Ricoh GR III Street Edition Premium Compact Digital Camera with extra battery DB-110 and Case GC-9 case - The ultimate snapshooter

I’m a professional studio photographer and bought this to replace my iPhone camera. I don’t like all the processing the phone does to images, hdr and long exposure, skin smoothing. I wanted something portable and lightweight, something that would fit in a pocket and this fits the bill nicely. It’s a shame it’s so expensive but I don’t think there’s anything else out there that touches the ricoh for quality and portability. I’m very happy with the purchase, images are fantastic and I’m having fun taking photos with it. It’s always with me and it’s very easy to send photos to your phone and edit on the go. I love it.

Bought this as a pocketable go-anywhere camera and it totally fits the bill. The snap focus feature alone makes this worth the entry price and I'm really surprised this hasn't been adopted more widely. Can be used one handed really easily, and the image quality is excellent unless you want to make billboards.Honestly, this is just a brilliant little camera. Useless for headshots but great for just about everything else.Positive:Snap focus, pocketable, 28mm lens, APSC sensor, quick power on/off, intuitive menus, customisable settings, face recognition.Cons:Low light performance is not great from 6400 up but fixable in post, battery life is pretty lousy, no viewfinder, no flash, expensive.If they made a 35mm version I'd grab it over an X100 any day. Thumbs up from me for what it's worth.

Superb excellent camera

Great camera for stret shooting. Sharp and handy.

Got a great deal on the Ricoh GR3 Street Edition (same price as the standard version). Unfortunately it was only supplied with a European plug and not the usual UK and Euro adapter. Still for £100 discount I can forgive that omission.Overall, fantastic image quality in the most compact, pocketable APSC camera on the market.Great carry with you everywhere street camera.

This is in my opinion the best compact camera in its class.Different league

The lens protective shutter didn’t return to shut

Be aware, the GR iii (Street Edition) I purchased through Amazon Prime came only with a French instruction manual. Inconvenient, but as I paid a decent price for the Street edition, with two batteries and a case, I have downloaded the English version from Ricoh. Convenient to have it on my phone anyway, and as I am a competent digital camera user I think I can work through the settings ok. Lots of useful videos on YouTube about the best settings to use, anyway. You will need to purchase a battery charger, for convenience if you have more than one battery, which is really a requirement for this camera..
