The Ricoh GR series has become one of my favourite pocket cameras for everyday life, travel, and quiet observation. This hub collects the GR bodies I’m currently using (or have used extensively), along with key reviews, comparisons, and field notes. If you’d like to browse everything I’ve written about Ricoh in one place, you can find all Ricoh articles here: Ricoh articles .
📷 Current Ricoh GR Cameras
📷 Ricoh GR III
The GR III is my small, always-with-me camera — a pocketable 28mm that’s ideal for travel, everyday life, and quiet documentary work.
📷 Ricoh GR IV
The GR IV keeps the pocketable form factor but refines speed, responsiveness, and image quality — a natural evolution of the GR idea.
📷 Ricoh GR IIIx
The 40mm-equivalent GR IIIx shifts the GR into a more intimate, portrait-friendly field of view. I’ve shot the GR IIIx a little bit, but it’s actually the camera I bought for my eldest daughter, Sofia. If I can prize it out of her hands for long enough, I’ll add some articles here.
Why This Matters
There’s a lot of talk about the Ricoh GR line online, often framed purely around street photography. My GR coverage is grounded in long-term, everyday use — carried on real walks, family trips, and quiet solo days.
If you want to know how a GR actually feels in the hand, how it behaves in bad light, or what it’s like to live with as your main pocket camera, that’s exactly what these articles are written to show.
