I love my Ricoh GR and bought it nearly 6 years ago. The camera is an amazing combination of an APS-C sized sensor in a pocketable form factor combined with a fixed focal length lens (which is superb) that is perfect for an everyday carry.

They only just came out with the GR III (the II was almost no change and didn't do well).

Their design choices are baffling. You could set up the GR to have tactile physical controls for all the things you may want to change on the fly, but the GR III has a touchscreen instead. It also has a 30% lower battery life (which wasn't exceptional to begin with).

Though I suppose the USB-C port is an improvement.
