Best Hi-End compact
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.
