APS-C sensor inside pocketable body ; Practically no distortion from lens ; Sharp and contrasty LCD screen ; Very good control over noise at high ISOs ; Great detail across frame, even at f/2.8 ; Effective Shake Reduction system ; Generally fast and...

AF can be indecisive and unintuitive ; Poor video quality and no 4K recording ; Colours a little flat on standard settings ; LCD screen fixed in place ; Battery life is quite poor ; Dynamic range could be better ; Expensive

The GR III is a considerable update on the GR II, blessed with a speedy performance and the capability to produce detailed, stabilised, distortion-free images, all from a tiny body you can get into your pocket. Low-light focusing performance, together...

Very good detail in images ; Effective Shake Reduction system ; Very fast operation ; Tiny, rugged body ; Low image noise at moderate ISOs

Terrible battery life ; Autofocus could be better ; Vignetting even at smaller apertures ; LCD screen doesn't tilt ; Relatively poor video recording

If you're a fan of the GR line you'll love what Ricoh has done here. With fast operation, dependable image quality, a crisp and responsive touchscreen and an even smaller body than before, the GR III has masses going for it. It's not cheap, though, and...

Large APS-C sensor means great quality ; Fast aperture with high-quality fixed lens further assures quality ; Close-up macro without accessory ; Touchscreen controls bring the GR into a far more usable and modern state

Screen gets overly hot in use ; No vari-angle LCD screen ; Lacks viewfinder ; No weather-sealing ; Autofocus not fastest on market ; New high ISO sensitivities are pointless - far too much image noise!

A fixed-lens compact camera (no zoom, if you're unfamiliar) won't be for everyone. But for those in the know, the GR III's fast aperture and new optic combined with three-axis stabilisation open the door to great image quality potential. Shame there's...

Superb magnesium-alloy build, compact and lightweight, excellent handling, great image quality, excellent lens, comprehensive level of specification

Large screen hampered in brighter conditions - viewing becomes difficult, no built-in optical viewfinder, pop-up flash position means errant fingers can inadvertently hinder it, Mode dial’s lock fiddly to use

Fittingly, it’s third time lucky for Ricoh’s GR Digital Mk III. The Mk I was good but had issues over noise, the Mk II was better but still was not quite there. But here at last the promise shown by those forbears has born fruit; the GR Digital Mk III...

The Ricoh GR Digital III is sturdy enough build to withstand everyday knocks, boasts an impressive lens and a speedy image processor. We like that its unusual and useful spirit-level feature ensures straight horizons. The Ricoh GR Digital III suffers...

The Ricoh GR III gives high image quality, with sharp detailed images, whilst also giving ample customisation of the output. There are a number of colour presets available, and each of these can be customised with options for saturation, contrast,...

If we've a niggle it's that the auto white balance tends to produce slightly cool Jpegs, but shoot Raw and it's immaterial. Handling is excellent, thanks to the large rubber-covered grip and well-spaced, logically placed controls. We've even good...

The latest in Ricoh's GR DIGITAL range of superior compact digital cameras is its finest achievement yet with exceptional picture quality, a wide range of manual settings, RAW capability and plenty of scope for customisation... but all at an...
