OK but this is not a magazine article nor review and I never promised covering good.
I understand that many take title for synopsis but it's not the case. I do claim that camera is good, it's just I don't elaborate on good because it was covered by many before.
absolutely NOT, camera is good and that's a fact
I won't remove 'good' because this will suggest I am against GRIII and will provide material how much I hate it
but I do like GRIII, I do think it is a good camera but I'm also experiencing different cons of this camera
bait is saying that I am rude but not delivering evidence
how on earth did you conclude that it is a review ? did you read disclaimer ?
title suggests only that it is good, bad and ugly but nothing else, there is no promise of covering of anything in the title
once again, you don't read disclaimer but you take assumptions based on titles in magazines and newspapers
once again : read DISCLAIMER ! it is clearly stated

1. The volume of text and to prevent from quoting all of that by someone who want to post a simple sentence
2. I do add some new thoughts and make changes and having one place where I can do that instead of few is a convenience
and once again you are wrong, I am no new user but as explained before I had to re-register again
GR section on this forum is less active but still attracts people who can benefit from the content I post
I disagree it is flame
please DO quote what is exactly rude because I would love to see that,
till this moment your posts are not related to topic but are aimed at my person so
if you have anything against me then PM and we will clear this up instead making a mess from this thread

so go for it, I don't need sponsors/advertisers for my personal page

it is not because I made an introduction and nowhere promised covering the good as it is widely available

great so please do list some of them that are as light/small/with leaf shutter and 28mm
it's called backward compatibility

Please take a look at all those reviews and articles about GR III that are already online.

All the good and wonderful was written and presented about this camera so I wanted to share my personal opinion
about the bad and ugly of GRIII and what it is missing or lacking. Don't get me wrong, I like this camera and it is my main
one which gives me results so I am not against it but simply disappointed about development of this product.

I was shocked when Ricoh released GR III and there was no replacement for GH-3 accessory from GR I/II. It was very strange they gave us no such option.
I know that NISI made their own adapter but I always liked the GH-3 so I adapted it to GR III and IMHO it is better than NISI for rounded filters, especially if you need to use step-up ring.
Here are photos presenting my adapter
Album ? Postimages
I guess that after 3D scanning it would be possible to make STL file for 3D printing.
BTW : there is no vignetting; corners are bright

no, I want have product that is not limiting me in taking pictures; something that runs on a single battery more than
60 minutes, doesn't overheat or freeze, something with fixed firmware
I guess it is possible for Ricoh to make things better and not worse

if I look at those modern cameras I see so much advanced functions like integrated 'AI' to support AF etc. so I can understand this needs more CPU power and RAM can get hot but in the same time there is no overheating if you don't make videos; manufactures are stretching however only Ricoh couldn't solve that issue before introducing product that already came very late
can be compared in terms of handling same photographic scenario but not in design and electronics/optics which are different
it's like a faulty brake system in a certain model of a car; manufacturer recalls all vehicles even if only one or two accidents happened and it is most likely other drivers won't meet the criteria for problem
that's exactly Ricoh thinking; if there is some firmware bug but not so many users are reporting then why should we care ?
if users will accept that overheating is new normal for GR then this will stay for longer
or redesigning camera would be so costly and time consuming that they calculated it will be better to release it as it is;
we don't know why managers agreed to 'green light' such obstacle
you lost me, agreeing with you by pointing out that it was already said in the video strikes you as curt ?
---------- Post added 09-10-20 at 05:01 AM ----------
Do you see that Canon mentioned hot environments ?
Ricoh is not mentioning enviroments because it is overheating but may take a little bit longer.
Canon users are reporting that overheating happens after they switch from stills to video and not before.

that's a shocker, what makes you think like that ?
I don't expect others to share the experience. I titled 'caught on video' to provide a clear evidence that overheating that GR is prone is happening and if you never experienced that issue then you can see when and how it looks like
sure, you see one camera on video so it's the right assumption it is just my own camera; I declared on video that I am open to test more under different conditions
yes, that's exactly what I wrote in the introduction
why would I expect that ? I can assume that there will be some viewers that are not interested about overheating but would like to see picture that is less than 1% different but 6 Megabytes smaller
it is widespread; it is fact GR III might overheat and you are warned in the manual but the question is if your usage is getting the camera reach these critical temps; there shouldn't be 'typical' or 'untypical' usage problems because with previous models you could have used camera however you wanted and overheating wasn't happening
absolutely and other owners can repeat my test in their own 'backyard'
I am long time member but I don't know what happened to my account so I had to re-register
---------- Post added 09-10-20 at 02:04 AM ----------
thank you for your input
yes but please understand that ambient has very minor effect on overheating; overheating is happening when internal temp is reach critical limit; I can do same test inside in cold place and overheating will happen but probably a little bit longer; I take pictures indoors and during winter time so overheating is not gone under these conditions but might take a little bit more time to 'reach it'; problem is with getting rid of this temp that sources from inside the camera; I can tell you that taking pictures with opened battery cover has some positive effect to managing temperature
BTW same manual doesn't specify fps for continuous shooting
sure I have plenty of video material (documenting overheating) from streets taken for example in November
that's interesting angle; they knew overheating will happen but designed camera this way
---------- Post added 09-10-20 at 02:05 AM ----------
funny that they implemented intervalometer knowing that overheating might be an issue
---------- Post added 09-10-20 at 02:22 AM ----------
I am no new member but long time heavy user of GR line with probably one the highest 'mileage' taken with previous GR
it is summer and test conditions were chosen to favor overheating quickly but in real life overheating happens no matter what ambient temp is; it might take 40 minutes but as well 90; there are so many factors
of course, this is proof of overheating video; it would be much harder to have someone following me for 90 minutes, recording video and waiting when overheating will happen; what I can and did was recording a video when in real life this happened; I have some of those where you see the camera doing nothing or little and overheating turning off the camera;
exactly; they know it will overheat so they did warning and turning off, if it's in manual then it is affecting all the cameras and IMHO it is fair to call it a common issue
I am not sure if that you could be addressed through repair, you would have to replace battery cover to different or place some heat absorption elements to get this under wraps
yes but that will for studio shoots and not outdoors comfort
there are many different issues that could be repaired by firmware update but having reported these to Ricoh reps didn't make any change yet
---------- Post added 09-10-20 at 02:27 AM ----------
if there is any aggression then prove it, if not why would you write something like that ?
I would post instantly on 10 more forums if that would help getting the issue known and fixed; it is in Ricoh users interest to have camera that is not overheating no matter is stressed or not
self serving ??? overheating while taking pictures is a marketing nightmare and IMHO camera shouldn't be released with such a 'feature'
---------- Post added 09-10-20 at 02:35 AM ----------
OP wrote that in the introduction and summary of the video so I will repeat myself again; as long as your usage is not getting camera too hot (49-53 Celsius)
then you are safe but the purpose of the video is to show that Ricoh made a product that is forcing users to adjust their usage to camera limits; it wasn't the case with previous models; it's not the case with other manufacturers it is Ricoh GRIII that is overheating while taking pictures; no matter what you do with your GRIII (photos, videos, timelapse) overheating might happen and it is a real possibility so you are warned in the manual and at LCD

wrong, in the introduction to the video I said that it is a mix of different elements but it is true that battery has the largest area and so it is main source of high temp BUT it wouldn't be such a problem if that heat would have a way to get out of battery compartment
well Ricoh made it impossible to use powerbank and battery coupler as it was in previous models but you can try with DB100 battery coupler and open battery cover, that should work however I am not sure about sensor heat for longer exposures

OK so I understand you are saying you did stress the camera and nothing happened and you are not yet another user who doesn't reveal if personal usage is reaching high temps.

It is clearly stated in the video that test was done to get this overheating quickly but in real life scenario it takes my camera 40 to 90 minutes for example and it occurs so you don't need to stress the camera, it is a game of waiting when everything is gonna boil to critical temp.

My simple tests showing you that overheating is real and happening.
Bonus section includes 'missed' AF and really strange file sizes which might suggest various compression settings used for nearly same image.
