I got into a lot of trouble in an internet camera chat group by stating that if you are a photographer then you need a Ricoh GR. I stand by that statement and now amend it to, 'you need a Ricoh GR III'.

Ricoh GR Digital III review: Ricoh GR Digital III
Two things might stop you considering the Ricoh GR Digital III: the price and its fixed-focal-length lens. If you can swallow those, you can look forward to a camera with levels of build, design and image quality that really set it apart from the rest Would anyone in their right mind contemplate spending £530 or so on a compact camera that doesn't even have a zoom lens? Why, for that money you could buy a decent digital SLR. The Ricoh GR Digital III had better be something pretty special.
Pros:
- Great build quality and finish
- excellent lens performance
- straightforward, hands-on controls.
Cons:
- High price
- fixed-focal-length lens
- adjustment lever can be fiddly.

Ricoh GR III review
The Ricoh GR III updates the GR series in some really important ways, bringing a modern high-resolution sensor and hybrid autofocus system to the lineup for the first time. Controls have been simplified, and a new touch-sensitive rear screen makes autofocus positioning and image navigation much faster. Image quality is excellent, although JPEG shooters might find that the 'Std' profile delivers rather dull results. The lack of a flash, and unimpressive battery performance are the only major black marks against this pocketable camera.
Pros:
- Street shooting and casual photography, or travel photography where a small and light camera, with a medium-wide lens is very useful.
Cons:
- Any work that requires long shooting sessions, long focal lengths, or low light shooting, where the GR III's autofocus system can struggle.

The GR III was always going to be a tricky release for Ricoh to pull off. The GR II was so well-loved that a rushed or poorly thought-out successor might have seriously upset a core of loyal users that Ricoh can ill-afford to lose.
Pros:
- Street shooting and casual photography
- or travel photography where a small and light camera
- with a medium-wide lens is very useful
Cons:
- Any work that requires long shooting sessions
- long focal lengths
- or low light shooting
- where the GR III's autofocus system can struggle

Hello I had the Ricoh GRIII since May and this I want I think so far: What I like very much: This camera works better for street photography than anything I have tried before. It draws almost no attention. It is so small, easy to use and discrete.

Ricoh GR comparative review
DSLR image quality finally comes to Ricoh's well-respected enthusiast compact. The GR retains its predecessor's excellent and customizable user interface, making it a pleasure to use as a pocketable wide-angle photographers' camera. The JPEGs are occasionally a little muted but the raw files, feature set, and lens quality mean it's capable of outstanding results.
Pros:
- High quality photography in a variety of conditions, if you're after something small, wide-angle and engaging to use.
Cons:
- Action photography or movie shooting.
