I've now switched between Fuji and Ricoh for a second time in a few years, and I am convinced the current GR II is a very well designed and competitive imaging machine, but I am definitely hoping for a GR III within another year or two. So, here are my two cents worth for Ricoh’s design and engineering teams. If you’ve also used the GR series, let me know what you think.
I went into it in a bit more depth here, but the short list follows.
Do
…add high quality 14-bit raw file support, faster data handling and upgraded processing
…bump up the pixel density while also increasing the per pixel performance as long as the lens can handle it
…increase the AF speed a bit without sacrificing accuracy
…improve dust and drip sealing, if it does not negatively impact the crisp feel and performance of the shooting controls
…add iOS/Android app support for raw file wifi transfer and JPEG conversion
…increase video bit rate and improve the codec
Do not
…increase the dimensions and weight significantly
…decrease battery life
…drastically change the awesome lens design without some serious justifications
…change the well thought out shooting controls without a lot of validation work with outstanding photographers
…spend development money to add a huge number of rarely used in camera JPEG conversion options/filters when my phone can do it better
…spend development money to add 4k video unless it's really easy these days
Cheers!
