When the Ricoh GR III was announced, I was very disappointed to see that it was more of an upgrade rather than a brand new camera that truly brought it into the modern digital world. By that, I wanted a reason to spend a lot of money such as a full frame sensor, weather sealing, improved autofocus, etc.

But what I felt the Ricoh GR III was a long wait from the GR II for only a few sorts of minor updates to simply just keep it on par with a number of other products on the market. And after spending some extra time with the Ricoh GR III, I can completely understand how a street photographer would want to use it--but if you're anything outside of this niche then you're limiting yourself. Arguably, you can also reach for cameras with interchangeable lenses that can do even more. Further, phones are very capable these days as street photography cameras. If you're deeply entrenched into the fad that is modern street photography, then just hope that this camera will last you a few years. . thephoblographer.com
