Using the Ricoh GR IIIx as my everyday camera | It's not just for street photography 📸
The Ricoh GR IIIx has been my everyday carry camera for more than 8 months, it literally goes everywhere with me. In this video, I will share sample pictures and explain why I like this camera. This is NOT a camera for everyone but for people who really love photography and the photographic process.

The Ricoh GR IIIx is great for quick pictures when we’re hanging out with family or just out and about. Since it can fit in my pants pocket I tend to take it everywhere with me.
The power of the GR IIIx is when doing street photography. Being able to us zone focusing it’s really easy to snap away when people are within the focus parameters. I don’t do a ton of street photography but it’s nice to have, when the opportunity come about.
Being out in nature is one of my favorite things to do. Even though a 40mm lens isn’t ideal for landscapes, I find the GR IIIx more than capable of capturing great images.
After using the Ricoh GR IIIx for almost 9 months my favorite feature is the close up mode. I know Ricoh says macro but it’s not really macro. Being able to press a button and get close to an object is really fun. And while it doesn’t rival my Sony 90mm macro lens, it’s really nice to have when I don’t want to bring that lens and the Sony A7ii .
Overall I am really happy with the Ricoh GR IIIx purchase. It really is the best camera I own because it goes everywhere with me. And as Mr. Chase Jarvis once said “The best camera is the one with you.”

Ricoh GRiiix First Impressions
The Ricoh GR iiix is one of the best pocketable cameras I've ever used. This video is my first impression of the camera. Having used it for a little bit I am in love with it.
Below are a few sample pictures I’ve captured so far.
When I was doing research on the Ricoh GR iiix all I was seeing is how great of a street photography camera it was. But I’ve used it mainly to document my life and to have a camera that can literally fit in my pocket. With a 24mp APSC sensor I don’t feel that I am compromising image quality in any way.
A good to ask is why buy a point-and-shoot camera in 2022? I plan to answer that in more detail in a future blog post. But the short answer is that I see the world differently when I have a camera. Another nice feature of the Ricoh GR iiix is that you can do close focus photography. It’s not like using the Sony 90mm F2.8 macro lens but it's pretty impressive.
So far I really like the Ricoh GR iiix. It’s much more than a street photography camera. For someone like me it can easily fit in my everyday life.
