About this deal

The affiliate link cost you nothing extra and I get a little commission for recommending the product… Thanks! Camera technical details can get complicated quickly, but we all need a place to start before diving into the deep end. So sure, when I go with an official large camera, I often choose my Pen-F for the ability to also use long lenses. The tiny bit that's there can easily be dealt with by applying the lens correction built into Lightroom. That's usually with the screen on its brightest setting, which indeed is bright and works well even on sunny days here in Tokyo.

Sometimes you have only a fraction of second to capture something interesting and slower cameras will leave you pictureless. And the other part I have learned to appreciate over the years is that while optics with a large maximum aperture have their reasons for existence (bokehhhhhhhhhh! I’ve never seen so many negative reviews when the GRII was released and it is ,actually, a better camera overall in real use. In addition to stills shooting, the GR III is also capable of recording Full HD 1080 video at 60p, 30p, and 24p frame rates.

Still, it’s not on the big dial anymore, which makes me especially sad: all the logic is there, but you’re not supposed to use it conveniently. In dark conditions the camera can struggle a bit - it does emit a green beam to try and achieve focus in these conditions. It is great for travel (small body, small batteries both in capacity and size, but that's why you can have two other with you without noticing). This caused changes in the weight balance and holdability: there’s just less space to grip the body.

Although I shoot various genres of photography with the GR3 , it was primarily designed for street shooters. While I always shoot and archive RAW-files, it's sometimes handy to have high-quality JPG's ready for transfer to the phone for things like Instagram Stories or quick shares with friends and family. Ricoh has a separate strip on the bottom of the screen, and after half-pressing the shutter button, it shows only the most relevant info there, while the frame itself is absolutely clear and is not cluttered by anything. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.Thanks to the Bluetooth® connection, just by selecting application's shooting mode, camera can be activated and establish wireless LAN connection even though it is in the Sleep Mode. The camera also features the accelerator unit, which is designed to optimize image data delivered by the image sensor, and provides a top sensitivity of ISO 102400 for super-high-sensitivity photography.
