Spare GR3 batteries are NT$400 in Taiwan. Just buy a few more!

I can tell you - with 100% absolute certainty - that your request will make not one iota of difference as to when dpreview decide to post their review of the camera.

I don't think the tropical country thing makes any difference at all. I live in Taiwan, and have never noticed any difference in battery life (of any camera) between here, Thailand, the UK, or ...

I charge my X70 batteries this way, and yes, it’s very slow. But I do it when I’m not using the camera. I also have a charger, but I never use it. (Also, the X70 batteries seem to last for ever. I ...

Charge in-camera at home?

Wonderful photograph; stunning! Such a shame the camera *appears* to have so many tiny niggles that people feel are unjustified at this price point. Not to mention a weirdly noisy IBIS.

I’ve had lots of cameras with IBIS, and none of them have rattled and clunked! How could Ricoh have got this so badly wrong?

There already seems to be a *very* long list of things that people want to go into a firmware update, and it’s getting longer day by day. How good are Ricoh at releasing updates, and how much ...

I have no idea what you mean. The GR, maybe; the X70 definitely no. Not mentioned anywhere in their literature. What is a 'gallerist'?

I wouldn’t hold your breath on that. If there ever is a GR4, it could be 5 years away, knowing the speed which Ricoh works at!

I tend to keep old cameras. I have loads of them scattered about the house!

That seems perfectly normal for a 28mm lens.

I think this is super-important, and not talked about often enough. My Fuji X70 could give me fantastically sharp photos; some real stunners. But, OTOH, I could look at a hundred photos I took on a ...

I see GRs fairly regularly in downtown Taipei, and reckon I am in several different people’s computers. Not too many white-haired, white-bearded folk in Taiwan, so I’ve been snapped more than once ...

Nope. The lack of a flash is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I used it on my X70 from time to time, dialed back to -1, to good effect. The battery thing isn’t a problem as 3rd party ones are so ...

.... for the GR3 launch. It’s a big deal here, in a small country. Lots of photos: http://www.falconkimo.com/?p=17721&fbclid=IwAR214yulA50mU7CgWnBXk5afFRvaWT3f088nU5sgcY7lXvEJL8c5PivWYcg

"The image is Sharp, Sharp Sharp. Did not have the chance to download images yet, but on the back screen looks fabulous." What a photo looks like on a 3" screen and on a 30" monitor, or printed, ...

Good grief! I bought the 5050, and although it was capable of taking wonderful pictures when it wanted to, it was the most frustrating camera I have ever owned in my life! Horrible UI, and ...

Not really. If true, it shows Ricoh don't really understand battery power management. Battery technology is very advanced these days, so there is absolutely no reason for sub-par battery ...
