Amazing review, so well put together. Most of all, your passion for photography just shines through.

Superb Review with so Great Details and your practical experience - trank you so mich - i think i habe to geht this camera

could not agree more, I use Canon gear every day as I shoot full time for work but this little camera is so refreshing and offers such a different shooting experience.Great review sir.

Hi, Thanks for video My GR III has annoying feature. exposure for display is changing accordingly lightening, I mean, if cameras exposure mode is set to manual exposure , brightnes display is changing independently from exposure mode constantly and I cant determine over/under exposure by display

I am so pleased I found your channel, I've not long bought the GR111 Street Edition and was looking for the work that other people had produced with this AMAZING camera, there really are some talented photographers out there. Love your work and now I'm subscribed I won't miss anything. Hopefully..... 😬

Your photos are absolutely amazing!! Your compositions just look so clean !

I love when camera is reviewed by real photographer. Love your channel!

Love your video, thank you!

Great review!

Great review mate!

Good to have you back dude!

I wonder if the dust/lint is related to the camera being in pockets, more than dust from shooting?

Thanks for your review. Keep in mind the GR’s battery is the size of a CF card. This makes storage of extras easy. I use pelican’s water tight case. It holds 3 and fits nicely in a pocket.

This is the first time I've watched one of your video's and it was a very well thought out and informative video!! For a couple years I've considered getting a Richoh GR but I just didn't know if I should spend that much money for a Ricoh or just use my Pixel cell phone camera. Maybe some day I'll take the plunge and get a GR. Again a great video!! Best of luck in your photography journey. Duane

Great camera, but had to send mine in for repair. The IBIS mech started to get wonky and interfere with focusing. Can't wait for it to get back

Is it possible to lock controls on the GRiii while shooting. Specifically the ADJ/EV Compensation Lever and the Control Dial? I am shooting in manual mode, from the hip, and find the shutter speed and exposure compensation change because the controls rub against the body? Thanks.

Watched this vid. Bought a GR. Don’t know if I will like it. The hurdle I have to overcome is the FOV. Like 50 and 35 is OK. I’m afraid 28 is going to be too wide. I really don’t want to get THAT close. I will try and see if I can deal with this. No flash? No problem. I’m a natural light photographer. LOVE that there is IBIS. Snap focus seems like a good idea and one of the features GR users rave about. LOVE the high contrast B&W film mode. Will play with the highlight saving mode. May or may not be a feature I will use. Of course, the pocketabilty is a major feature. Pants vs. a jacket pocket. I live in Seattle so I’m wearing a jacket nice months a year. You know what I mean. Want to love this cam. If not, I’ll stay with my 100 S or T. Also just bought an XPRO3. I know, a different animal. Just go out and shoot. Mask on Nurse Marty

By the end of the video. I thought i was lookin at Rob Halford from the 80s Btw fuji xf10 user but ricoh sounds awesome

I was all set to buy the X100F after watching a previous video of yours. Now you have the GR 3. Is there a big improvement?

One of the first things I did after buying the GR3 was to superglue that adapter ring around the lens on. I have no intention of buying the adapter lens. That ring comes off too easily so my solution was to glue it on.

Long time no see.. Are you planning on releasing more videos ? Hope so 😁

Love you pictures from GRIII, did you shoot raw most of the time?

I have been considering buying the GR iii for over a year but I have started reading concerns on dust and dirt being sucked into the extracting lens when turning it on and off. Users are saying you have to send it to Ricoh to clean it. To pay $900 for any camera to experience this problem is discouraging. I have started to consider in getting another camera. Best of luck in your photography journey. Best wishes Duane

I have only just come across your channel, I like your style, just a quick question.....where have you been for the last year !!!

Came here and subscribed from Camera Conspiracies!

great video, were the images shown SOOC jpegs or edit DNG files. If JPEGS do you mind sharing your film settings. Nice colors.

Thanks for video. Do you shoot jpgs at standard setting?

I bought the griiix and its awesome

Always love your reviews and energy. Are you still using the camera?

About time damnit.

Thanks for the great video..... But guys, i need help to calm my nerves. Am going for a trip in another land. Thought of just arming myself with only the GR III and leave the dSLR at home. Should i or should i not? Have been peeling many the petals of many flowers deciding. Pls help. Thanks.

The photo you took of the guy with the wind blown white hair was staggering

Thanks for the review, will stick with my Fuji X100F.

Saw this on petapixel. Great video & review. Showing how you use highlight metering with the ricoh inspired me to figure out how to do it with my own camera. Tried it yesterday on the street, my photos looked so much better straight out of camera. :)

I will hold on to my dear GR II until it dies on me, then I will support Ricoh to buy GR III to keep alive the GR series (at the same time I keep an eye on the upcoming Fuji x100V. This could be the camera that makes me unfaithful to Ricoh. Well, lets See). Thanks :)

The IBIS is nice (and works fairly well!) for evening/night shots. Just got my GRiii a couple of days ago and so far that's all I've really had the time to play with. :) I just set my Video button to turn it on/off though. Will likely keep if off for daytime/fast shooting, as I'm sure the IBIS is a big part of the battery consumption. Good review, and nice photos too ("click to enlarge" on the web review doesn't work though, FYI!). Perhaps I'll bump in to you in Toronto.

Please do a comparison of fujix70 and ricoh gr iii.

Awesome review. Bang-on beginning to end and reflects my thoughts on the camera and the GR line. I've been shooting it (like you, film as well) for over a decade and none other compare. A couple differing thoughts: 1. That Ricoh branded battery charger (and for that matter battery spares) wasn't the only unit available at or before launch. Any camera that uses an Olympus style Li-92B or Li-90B will work perfectly fine. There are and have been *many* available, but few-to-no sellers marked them as compatible early on. They were. It's the same battery. Though I've yet to find a 3rd-party maker that lasts as long as OEM, despite the very overstated mA ratings on some. But whatever, they're cheap. 2. I actually love the on-camera USB-C charging solution. I do wish they'd included the off-camera charger, but the aforementioned after-market units are dirt cheap. For the simple fact that it's USB-C is why I love it. I can transfer images *while* charging it without a) using a different cable than I have for my smartphone, and b) I can use *any* USB-C cable connected to *any* of my power sources, even for my laptop because the brick uses USB-C universal charging and detect and supply the correct amperage. In short, it's just the inclusion of USB-C in general that I love and opens up many possibilities for charging and transfer that weren't possible before. Plus, you know, it's current tech. 3. And this is related to all the above... You *can* use your camera while you charge the battery if you're using a USB-C power-brick. Sure it's clunky and not ideal, but with a decently long USB cable (a nice braided one that doesn't bind) you can plug it and shoot it "tethered" in an emergency situation. And the battery will be charging *while* you're shooting, which happens quickly because USB-C charges at a higher rate. Many people carry around a power-brick for their juice-hungry smartphones these days already... You can use the same one for the GR if needed. Boom. Carry on. :) 4. IBIS. I once agreed with you and I certainly didn't have it on my personal list of things I wanted too see on a new GR.... But damn, it works. I can shoot this thing, which already has (as you mention) *drastically* good and improved high-ISO performance, down to 1/4 sec shutter and with IBIS it's golden. Pure and simple. I didn't care or want but I've certainly been impressed by its effectiveness. Blah blah blah. I'm done blathering. NICE REVIEW!

Did you skip over a few GR digital cameras? They made a series of small sensor cameras up to GR Digital IV. But you probably know that.

To summarise; EVF = The Matrix LCD Screen = The real world

It needs a view finder of some sort. An EVF would make the thing perfect, but you can buy the Ricoh GV-1 or GV-2, which are optical view finders, which is better than nothing. LCD screens are OK, but they can get really annoying on a bright day, when you can't see anything. You conveniently forgot to mention that.

Don't you think that a fixed screen with a retractable lens that let's in dust are real drawbacks?

This or fujifilm x100f????

here from Camera Conspiracies

Think I'll keep my Fujifilm XT-2 🤔😜😁

I use just 2 batteries and a small power bank.

Is there some How To Be A KZfaqr guide somewhere that tells you that a ridiculous number of jump cuts will make your videos edgy and unique? Yup, edgy and unique, just like everybody else.

High ISO still not great. Just a bit better.

Dust magnets.. need weather sealed bodies

I t does not come colse to leica glass!!...lol!!
