Ricoh GRIII camera review

I borrow a Ricoh GRIII camera for a week. Here is my take.

The good,

  • USB-C port
  • Touch screen
  • Boots up very quickly
  • Sharp lens
  • large APS-C sensor has decent dynamic range
  • Dedicated knob for exposure compensation.
  • supports geo tagging
  • small form factor. fits in a pocket.
  • The lens has a marco mode.

The bad,

  • The UI is too "simplistic".
  • Records video at a maximum resolution of 1080p.
  • The screen is fixed. It cannot be tilted.
  • No viewfinder.
  • The 28mm lens is not wide enough for landscape.
  • Auto focusing is slower than SONY RX100 mark 5a.

Verdict: GRIII is a very good fixed lens camera for still shoots.
