  • Like it, thanks for sharing. How hard was it to pull the shadows out of the back of the subject's coat? Well done!
  • Yes, I'm in the Apple eco-system and can't ever seem to spring myself.
  • I wonder if the Bluetooth in the GRIII(x) can communicate with an off-unit flash.  To be honest, I've never had much success with either the BT or Wifi on my GR.  I gave up and just use an Apple ...
  • I did like some of the older point & shoots that had something like a scissor extender to get the flash up and away from the lens.  But I think they had so many problems with warranty repairs ...
  • The Relfx looks interesting to me because of the small footprint.  However, this looks like a red-eye magnet since the flash is so close to the lens.
  • With my DSLR I had excellent results with a bounce flash w/diffuser.  Maybe I'll cave at some point and get a Pentax flash unit for my GRIII.
  • That's no good! I guess if all else fails you can try a Reset?
  • Good repair companies are like menu items at a restaurant, as soon you get used to ordering your favorite item they remove it from the menu, usually with unexplained reasons. With regard to having ...
  • You really can't beat a flash for fill-in lighting during the day or in harsh lighting conditions like a setting sun behind a person, etc.  However, for me this is not enough to buy one.
  • I love a lot of the customization offered by the GRIII as well.  In manual mode I switched around the shutter and aperture.  I have the shutter on the front (forefinger) and aperture on the back ...
  • I know almost nothing about typewriters but the Roxy looks pretty cool! This was the big news a while ago where I live. https://6abc.com/tom-hanks-typewriter-donation-vintage-philly-store/13181395/ ...
  • My hands are pretty big and I just couldn't keep a grip on the RX100.  I suppose the hand grip could be a bit larger on the GRIII but that would defeat the form factor.  The way I tend to hold it ...
  • I'm doing less and less post.  However, if I feel a scene or image may be worth it, I will certainly shoot in RAW (or RAW + JPEG) and figure it out (crop) later. I live in the city and Marie ...
  • Excellent reply Promeneur. For me personally, I'm not afraid to use the crop modes (which I have assigned to the video button on the side). So I feel like I might have a little more reach than most ...
  • They did hit the nail on the head with the cons.  But the battery is sooo small that I can easily carry one or two extras without adding much weight to my small carry bag.  The only thing is that ...
  • For a while the Sony RX100vii was considered one of the best travel cameras since it was compact and had a zoom lens.  I handled it before buying my GRIII and it was very difficult for me to hold ...
  • Even the underdog wins once in a while!
  • Created discussion thread Ricoh GRIII is Best Travel Camera!
    "The Ricoh GR III is the latest in a series of classic compact cameras with a large APS-C sensor and an 28mm equivalent lens. It's not the most flexible camera but it's one of the most pocketable ...
  • Holy cow!
