Exceeded my expectations

I was looking for a compact camera that would easily fit in my pocket and take better pictures than my phone camera. Wow! The Ricoh GRIII exceeded my expectations. I already own a Sony A6400 and Sony RX100 VII but the RX100 turned out to be too thick to comfortably carry in my pants pocket. What I wasn't expecting with the Ricoh is the excellent photo quality, ease of use, user friendly and intuitive camera menu settings and the fantastic film simulation choices. The interface between the camera and my phone using the Image Synch App is also Much better than the Sony App. I'm not knocking my Sony's, I'm just expressing my happiness with my Ricoh.

Fantastic travel camera with some flaws

This camera easily produces amazing quality photos and is compact enough to bring on any trip without being a hassle. Only downsides are a low quality display and poor battery life.

Great little camera!

I love this camera. It takes great photos and is very lightweight. I have a lot of professional mirrorless cameras and they are great but sometimes not so easy to travel with. The Ricoh produces high quality images and is to easy to handle. I absolutely love it.

Ricoh GRIII - very fun

Excellent and very pocketable camera. All of the features of a complex, professional camera but in a compact, point and shoot format. Buying thru Adorama was a great experience.

Fits my need really well.

So far, so good, although I recently ordered it and haven't got the chance to fully take it thru the ringer. As a long-time GR II user that just broke, I'll compare it to GR II. 1) The menu is more extensive than that of GR II. 2) Nice exposure feature such as the mode to protech highlights that wasn't available. 3) VR does help with low light, may be a stop over GR II. 4) More custom button assignment available. Woohoo. 5) Shorter than GR II so a bit less room for your thumb. 6) The Street version certainly looks better than the generic plain black version. Swapped out the orange ring for a black ring immediately though.

Amazing camera capable of capturing fantastic images. Unless you know EXACTLY what you are buying, there may be better choices in this price range.

A Great Street Photography Camera.

A great camera. It's a perfect size for street photography. The lens is sharp. It has nearly as many menus/options/ settings as my Pentax K1. Very happy I purchased it

Wonderful day to day companion to my DSLR

What an awesome little pocket camera! It?s helped me to shoot more spontaneously and has improved my compositional skills tremendously day to day (I normally only shoot more involved time consuming nature scenes).

Really nice but yes it?s pricey?

This was a gift for my spouse, It?s a nice camera so far. It is pricey though for a point and shoot, but I get the hype? There are a few things we wish it had and didn?t have. For example he wishes there was no lens bump and it had a cable release (but I mean it?s is a point and shoot so). I wish the street addition did come with the viewfinder then maybe it would justify the price. There is no flash but who uses a flash on a point and shoot, as it would look terrible, but it does have the hot shoe. Oh and it is a fixed lens, we sort of wanted a 35 but the 28 will do just fine. The camera is rather sharp and fast and it shoots pretty good in low light situation. Black and white filter is lovely (I mean yeah you can change later but it?s a nice option). My spouse wanted this so he could carry a pocket camera with a decent sensor and not carry the dslr all the time. So it will serve it?s purpose. It?s a very visually pretty camera and he seems to love it and would recommend it.

Compact, high quality shooter

The Ricoh GR III Digital Camera has opened up so many photographic opportunities for me because it's tiny, has a great sensor, and a fixed focal length that encourages to use my legs. I shoot landscapes on a DSLR primarily but needed something I could grab easily for more 'snapshot' scenarios, to help continue developing my skills. It's done that and more in just a few weeks.

FEATURED REVIEWS

This camera is amazing.

By Anthony D.

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 ...

Best Hi-End compact

By PlayPixel

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.
