Is the Ricoh GRiii the perfect compact camera for street and travel photography? Based on my time with the camera this year, I’d say yes.
Having made the switch from the Fujifilm X100V to the Ricoh GRiii • Why I Switched From th... I took the camera on a 3 week trip to Japan. It quickly became my most used camera - shooting with it was an absolute joy.
In this second article about my Diary Edition version of the camera, I’ll review the GRiii and tell you why I think this is the best everyday carry for street and travel photographers.

Your passion and practicality for the Ricoh GR III made me pull the trigger and get one! I am so excited. I was going to get the Fuji X100VI but I already have the XT5. I really wanted a pocketable street/travel camera and the X100VI isn’t really pocketable. I learned on film, medium format and range finders, but I’ve always loved compacts. I agree with you about the film recipes getting in the way of capturing the moment. Thanks for such great content!

@MattLovesCameras 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much! I’m so pleased you enjoyed the video 😊🙏 The GR3 is the best pocketable camera for sure! I shot with it and the X100VI in China last week. Undoubtedly the latter is a fantastic camera but I prefer the GR3. New video coming up comparing the two 😁 not sure if I’ll keep or sell the X100V1 at this stage.

Beautiful photos! This really inspired me to take photos with my GRIII 📸

Thanks so much! Really appreciate your comment 😊 I’m working on a new video with photos I took in Japan with the gr iii, look out for it within the next week!

Super! tbh this is one of the best Ricoh GRIII content because you're super easy going and It looks that you respect the japanese culture, greetings from Mexico.@@MattLovesCameras

Great overview Matt, and really enjoyed the images. It does seem like a nice alternative to the X100 series. Also, well done on the U2 references!

Thanks so much Billy! If I win lotto in the next month or so I’m going to fly to Vegas to see them at the Sphere ha ha

Great photos Matt, really love the colors you're getting! The Ricoh really is such a great camera. I took mine out to a hike here and used the macro mode to take the some mushroom pictures🍄. You can get so close to the subject.

@MattLovesCameras 9 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Gab! I did the same in Canberra ha ha, I noticed these mushrooms and I was wowed by the macro mode, so good!

I love my GR cameras. The GRIII and GRIIIx do have overheating issues for me on hot summer days - in the Pacific Northwest that is. So I do not want to know how quickly they overheat in the Australian summer.

@MattLovesCameras 9 месяцев назад

That’s a good point - I haven’t put it through and Australian summer yet ☀️ 😂

@thedarkslide 9 месяцев назад

@@MattLovesCameras I tried shooting the Gay Pride Parade in Seattle two years ago with the GRIIIx in July(?) and the GRIIIx lasted for about 20 minutes with power on before it overheated. I shot the rest of the day on my Leica MP on film. I also still have the GRII which NEVER had any overheating issues. On hot days, I would probably pick the GRII over the GRIII(x).

@MattLovesCameras 9 месяцев назад

Oooo very nice! Never owned a Leica but it's certainly on the list!

@gillyb44 3 месяца назад

Mine arrived last week and got extremely hot while setting it up. Next day took out for. Spin and it got warm it was 25 c . I’ve written to seller they are going to call me back re this issue. It should not get hot. I have Fuji cameras and shoot all day in Australian summer heat, and no issues.

@ballblurphotography8699 6 дней назад

Please select one for me Griii or Fuji 1.9 black and which one you will use more , thank you ❤️📷🙏

@MattLovesCameras 6 дней назад

Thanks for watching! Ooo that's a hard choice. I love the Natura Black f/1.9, it's a beautiful camera. Though being digital, the GRIII is more versatile for low light and changable conditions. Buy both! ha ha :)

@milesmonroe65 9 месяцев назад

Great review, Matt. Covered every question I had about the camera without going down a tech bore hole. Also, the arse pic is a standout.👏

@rakarez520 7 месяцев назад

why did you choose gr iii instead gr iiix more newer? is it just because the focal length?

@rakarez520 7 месяцев назад

feel free to share your perspective guyss!!

@MattLovesCameras 7 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks for watching! It was because of the Diary Edition special limited edition kit. I was super keen to get the IIIx but ran out of money ha ha. I’m keen to give it a go one day though!

@rakarez520 7 месяцев назад

@@MattLovesCameras How does it feel when using a 28mm focal length, are there any limitations or anything else?

@MattLovesCameras 7 месяцев назад

@@rakarez520it’s great! I think for travel and street that focal length is better. But who knows, if I used the 40mm maybe I’d change my mind 😂

People move when they speak or make presentations. It's normal and doesn't bother me. If you were dead still that would be odd! Hopefully Tony is having a better day today.
