Ricoh GR III owners, along with most compact camera owners, have either had a battle with dust on the sensor, or have heard horror stories from those that have. This is not unique to the Ricoh GR III, but like most compact cameras, it is susceptible to it. Why? Because the lens is not removable, therefore, when dust attaches itself to the lens housing, then the lens is retracted back into the camera, it pulls the dust particles in with it, and they have to come to rest somewhere. And sometimes that's smack in the middle of your sensor.
This video explains how that happens, and a possible solution to prevent this from occurring. It includes the Ricoh GA-1 Adapter with a 49mm UV filter screwed in to help protect the lens from dust entering.
Keep in mind, having dust on the sensor, or any lens, is not the end of the world. Sometimes it's so small it might only show up with you are at the top end of your aperture (16 to 22), and even then, most photographers are used to dirty lenses at one point or another. I used Lightroom for everything, so if I had a dust issue I would just clone it out and move on. I've had many lenses with this issue, as I didn't feel like taking them apart and cleaning. So it's definitely not unique to this camera, or a deal killer by any means.
I will admit I don't even pay much attention to my Ricoh GR III photos regarding dust spots, as I'm using it for 'gritty' street scenes anyway, where i may be tempted to add artificial grain, and certainly not worrying about cloning out a small spec if I had to.
