Ricoh GR IIIx Digital Camera [Focal length 40mm] [Equipped...

Most Helpful Review

"Edit 2024: I've had my original GRiii for 3 years now, it has 9000 shots under its belt, and it is battered -- scratched up, with a significantly dusty sensor, a broken front cover and a temperamental control wheel. It just about works, the pictures are still superb, but it has no resale value.However, I thought I would give this a try because I prefer a 40mm focal length and just like the previous version, the picture quality is superb, and the pocketable size is incredible - but you have to treat it with care!The downside is that a lens cap, skin, protective cover and maybe a stick-on filter are all essential in my opinion. If you cannot do this, then you'll be risking a very expensive liability.The utterly amazing image quality is let down by it not being a strong camera, especially around the retractable lens cover; dust can get on the sensor, and it isn't weather sealed. Even with a filter the lens is vulnerable, and because this is pocketable, you do need to take extra care that you have a clean pocket.When I made the original purchase, I opted to return it -- but a year later and I've bought it again. In my opinion, the good outweighs the bad."
