With digital that just doesn't seem to be the case - if it's a compact camera it must use a smaller sensor and have worse quality. I'm not sure why that's the case to be honest.]]>Aug 21st 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Aug 21st 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Aug 21st 2009 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Aug 21st 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Aug 21st 2009 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/
The black body is full meta btw. You call it cheap looking, I call it under-state and low profile design - which btw hasn't change for 3 generations. Just look up GRD I II, and III. They all look identical which I think is brilliant.

Yes I am a GRD fan. :) ]]>Aug 21st 2009 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/
What's the perfect walk-around street camera? The one you have with you, which for me the Motorola Q. God help me. Maybe I can start my own Motorola Q cult. Did you know it can shoot movies?]]>Aug 21st 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/
...oh, and having a fixed focal length...


And for the record, "sole" is used in place of "single." You can't have more than one sole blemish.]]>Aug 21st 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Aug 21st 2009 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Aug 21st 2009 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Aug 21st 2009 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Aug 21st 2009 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/
The LX3 has better high ISO performance, a wider lens, a bit of an optical zoom, actually has exposure bracketing (although still a bit crap). The f/2.0 lens is not vastly different from the f/1.9 of the Ricoh. The LCD is not as high res and it doesn't quite have the Ricoh's 180 second long exposure mode but it's a much nicer looking camera that costs a bit over half the price of the Ricoh. For me the Ricoh fails in too many areas to justify that massive price, if I can find one, my next purchase will be the LX3.]]>Aug 22nd 2009 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/
The GR series is not without its flaws, and a very specific sweet spot - but if you think it looks cheap (read: should be shiny, and have stickers on it) and wish it had a zoom lens, there are certainly cameras out there that will suit your needs better. This camera is for photographers, not gadget hounds.]]>Aug 31st 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/Sep 12th 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/ricoh-gr-digital-iii-hits-the-review-bench-collects-plaudits/These features seem interesting, unfortunatly, Ricoh is a very bad company if you have any problem during the warranty period; they refused to cover the fixing of the zoom that didn't work. Not only it ruined my vacations because I could'nt take pictures, but Ricoh asked me 50% of the price of the new cam! So I advise to buy other brands such as Panasonic or Canon, where you should not face this kind of issue.]]>Sep 12th 2009 10:16AM
