BTW after one day with the GR3, I think 2 batteries might not be enough if traveling and taking a lot of photos. So I decide to buy extra battery and external charger from taobao which able to charge 2 batteries at the same time.

QUOTE(keyser soze @ Apr 2 2019, 06:03 PM) I far as I know, the manual focus is adjusted with the control dial which is a rather slow. I don't think manual focus is the strong point of this camera. RX100 is already a very good camera, I believe you will appreciate more on night shoot if switch to GR III. Well its nice to have manual focus for those shots where you wanna take ur time to do it so thats great. I'm trying to see more sample images (OOC). If i get it'll be my travel cam.QUOTE(kangkayu @ Apr 2 2019, 06:23 PM) The stabilisation should help rite? I waiting for more review to hear about its stabilisation performance (since gr ii dont have it) |

I think GR3 low light auto focus is rather slow like most pentax and ricoh camera, but the low light photo quality is on par or with most DSLR due to the shake reduction, big sensor and better performance at high iso.The stabilisation should help rite?

Two batteries not enough.Anyone heard anything on the availability of the GW-4 wide angle lens yet? ![]() Didn't see those Larry batteries earlier. Ordered Wasabi Li-908 (apparently similar to DB110) from Cameralah. Yet to arrive. Larry is DB110 which shd be the exact, and better copy. |

Now I only realized that Olympus battery can use with GR3.
Li-90B or the Larry battery is 1270 mAh which is 5% less in capacity than the Ricoh DB-110 which is 1350 mAh. But Olympus Li-92B is same as DB-110. Not sure if I should get the Olympus for Larry which the price is double. BTW I just check my serial number, unfortunately it is one of the wobbly control dial camera. http://thenewcamera.com/ricoh-calling-back...HXgLuLUJkiTWypM QUOTE Notice to Customers of Compact Digital Camera “RICOH GR III” Thank you for always using our products.
