Own and have used them all - Sony, Canon, Leica, Fuji. Nothing compares to this little guy. Has reignited my passion to shoot and is now always in my back pocket. Any other shooters feel the same?

Ricoh made very few of these relative to other cameras and a lot of people find them to be a bit shit. Also street photography sucks.

Yeah I’ll probably get one soon, something about the saturation and contrast is very good with them, I also live in a city now but they are way overpriced

I really want a nice compact like this for travel or just if I'm not taking my main somewhere, but so many compacts I see reviews for all say they are built badly (Fuji and Ricoh in particular) and I don't know what I should go with.

I use a Sony full frame with as main, but walking around with 3 pounds around my neck sucks and is not an option for a party or a small concert or tour with friends since you're "that guy with the camera", walking around and distracting people.The GRiiix is on my belt and people dismiss it as shitty early 2000s camera and don't bother.
Takes super sharp images, also in low light. AF sucks in low light and in AF-C in general, it hunts.
The RAWs need to no tweaking aside from a bit of contrast and the lens correction and I mostly just use the in-camera editing since my custom presets do exactly what I'd do in post.Don't know why anons are so assblasted about it.
Takes great images, is tiny, easy to use, well thought out and not expensive compared to the competing models.

Unless you are super insecure and paranoid, or a turbo gear queer who hates sony for lacking some technical perfection and requires the sharpest lens to pixel peep, so you can only use the GR or your fat ass nikanon and S L USM VR lens, it’s not actually that great.

>all these street photography fags
While it excels at street photography for obvious reasons, its true role is as a daily life camera.
The GRIIIx has replaced my phone for such purposes. I take it in my pocket every time I leave the house for anything more than a quick trip to the grocery store. The leaf shutter and built in ND filter are not to be underestimated; you can do things that are essentially impossible with a phone (that's not even mentioning the absolute given difference in IQ and pure visual appeal).

Ricoh could have asked for such a price if they made it from aluminum and gave it a solid state battery with double the capacity. Instead if all the same unimaginative shit

APS-C is a mental illness. If I want to shoot small sensor size I use my iPhone. If I want art I use FF or bigger. Everything in between has no usecase & you're lying to yourself.

I got a grIIIx after not owning a camera for a long time and I love it. I find the focal length great 90% of the time, sometimes it’s a smidge too tight. It has its quirks that take some time to figure out, but the menus and button customization makes perfect sense, and snap focus is so unbelievably genius that I’m surprised it’s not in every camera. Lens is sharp. Moderate vignetting, extremely mild distortion, both easily corrected. Having DNGs as raw files is nice. The wireless transfer phone app also just works. Battery life isn’t fantastic, but if you’re just shooting it’s not really a problem, menus and reviewing photos will kill the battery really fast. I’ve spammed hundreds of pictures on a battery charge no issue.The autofocus is by far the weakest aspect. In low light it can’t focus for shit sometimes.

Imagine of it had weather sealing and better quality control. Also 28mm is retarded either go 24mm or 35mm.
Anyway.

Nikon Df (smallest full frame digital SLR) and Zf (mirrorless that looks like the bastard child of the Df and a Sony) are also options: weather sealed, excellent high iso without any noise, it's a nikon so you could probably grab a photo before it runs away...or if you are an autist, a Sigma fp L (61 megapoxels but slow readout) or a Sigma BF (brand new out of the oven)... both are weather sealed bodies

Fuji should release a new XF10 or X70. My XF10 has 2 main issues now, getting the parts replaced is worth almost the same as when I bought it new. Used prices are also heavily inflated. But getting a GR3 for around $1000 is also inflated, when these pocket compacts seem to have durability issues compared to a small MILC.
A
Anon09/19/25, 09:42No.4469112
Preordered the GRIV because I thought it is nice to have something THAT compact to bring everywhere and always. The next bigger camera I have is the Leica Q1 with the same focal length but full frame and probably better in every way. It's compact but not to the point that I can just throw it in my pants be done. I always have to bring a small bag at least.But the more reviews I look at the more I feel it's not worth it. I was looking for those new cinema presets but they look rather shit to be honest. Reminds me of the very old instagram filter to make something look "retro". Should I still give it a try or just cancel the order?

Anon09/25/25, 13:56No.4470516
After about a year, I sold my GRiiix. The size and image quality is pretty great, but there are some problems.-the camera doesn’t feel like a durable, premium product considering the price. It’s almost completely plastic, and every dial and button feels cheap and rickety. 20 year old cheap point and shoot digicams have more robust build quality than this. I don’t trust it long term at all, especially considering the horror stories of trying to get these things repaired through Ricoh.-it truly is a dust vacuum. I kept mine in a perfectly clean fanny pack inside a brand new beer coozie for protection, but it still sucked up enough dust to show on the sensor.-baked in noise reduction on raw files makes it incredibly difficult to use better algorithms in post.-autofocus is a total joke. It’s so so so bad. It’ll miss in the easiest of situations.-40mm is a good focal length but it is a bit tight sometimes.-I get why it’s not there, but I really do miss having a viewfinder.Going back to an ILC, fun camera but considering the exorbitant price these things are going for it’s not worth it. I don’t think these things are durable enough for the “always on you” gimmick they go for.

apparently the first batches of the GR iv have issues with front lens assembly and the front dial and it's been fixed in the ones after august 12th. What the hell is wrong with ricoh. They barely make any as is and they can't get a consistent quality of the few they do make. I wish Nikon or canon would make a new fixed ASPC point and shoot so I wouldn't have to deal with Ricoh's bullshit.

Desu, I just want Snoy to make an APSC GR version with snap focus. Non-retracting lens and built-in fill flash like the XF10. Good AF is already given with PDAF, around $600 (no tariff). GR2 or XF10 size is fine.
