RICOH GR IIIx HDF, Premium Digital Compact Camera, Built-in Highlight Diffusion Filter, 24MP APS-C CMOS, 40mm f/2.8 Lens

Great camera, superb image quality. Love how compact it is, fits into my purses. I tried bigger cameras before like fujifilm xs20 and it was inconvenient for me to carry it everywhere. I have researched smaller cameras and decided to try this one. FYI I am a total newbie to photography, just know some basics and use tools like Claude/ChatGPT to help me experiment. I ended up getting external flashes as well: GodoxiM20 and LightPix Labs Q20III. They both work well with the camera. Camera has known limitations, but for its size it’s unmatched.

Like it very much.

Update: a few months in, and I did have a minor failure on the camera, but one I attribute to the aftermarket filters and adapters I'd attached to it. I ended up having a front fascia plate pop off, but am re-gluing it and expect no issues since it's not a moving part. I just didn't want to keep using the camera without a cover since dust could get in. Besides that, it's been such a great way to get into photography. I've taken some shots I really like and am constantly learning more and trying new things. It's also the perfect travel camera for its size and the way it gives photos a filmic gleam that people keep telling me they really like and find flattering. Original: Such a great little machine. It's so pocketable that I always have it on me, which has made me use it a ton. My goal was to take more photos and get better at them, and this was the perfect tool for the job. The lowlight performance was better than I expected, and the HDF filter gives things the ethereal, dreamy quality that I'm going for in many cases. I'm in love.

I’ve been an avid photographer for over 10 years and I’ve tried many cameras, including the Leica Q, Fuji X100V and Canon G1X mk iii. This camera is my favorite by far. Image quality is fantastic, the 40mm equivalent focal length is perfect for me, the small pocketable form factor, USB charging, super fast startup and customizability make this my favorite camera of all time. I also purchased the adhesive lens filter and metal lens cap from JJC to minimize dust entry.

The main selling point of this is that it takes tack sharp images while fitting in your pocket. It does it's job great. Only thing that would make this camera perfect is better autofocus. Maybe the next model we'll have a perfect pocket camera.

HDF effect is terrible. Griiix itself is great. Better just get the non hdf and use your own diffusion filters.

Good

Great camera !!!

I was on the fence with this purchase but I have zero regrets. I’m purely a hobby photographer who wanted something small I could bring with to keep me in the moment and off my phone during vacation. I’ve taken some of my favourite photos ever with this!

It's not a point and shoot out of the box, but a camera to learn photography on. You can customize it and make the photos your own. It is perfect for family trips, vacations and capturing memories. With little kids it's great but takes a lot of practice getting action or low light shots right. The new app is an improvement. Read lots of in depth reviews to make sure it suits your needs before buying. For me this was perfect.

I bought this for a trip I'm currently on, this camera takes wonderful photos, went to a museum and a cultural site the photos were sublime off them, would highly recommend when you're running around town!!

Easy to carry with you and takes phenomenal pictures. Less 'in your face' than a traditional DLSR.

This is an 800 dollar camera that went up to 1,400 because of its popularity and now Amazon has decided to charge 2500 for it as of today. Absolutely wild. Get it from a local store instead The camera itself is very nice though. Good pocket camera.
