Thanks to my friend Anthony for letting me play with his new RICOH GR III\u00e2\u20ac\u201d with the ERIC KIM WRIST STRAP<\/a> and ERIC KIM CASE<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The new menu system on the GR 3 is very good. More streamlined, better resolution in the LCD screen, and the menu system is super fluid. I want to play more with the menus of the GR3\u00e2\u20ac\u201c seems like a ton of intelligent and creative thinking went into the menu UI-UX (I think more camera companies should copy Ricoh-Pentax menu design)<\/li>
  2. Image quality of new GR3 looks superb. The high ISO of GR3 seems to be at least 3x better in low light. <\/li>
  3. New positive film preset in GR3 looks really beautiful aesthetically. <\/li>
  4. The smaller size of the GR3 gives me slight hand cramps, and I imagine shooting with it all day won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be as comfortable as the GR2. However, the benefit of a smaller camera size is it is more pocketable and easier to carry everywhere. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Further testing to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
