Here are my feelings about the Ricoh GR3x camera after roughly four months of daily use. This camera is not for everyone. These thoughts are my opinions alone.

Wait, what?! This is your first youtube video? Man, the quality is really good, keep up the good work :) I usually never comment on a video, but now somehow I felt the urge to help you with the youtube algorithm, so here is my comment. Hope your channel takes off quickly.
Aw! So kind! Really appreciate that.
Nice passionate and philosophical reflection of its simplicity - thank you
Loved your little overlays. "Psssssh!" And "Technically"
Haha! It’s all about the little things
I bought mine primarily to take pics when I walk my dog. It allows one handed use and very small package. I love it and am blown away from its results, extremely sharp lens, great b&w profiles and nice dng files, great sensor, ibis, built in ND filter. I did buy a JJC thumb grippy and metal tube extension to allow filters and stops the dust issue, which will happen at some point. This is now one of my most favoured and used cameras👍😀
Awesome! For me, it’s all about that one handed use. I was walking around the city the other day doing just that-felt like a ninja
The information you shared was helpful to me. Nice video and thank you!
So glad it was! Really appreciate the comment
Kept it real, to the point ajd super informative - thank you
Thank you! Glad you think so :)
Your first video and you are already in my recommended section!
Amazing! Thank you for the support!
113th subscriber for your first vid, u nailed it i have the gr3x and love it!
Thank you so much! Very nice of you and I hope you enjoy my future videos :)
Nice production. Good info, good camera.
Thank you! Glad you got something out of it.
I'm getting mine next week. Can't wait to use it.
Heck yes!
I have had a 3x for 2 years. Its been sitting for a while but its so good i can't let it go. Even though i have 2 Fuji's that are my favorite.
You just know when you have a great piece of gear! I don't see myself parting ways with mine, probably ever
Love this video, bro.
Thank you!
great! very clear, organised and strict to the point!
Appreciate the feedback!
Great video. Tight and right
Very helpful. Thank
Thank you! Will make more videos about my experience with the camera this year :)
Great vid!
You have some secret sences, I have 3 old Pentax and just when I wanted a new camera I thought Pentax (Ricoh) was dead, I found this. I bought it just now. I hope I will like it. =) Great video =)
Awesome! I absolutely love mine, I hope you feel the same about yours :)
@@RYANROOTPHOTO Yep, Love it, still learning but a whole lot interesting stuff, some settings are so cool. =)
@4:20 Could you tell me how you set that up? I can´t figure it out on my GRIIIx. Awesome video, keep it up!
Check out this video which taught me this setting! This guy creates excellent videos about this camera and photography in general. I’d suggest watching the entire video, but the “2.8 Mode” is around the 3:10 mark:

My EDC is now my a6400 with the sigma 18-50 2.8. So small and light.
I absolutely love the 6000 camera line. I first owned the 6400 and I honestly regret selling it. That Sigma 18-50 is a dream.
I wonder if the Ricoh GRiiix is for me.
I just purchased one. I am struggling with setting this thing up. I do street photography and I think many GR users are in that camp. The other camp is as an EDC for those with big rigs like you.
Besides the camera fighting me as ai try to set it up, I know I will struggle with not having an EVF. I knew this going into GR world. Simply stated, I’m an EVF user for composing. I hope I can get into the one handed point and shoot mode so many GR users use.
I am digging the high contrast B&W mode. Very contrasty. Crunch those blacks. Very sharp lens. Who doesn’t love the size and low weight? Battery life? Wasabi batteries are cheap. Carrying a couple extra batteries comes with the small and lightweight body.
I bought mine from craigslist for $700. For a body and lens that is an OK price. I am hoping to love the GR. As suggested, this thing is resisting being set up for everyday use. I’m hoping to resolve this issue. There are a lot of Ricoh GR fans. They all can’t Be wrong.

Love this comment. I will say that the setting up and familiarizing aspect of this camera is a challenge, at least was for me. There is a RUclipsr named Adrien Sanguinetti who goes into detail on how he sets this up, I suggest diving into some of his Ricoh videos, I essentially use his set up method. As for the lacking EVF I totally understand your apprehension. I will say though that you DO adapt. There are a lot of "spray and pray" moments, and thats exactly where the snap auto focus comes into play. Like you, I use the high contast B&W mode as well and actually use this camera as my daily black and white documentation/capture. I am going to make a video on here why I use it this way. I hope you get to enjoy this camera :)
"True!" Thank you.
Thank YOU
i am waiting for a true hybrid of the same size and weight of the ricoh griii
You mean with actual acceptable video capabilities? 🤣
I’ve been wanting to get something like this.
Review your "man purse". I've been looking for one. Thanks (subscriber 125)
I will! Thank you for your support :)
This is my Contax T3 replacement
It’s a great little tool!
This thing looks pretty sweet
And it is!
I like your video. Legit.
Subscribing.
Thank you so much! New here but aiming for quality.
Tight!!
This is great
Thank you :)
I just HATE that they’re milking the 3. I’ve been waiting to get one for a year and I know the 4 will come out eventually. It’s a 1500$ CAD camera, I’d be furious to buy a 3, and a handful of months later, the 4 comes out……
The 3 is already pretty sweet. Just think about all the pictures you missed because you were waiting for the 4. The 3 will still perform good and wont be obselete.
DUDE. Couldn't agree more with your feelings about the milked up version of the three...
I also coudn't agree more with this suggestion! I have really tried to stop waiting to either afford gear or for new gear to arrive. The GR3X is a truly capable system for years to come despite its few quality of life features it may lack. I released a video a few weeks back titled "Stop Waiting" about this very thing! Thanks for watching.
Why is this better than a modern iPhone?
Probably a sharper lens and better dynamic range. But as he said it mostly depends on the kind of experience you're after. I have a Pixel phone which takes nice pictures but I only use it for casual photography.
Not making the case that it is! Modern cell phones are great tools, but as I mentioned in the video I just prefer a dedicated camera for my photography as it makes it feel like more of a priority to me and not so much of an afterthought. Whatever works for the shooter!
