The Ricoh GR IIIx is a truly attractive device. It fits easily in a pocket and offers very good image quality thanks to its large APS-C sensor and very good quality 40 mm optics. The simplified ergonomics is well suited to this type of device and we could almost forgive the absence of a viewfinder. However, Ricoh has a lot of work to do in terms of autofocus tracking and above all video capture to make it a truly expert and essential compact.
An alternative
The Sony ZV-1 II is a good expert compact and an interesting evolution of the first ZV-1 of the name. We appreciate the arrival of USB-C and the wider 18mm wide-angle, more relevant for vlogging, especially with digital stabilization. We are more circumspect in the face of the absence of framerate greater than 30 fps in 4K, but also in front of the 1-inch sensor blocked at 20 Mpx. The ZV-1 Mark II is nevertheless an excellent compact for vlogging, equipped with a formidable autofocus and many very useful options for video. Creators will know how to make the most of it.
