Rented the GR IIIx for a trip and finds it lives up to the hype for recipes and quality, with a learning curve.

“It’s living up to the hype with the recipes and quality.”

Finds the GR IIIx great for clean pocketable JPEGs but misses zoom and a flash.

“I have this camera, it’s great for shooting clean jpgs with something I can carry in my pocket.”

Gets great pictures from the GR IIIx's sensor but finds it demanding rather than point-and-shoot.

“I have one and must say it creates great pictures on its big sensor, but it is not the point-and-shoot it looks like”

Owns the GR IIIx and no longer uses their more expensive prosumer cameras.

“I have one and I wish I would have bought it first.”

Has had it four or five years; tack sharp with amazing colours, but the dial misbehaves, battery contact is flaky and battery life weak.

“It’s tack sharp, pocketable, and produces amazing colors.”

Recently bought the GR IIIx alongside a full-frame kit; its portability makes photography more enjoyable, though it's not for video.

Keeps a GR IIIx for daily use beside their Z6 and finds it far beyond phones.

“Ricoh GR cameras are amazing, and light-years over phones in terms of quality.”

Pairs the GR IIIx with their Z5II and calls it the only truly pocketable APS-C camera.

“Ricoh GRIIIx. It's the only truly pocketable APSC camera definitely underrated compared to the hyped Fuji X100VI.”

Owns a GR IIIx: unmatched pocketability and awesome image quality, but no fun to shoot without a viewfinder.

“while the pocketability of the gr3x is unmatched and the image quality is awesome, I dont find fun in using a cam without a viewfinder.”

Their GR IIIx is objectively better than their old GR II, though they miss the GR II's JPEG profiles.

“My GR IIIx is objectively a better camera but some of the jpg profiles on GR II are quite special.”

Loves their GR IIIx, but its autofocus is poor in low light.

“I love my Ricoh but wouldn't use it at a concert, the autofocus is notoriously poor especially in any low light environments.”
mixed

Loves their GR IIIx for its focal length, pocketability, great image quality and surprisingly good stabilisation.

“I love the my gr iii x for the focal length and pocketabilty.”
positive

Likes how the GR IIIx's fixed lens pushes them to be more creative.

“I kind of like the limiting factor of the fixed lens on the Ricoh GRiiix I own.”
positive

After disappointing files from an older GR, they bought the GR IIIx a year ago and are delighted with it.

“Then, a year ago, I bought one of the newer aps-c versions, the GR IIIX.”

Their GR IIIx took amazing photos, but worry about sensor dust kept it in a case, so they used it less.

“I had a gr3x which took amazing photos but i was worried about the dust sensor thing.”
