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.

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.
