| Latest Review Posted | Ricoh GR III
Huge improvement on the RICOH GR (mark I) I previously owned.
- shake reduction makes 1/4s handheld shots possible for beautiful shots including moving water with no tripod
- 24MPX makes the 35mm crop used without thinking about resolution loss at about 15MPX
- much more responsive (ex: ADJ button to set aperture was so slow on mark I, it's now immediate)
- touchscreen is so good for focusing, and navigating
- more focusing modes
- WiFi/bluetooth
GR was a very good camera, GR III is wonderful.
Sharp across the frame, pocketable and not intrusive, mid-fast 28mm/35mm, good JPG rendering options and customisation, snap focusing, macro capability, ergonomics and Fn customisation...
What to say ? Perfect camera for me as I always struggle to go out with my K3-II other than pro-use because of size/weight, but I want no compromise on image quality at the smallest package possible.
My use is mainly landscape, nature, and travel. Truly a perfect (wide angle) walk-around .
Whats bad ?
- battery life (you need more batteries and they are expensive, no-name batteries works fine at a good price, but even lower battery-life)
- accessories prices (leather case, batteries, charger are VERY expensive, and you REALLY need them).
- price of the camera itself is a bit high (maybe will be less steep in a few months/years), but I'd pay it again for what it is !
I'm really digging the 21mm converter for my landscape use, costly for sure, adding quite a bit of bulk, but still more tha... |
