I don't even know where to begin
What I state in my dislikes has to do with the fact that the Ricoh GR III is targeted to such a niche audience. In our original meeting with Ricoh
They showed us how working photographers are using it for more. With that
A lot of money
No tiltable screen or eyelevel viewfinder
No built-in flash
Expensive
Fixed focal length
No viewfinder
No 4K video
Autofocus can be frustrating
No EVF
Strong vignetting if left uncorrected (absent with incamera correction)
