enough to make me leave it on the shelf instead of taking it everywhere.

Comments about Ricoh Ricoh GR Digital III, Elegant Point & Shoot 10mp Digital Camera, 28 F/1.9mm Lens:

I have had this camera for a few weeks and have really gotten a chance to to explore the menu. It haas some amazing features that only bulky DSLRs have. The 28mm lens is limiting but I like that it makes me stand closer to my shots.

This camera is not for taking pictures of wild animals from a safe distance. I will probably never take a close up of an alligator with it; for capturing real life it can't be beat. The price is a little high but compared to an SLR that I would be buying lens for it really is a fair price.

Comments about Ricoh Ricoh GR Digital III, Elegant Point & Shoot 10mp Digital Camera, 28 F/1.9mm Lens:

Ricoh GR DIII is outstanding in terms of image quality in compact size well in hand. High quality fast GR lens with F1.9 and work very well at high iso 800. Function work great and easy to understand. Control buttons are in good position. I like the small pop-up flash and also like the conversion lens GH-2 to attach the filter size 43mm to protect the lens. Strong and solid body construction, battery also very good. Reasonable price.

Comments about Ricoh Ricoh GR Digital III, Elegant Point & Shoot 10mp Digital Camera, 28 F/1.9mm Lens:

When my friend who had a GR2 told me to check out the GR3... I never thought I would find a compact digital with that rivaled shots from my expensive collection of cameras I own.

Simply put, if you are a professional or experienced photographer that needs a compact, this is the camera for you. Super fast shutter speed in low light, raw images, and the list goes on. Screw optical zoom, fixed lenses are where its at with compacts. And even if you're a novice, this is the camera for you if you don't mind the price.

You will end up getting rid of your Lumix LX3 after getting this.
