I had the same dilemma last month. I've decided to go with Ricoh GR IIIX. If you like candid, this is great for stealth shot. Very small and powerful.

Edt- Ohh lens. Sigma 18-55 2.8 for sure.

I'm used to 50mm. But surprisingly 40mm is better for framing. It has crop mode 50mm and 71mm. I have never wanted to use crop mode. But it helps. And I can't tell the difference of photo quality on social media.

The Ricoh GR iii is such a wonderful camera. Mine is the non-X version (28mm equivalent). As long as you understand the aperture/distance scale, the snap focus feature is unbeatable.

Sometimes I just walk around and shoot blindly, no composing with lcd, no stopping. Just tikam shoot with movement and blur or whatever. 99% or shots are trashed, but the remaining 1% are usually awesome.

I hope Ricoh continues making these cameras, even in a smartphone world. Their only downside is lack of weather sealing and lousy battery life. Other than that, best camera I’ve used, and I’ve owned much higher spec cameras in the past.

I know what you mean! Snap focus is godsend especially to capture candid. AEL button shows distance measurement of subject, set the snap distance, full press snapshot. Only 5/300 pictures out of focus. Superb! Time saver. No need to take multiple shots of the same thing.
