Ricoh GR IIIx Ergonomics

enough buttons, clicky and with good fealing
the screen operation is one of the best – VERY responsive!
NO EVF but you can add an OVF
very light camera
poor battery – I’m getting maximum150 shots with some tricks to keep help battery not to drain

Ricoh GR IIIx Features:

internal memory (it’s a life saver)
silent leaf shutter
2 stops ND filter
crop features 50/71mm
hot shoe
3 stops IBIS
pocketable

Ricoh GR IIIx Manual Focusing Options – Leica perfection

snap focus 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.5, 5m and infinity
macro mode 0.3
you can use the zone focusing system very easy (also you have a scale that shows you what you have in focus)

Ricoh GR IIIx AF Speed

AF in daylight very good – you can rely for normal shots (for unpredicted scenes use snap focus)
AF in low light acceptable if you know what you are doing

Ricoh GR IIIx Image Quality

the lens – very good separation of the subject
3D pop and 3D rendering at all apertures f2.8-f11
Ricoh GR IIIx Jpegs – gorgeous!
I like very much hard monotone and positive film
the raw files are very good and nice to work with
ISO usable till 6400/12800 but it seems a little bit noisier than other cameras in the category (X100V/XF10 etc.).

Conclusion

the best every day carry camera to have on you for street, landscape, family photography in my opinion!
Ricoh GR III/IIIx is not a beginner camera – so I would recommend to have some experience and some knowledge before buying this camera
Ricoh GR IIIx is ideal for getting the decisive moment
Extraordinary field of view – the 40mm will help you get nice compositions (easier than 28mm)
very light and superb ergonomics
the internal memory it’s a life saver
urban edition has a very interesting painting and color, the metallic gray with the navy blue ring is a perfect match. The camera is reflecting beautiful colors depending on the light, but also remains stealthy for the human eye – it doesn’t scream, look at me, but its more inspiring than the black one. You need to secure it but for this you have many options, don’t rely on a flimsy hand strap because it can fall very easy (because is so small and light)
