Ricoh GR IIIx Review // Ultimate Street Photography Camera? 

I keep an eye on the extended lens barrel for any dust particles. If I notice any, I wipe it clean before retracting the lens back into the body.

Every camera has its pros and cons, as we need to compromise what we want. Ricoh GR IIIx provides the benefit of a pocket-sized camera with the ability to take excellent quality photos. I bought mine about six months ago and have first-hand experience with it. I like that I can take it anywhere with me and take high-quality photos. I expected it but still was surprised at how good the resolution is. If you want wide-angle shots, you can take and stitch several shots in post-processing. True, the battery drains a bit fast, but I can live with that. Sometimes, autofocus may not grab the intended object. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. As Eren said, you need to decide what you want. I wanted a small camera with large sensor and GR IIIx does deliver on these points for me. The alternative was my smartphone or DSLR. One does not provide the quality and the other is bulky and cannot be taken every time.

I am a Fuji user, but i love GR philosophy! Light, fast, sharp... Very nice set 😉📸📸👌

great review dude!!

Another good one, Eren. Although phones have pretty much won the battle with regard to convenience, cameras like this still offer far more control and better image quality, which is something keen photographers will always appreciate.

Beautiful photos

You touched on it in the video, but why did you prefer the 40mm vs 28mm focal length? I feel like if I'm around tall buildings or other interesting architecture, I'd miss a wider lens, but for pictures of people in the composition, I'd like that 40mm.

Timely video, I’m just looking at maybe getting one of these for travel. Really happy with my X-T4 but it’s bulky. Tossing up wether to take the 27mm with the XT4 or pull the pin and buy the Ricoh 😅.

Man, i like your colors on video, super!!!

Interesting video content! 👏🙏

I have the XT5 with the sigma 18-50mm 2.8 but I really don’t know if I should get this one. I don’t always have the Fuji with me, and I really want to take a camera 24/7 with me. That or getting the 50-200

Love your work man. How did you achieved this retro-style film?

I shoot on a Q. My GR broke. I love my Q but I still say the GR was the best camera I ever owned. I was fearless with it. I'm seriously thinking of the GR3x. Great vid and top work...hope to bump into you in London someday....

You can not only choose the point of focus by touching the screen. You can set the camera to shoot by touching the screen: you touch the point to focus by touching it on the screen and then the camera focuses and releases the shutter inmediately. Almost anybody talks about this feature also included on the x100v

I keep watching videos on this camera , even though i probably wont ever afford it :))

The real Fujifilm camera that was its main rival, was the XF10 camera… I had that camera before I got the GRIIIX, and it was a good camera… very underrated but the 28mm lens was a focal length that is, too some, a difficult one to do street photography with. You do get used to it though.

I’m still so confused, I don’t know if I should get this one of the GR III, which one do you think is better for Portraits + Street Photos?

thx for the review. can i install your presets on android lightroom? thx

hi eren, i am travelling to japan at the end of the year and am wondering on your opinion of packing a light kit. do you think a 16mm f2.8 and 50mm f2 would be enough for wide angle + detail shots? or should i substitute the 50mm f2 for a 55-200mm, sacrifice the aperture but gain range?

I really adore my battered first gen Ricoh GR. It still creates amazing images and the handling is sublime. No other camera gives you such access to exposure controls in such a small package. I actually think the handling got worse in newer GR's :/

I like some compare this camera photos against a iphone to see the difference? I want know is it worth carrying a phone and a camera with me?

Amazing cameras, they tick all my boxes apart from I don't enjoy using them. Really a flat, dull experience which I do not like. I had a GRii for 18 months but eventually sold it. I do have a GRI D still though 😁

The Ricoh is so unthreatening/ people think you are a tourist because it looks so cheap ( it isn’t)

The main thing to me is that people think you are just using your phone, they don't care. But when i use my X-T30 lots of people start lookng at me, even tho it is a small mirrorles

This pocket camera often encounters its nemesis: pocket lint 😂

How come you didn’t throw this baby into the air? 😄 Great video as usual.

I also talk with my hands. Same team.

Is this video taken with a Ricoh?

Once they get a built in viewfinder I'll buy one

No viewfinder, no dioptre! no use to me. I know aesthetics shouldn't come into it but it looks awful, were as the 100V looks so good as does the Pen F. But as long as you like it.
