The Ricoh GR III (3) - 6 Months Later - How has it held up and my settings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- Its been over 6 months since I first started shooting with the Ricoh GR3 so I thought it was time for an update. The short story is that it has worked like advertised. In other words, lived up to its title, The Street King.

This is a re-upload after discovering an error thanks to a commenter. I had the settings all mixed up in my head and said ”snap focus” when I meant ”manual focus”.
Might not seem like a big deal and normally I might settle on adding a text or a comment but sometimes I just know it would annoy me so much that its worth losing the first couple of thousand views.
Sorry about you guys losing the comments you already had made, not to mention the congratulations I received. I was very grateful for those.

I love your videos. All the older crazy reviews like sigma dp1. Or Epson ? Its great that u make people aware of these unique cameras Thank You
@@frankartale1026 Glad you like them!
Damn Mattias is a married man these days congrats!!!
BILL GUNDY Thanks!
"I shot my own wedding"
Well, if you want something done right... ;)
Congrats Mattias!
I hope you did not shoot the deputy?
You seem to focus first on all the things that are right about a camera or piece of kit, where others are quick to point out only the negatives. Sometime it takes a little work to be happy, but in the long term it’s easier on you and everyone else. Thanks for your positive energy and optimism 🙏
I always figure the people that made the camera probably had an idea when building it :)
So happy you popped backed in my recommendations.
I’ve been searching for straight to the point settings with no b.s. I remember in the past always watching your videos but never saved them in a playlist. But thank goodness for sub and algo when you really need it lol
I'm gonna say it again... I love how the screw decided to come back!!! 😉
my gr2 is my daily walk about camera. i look forward to a gr3 in my future. as for futures, nothing but good health and joyous moments for your and your lovely bride. (i hope gunpowder is not the jealous type!) i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Thank you!
They have known each other for 6 years so it should be fine :)
Always a joy to watch your videos. Finally took the plunge and ordered one second hand. Will be my first GR, Can't wait to shoot with this.
congrats on your wedding man
Aldrin Detablan Thanks!
It is like having a mini Pentax K3 always attached and armed and ready.
All the best,
Robin
Robin Strower Agreed.
Watching your videos is a comforting experience.
Congratulations Mattias !!!
Wish you all the best !!!
Such a great person and fabulous human being as you MUST be among the happiest people in the world :)
I'll say it again then. Haha. Absolutely stunning photos, Mattias! I loved the landscape shots, as well as the ones at 1:09, 2:43 and 4:01. Great stuff!
KentuckyMan30 Thanks again my friend :)
Oh, now I couldn't resist anymore. A new GR III has arrived and will replace my trusty beloved old GR... Hope the love affair will be just as good and long as the 5 years I have had the GR.. You really sell this camera well Mattias. Take care in these hard times!
You make my favorite photography related videos on UA-cam hands down, really great content mate
Congrats and a happy marriage! Great video as always though 😀. Looking forward to every new one. And i´m really tempted with the GRIII thanks to you.
Thank you! :)
Thanks a lot for your experience! Will re-think my settings now
The thing I love most about your videos is your voice and accent.
That's why we often had to wait for your next video; congrats to you Mattias and your bride/wife.
3:53 you think I didnt catch that ;)
I like your video, Mattias. You convinced me to buy Pentax KP and Ricoh GR III. I am very grateful for that. Thank you.
Glad to hear that you weren't disappointed with the stuff :)
So helpful to see your settings. Thank you!
Short and sweet! Another great and very useful vlog about one of our favorite cameras! (Yes, I’m also a FujiFilm user, but the GR goes everywhere all of the time.)
I still use my GR2. Such a great little camera that I got thanks to your review.
Beyond everything else CONGRATULATIONS! I wish you a happy marriage. I suspect soon a new category of photos would begin 😉
Thanks to your review I upgraded my grii to griii. Really thankful for your real world reviews. You are showing the end results, with great photos. I bought a thumb rest from Jjc, that’s a great little ting for an extra grip.
Bernd Twiest I’m glad you like them :)
Lekker bezig Bernd! 😎
Congratulations on your wedding, Mattias. I got a Nokia 9 based on your camera review and it takes beautiful photos. Tthe Ricoh GR3 seems to be the next target of mine.
Your videos are always the best, relaxing, and informative to watch. Thank you.
Congratulations on getting married, Mattias! I'd love to see a video about how you shot your own wedding!
I always enjoy your reviews Mattias. Thanks for sharing.
I audibly gasped at some of these photos! Great to hear about this camera after 6 months!
Finally, a chance to like a video twice!!
Thanks Matthias, and congratulations!
Thanks!
Amazing review, I got the GRii after your video and some other photographers reviews... it's exactly what I wanted to have all the time with me.
I've been thinking of getting the GRiii just because the IBIS (I also I'm an olympus user so IBIS is a must!!)
Congrats on your wedding!!!
Francisco Galdeano Thanks!
Nice video once again Mattias! The GRIII is the star of my UA-cam channel 🤙🏻📷
Nice channel, I will sub.
Second shot in the start is absolutely stunning 😍 🙌🏽 🔥
Jeepers, I didn’t realized you had gotten married! Congratulations! But also curses for giving me GAS flare-ups.
Seriously, though, best wishes from the US!
I also use it every day since I got it in March. I really love it! The firmware updates also made a difference. But I actually had overheating issues in summer. In longer shoots, it shut down regularly after about 30 minutes (heavy shooting or direct sunlight) with a cooldown period. But other than that, it has been a breeze, and as you said, the WiFi-interface is the best I have ever seen. Cheers (and Congrats)!
Congrats on the wedding! Wish you all the best!
Btw that ricoh looks super sweet
Looking forward to your Ricoh GR IIIx video!
My experience as well; I've not changed hardly a thing on mine either. A wonderful little shooter.
Also, congratulations! (I am soon to follow) :)
My GR 2 comes everywhere with my Leica and me. Love it, soon as it dies from over use the GR3 is coming home with me.
I really enjoy watching you videos on the Ricoh GR III. I would love to see more if possible. Thank you.
Great review. Completely agree with your assessment. This is the camera I take with me when I don't want to take a camera with me(!) and I also slip it into my pocket to use when I am working (which is increasingly with a Fuji GFX50R, so it really is a testament to how useful this camera is). Like you I find the new buttons and features mean I have not really changed the default settings. Because Tav on the mode dial is missing compared to the previous GR I have U1 set up for 1/160 and f5.6 and auto-iso which was my Tav settings before. This is a camera which just works and works so damn well that at times I am left questioning why I have spent so much money on other cameras systems! The only thing I now want to add is the WA adaptor which I could not keep from the previous system. Thank you Ricoh/Pentax for the one camera they will have to prise from my cold dead hands!
Wow! Great review! Thank you for the inspiring information! Look forward for more reviews.
Hi Mattias!
Quick question, I'm dying to buy a Ricoh but trying to figure out between the GR 2 or 3
I guess sharp photos for quick street photography is my biggest priority
Is the GR 3 that much of an upgrade with Autofocus over the GR2? Or with Snapfocus it doesn't matter and just go with the Gr2?
Thank you so much man! Lobe the videos, so calming and Informative
Solid content. Very useful. Excellent imagery; as always....I just might look at one of these...
Jag älskar dina UA-camfilmer och känslan de förmedlar!
Jonny Smeds Kyle att höra.
Congrats on the wedding Mattias! And to continue on my lost comment, is the xf10 going to get a review soon? Would love to see your thoughts.
It will, not sure exactly when.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter well i will give a heads up on the xf10. It is very quirky. It chooses very slow shutter speeds indoors. Even with auto iso set at 3200
Always 1/15 to 1/28. It is capable of great results in manual or shutter priority to keep shutter at 1/50
@@gearreallydoesntmatter well I will continue to enjoy your Insta pictures from it in the mean time.
@@frankartale1026 thanks for the info. Can't believe it isn't more widely reviewed with how affordable it is. Those quirks seem to be manageable in manual mode so I think as long as I stick to that I can overcome some of its flaws like the AF.
@@puthenveetilnoel I agree. This should be a reviewed against the ricoh gr3 ALL DAY long . Both have pros / cons. Again it is capable of amazing results. Its less than half the price. Samuel Lintaro are you listening ?
Nice video. I always enjoy your content. I also find myself using my GRIII as my wide angle so I can keep a telephoto or zoom on my main mirrorless. In fact I used it that way yesterday on a hike. Much quicker and better than switching lenses. The only thing I miss when using the GRIII instead of my Sony is the AF and eye AF. But for landscapes and street the GR produces beautiful shots straight out of camera.
Super helpful as always! Thank you.
Hej! Vad tycker du, är det fortfarande värt att köpa en GR II ny för runt 4000kr? GR III känns lite över min budget just nu. Jag har tidigare haft en GR som jag älskade att använda men den dog efter några månader eftersom att jag köpte den lite överbegagnad.
Ja den är fortfarande en bra kamera. GRiii är i mitt tycke bättre men jag hade varit glad med endast GRii.
No sensor dust problems Mattias? Love your sense of using the light btw! :)
Jan J no such issues to report.
Great video! Yours are always the best camera reviews! Have you got a chance to review GR III X?
ua-cam.com/video/Eargz190Z84/v-deo.html
Always love your smooth review, Mattias.
How GRiii compares to Fuji X-E3, especially on the GRiii cons u mention here?
GRiii more simplified, Fuji much more complicated rangefinder, but also got good Auto Mode & greater AF i think. Been scratching my head on which one to get.
I think out of every single camera reviewer on the interweb, yours is the opinion I would value most when it comes to camera choices.
Keep up the great work.
Andrew
great 6 month review I've found the same with all the so-called negatives not being negatives at all, by the way was that a fuji XT3 I spied in the vid?
shaun raymond No it was the X-T1.
A long and happy marriage! And in a while, I expect some tips on filming/photographing kids... Then will see how skilled you are, because Gunpowder seems such a professional model...
On your way to 100K... just helped you with my sub. Great video 👌
Thank you for that :)
Normally I don't focus so much on the number of subs but I must admit that the big 100K has become a bit of a mile stone.
You’re Welcome! Indeed the number shouldn’t be the goal, but I can imagine what it does when you get there
Your videos are awesome. So awesome that I bought a Ricoh GR3 and i love it.
Wow, nice re-cap. Great video thank you.
Congrats on your wedding! I’ve been following you for awhile and have been playing with the Ricoh too. Would you mind explaining “trendy protect the highlights look” and how to use the Ricoh as a light meter in another video?
Nice video - I've been using my phone recently for walkabout shots but just need bigger images. I've found my Fuji XT-20 just slightly too big for pocketing, so the GR III might be the best option (and I like the wider angle).
I wasn't gonna buy anything for a few years, and just get up to speed on my Pentax Q system cameras. But the pocketability, wide angle, macro ability and price (100 bucks on Amazon Japan) have changed my mind. I was thinking about the Pentax MX-1 but this is better for me I think. Cheers, and congrats again on your wedding. May your marriage be a long and happy one.
You mean that you bought a GRD3?
Screw coming "Home" where it belongs, very much like the Camera it seems 👍👾
S Baines I was surprised to say the least. It was magnetically stuck underneath my Fuji XF-10. Kinda ironic.
Great stuff as always! Congrats!
Stunning images and content. Your photography is amazing. I am debating whether or not to replace my GRII with this. Are there times you prefer to use the GRII over this and if so, for what shooting situations?
No I prefer the GRiii for pretty much everything. But if the budget was tight I would be happy with the GRii.
Hello. great video as always. What is your editing tool? Capture One does not support GR3 yet ...
Great video and congrats for the wedding 👌🏻
Congrats on marriage to both of you :) I hope gunpowder approves !
0:52 how did you get all my cameras into your video? Anyway, the GRIII has proved itself worthy, I am very happy with it, and it can be always with me. Ricoh keeps us users really satisfied.
Congratulation for your wedding! Wishing you happily ever after!
I think it's the first time I've seen what Mattias looks like. Wasn't what I was imagining. :)
Hi Mattias, great review as usual. Would you share more your experiences between the GR iii and the X100V you recently reviewed? How would you choose between the two? Many thanks.
I have not even seen a x100v so I can't compare.
Thx Mattias ! You have mentioned SX70 conversion ? Looks so promising... I would really like to see a review of the "new" SX70
I plan to review both my standard SX70 and this one in the same video.
Great video once again! What is your take on back button focusing with the GRiii?
ogepoge I don’t really use it on the griii, it’s imo never really needed. It’s kinda been replaced by other features.
I 've been thinking of upgrading from my GR1v. But I still can't let go of it: so much simpler and so much more fun with film;). At least for me..
Only three sample images into the video and I said, "Holy shit."
Congratulations on your wedding!
Congratulation for your wedding
congratulations on your wedding.
Sorry to be irrelevant, but I love your redwood table ;) And also would you recommend a mk2 just as much as mk3? :)
ACHiE PoP checkout my reviews of the GRii, it’s still as good as it was then :)
Hey Mattias, you mention you can shoot on A with just auto ISO, or on A with auto ISO working together with the shutter speed (which I understand it’s the camera deciding the best shutter speed to get the right exposure). My question is what’s the difference among both modes both in settings and result?
congrats on getting married to you and the missus. I for one, am impressed with you shooting your own wedding. would be interested in hearing or seeing a segment how you managed to do that ?
Excellent video.
congrats on the wedding bro. have you seen the new sigma cine cam?
Thanks, I haven't seen it in real life. Seems like a fun camera.
I got the leica m8 coz of you ! and now I have gr III XD I love your channel!
Mattias can you please tell how you set up your “polaroid profile”? It is very nice! Would be also very useful a video on how to use and set user mode (U1, U2, U3...). Thanks, your pictures and your videos are always well done and a pleasure to watch
You just set the camera in any mode and then save it to U1, U2, or U3 in the menu.
Mattias Burling thanks! And what about your Polaroid settings? Which did you use?
I think I said it in the video, no?
Mattias Burling well, for a first time Ricoh user it’s not so obvious; anyway apart from the shooting settings (aperture, ISO mode, AF mode, etc.) I was referring to the fine settings of the colours and saturation of the shooting mode you call Polaroid. I am curious about the fine tuning you set to achieve such a perfect Polaroid film simulation. Thanks
Ok I misunderstood. It isn't a simulation, I'm shooting actual Polaroid film and use the Ricoh as a light meter.
forgive me if this has been asked (or aswered) already. I'm interested in trying your U1 and U2 settings. Whe you say "Auto ISO", do you 'cap the Iso ' or just let the GR 'run with it'?
thanks
For my setting at U1 I have it at 6400 I think. But when using highlight weighted metering I let it roam freely.
Mazel Tov Mattias!!!!
Hi Mattias! I'm considering buying a good quality Point and Shoot camera for everyday usage. I like the form factor of the point and shoots and wanted to get your opinion. I've been looking at the Sony DSC-RX100 mark VII. At roughly €1250, do you think it's the best buy or are there any better alternatives? The price is not that big of an issue here, but considering I'm ogin to spend €1250 on a point and shoot, I would like to get the best quality and longevity. Tnx!
I've never used it so I don't know. I've had the rx100iv which was nice but buggy.
Hi Mattias, one last question ... I promise! Any tips to preserve battery life please ... starting to enjoy using this little beast, but the battery life is very poor and I don’t take hundreds of images. Tnx
Congratulations! *** RE the GR III: Any overheating issues? I've held back on the III--I own the II--because of overheating concerns.
Ron Scibilia Nope. Never happened to mine.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter That's good to hear, thanks.
Anyone else had slight anxiety when he revealed that lost screw? And also heaved a breath when he screwed it back in?
Asa always great content but one thing what about dust removal system as you know how gr ii suffered from it ! Is it working ?
I never had any dust issue with it so it might. But then again, I never had any issues with the GRii either.
Superb photos! I owned my Ricoh GR I for 2 years and used only in good conditions (no rain, snow, dust storms )))) , etc.) but finally got the couple of dust particles inside the lens. Do you know, is it fixed in GR III?
Александр Савека I never had any issues with dust. But the griii has a dust off function.
@@gearreallydoesntmatter Thx! )
Are the features of the GRIII a game changer compared with the GRII considering that battery life is significantly worst on the GRIII?
I'm looking to dive into the Ricoh cameras world and I need to known which one should I get.
This video was inspiring btw. Thanks Matt!
I recommend watching my other two videos on the GRiii, I talk plenty about it compared to the GRii. The battery isn't that bad imo.
Always love your review, wanna reapply the same setting
This is just a chance to congratulate you on your marriage again!
This is one of the few cameras that I actually want, right now... Ugh... Maybe some day
