Ricoh GR3X

I owned and used the Ricoh GR3x for over a year. I sort of have a love-hate relationship with this camera. I love the color and sharpness of the images it produces. It is also the smallest APSC sensor camera in the world. The compact size makes it an everyday carried for me for a long time.

Until it breaks… Yes. That’s why I love it but also hate it. The first issue I got was the dust on the senor, which should be coming in from the lense which is the loose part on this camera. Then later, the stabilization module in the lense broke, making it shake when I tilted the camera to shoot vertically. I had to spend thousands of RMB to get it fixed. The overall built quality is just not ideal.

Anyway, the image quality is why I still keep it. Hope Ricoh can improve the built quality in its GR4.
