We’ve been producing the GR series for more than 20 years, and the cameras have evolved as a result of our mapping to the requirements of many snap shooters. The GR III will be the latest version of this iconic camera.

The smartphone may have replaced a dedicated camera for many, but the Ricoh GR III is here to remind us that’s not universally the case. The latest in Ricoh’s series of super-pocketable street shooters, it packs the highest resolution sensor yet – and, at $899, the highest price tag too.

APS-C sensor in a tiny form-factor, OIS is excellent, Image quality handily bests smartphone cameras

Expensive, Autofocus can be frustrating, No EVF

Whereas the previous GR II camera was a very modest upgrade of the original GR, principally only adding wi-fi and NFC connectivity to its predecessor, the new GR III model is a much more significant reworking of the GR blueprint.

The Ricoh GR III is a premium APS-C format compact camera aimed at enthusiast photographers. According to Ricoh, ‘snap shooting is the basis of photography’ and the GRIII is the ultimate snap-shooting camera.

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...

Street shooting and casual photography, or travel photography where a small and light camera, with a medium-wide lens is very useful.

Any work that requires long shooting sessions, long focal lengths, or low light shooting, where the GR III's autofocus system can struggle.

First off, it’s not just a street photography camera, although it’s certainly excellent for that. It’s also a terrific travel camera because of its compact size, easy operation and full feature set.

The RICOH GR III is decent for travel photography. It delivers excellent image quality and performs well even in low light. It's remarkably compact and easy to take with you on the go. It also feels well-built and has a very bright screen that can easily overcome glare in sunny conditions.

Excellent image quality., Incredibly portable., Bright screen easily combats glare.

Poor battery life., Unreliable autofocus., May be uncomfortable for those with larger hands.
