I work in the city, and it is hard to carry around my Canon R on the off-chance that I may get a few minutes to go for a walk and casually do some street photography. It takes up enough space to be inconvenient, the additional weight can be uncomfortable, and it is too obvious that I am taking pictures, and people may not like that.
After much searching, I think I have found the perfect alternative to actually do some street photography while being discrete and blending into the world. The Ricoh GR IIIx is such a great camera, it can literally fit into your pocket, and I cannot believe the quality of images the APS-C sensor can achieve. I was thinking of the GR III, but the 40mm lens on the IIIx is definitely a better option. Mainly because it is close to what your eye can see, it removes the need to reframe your shot if you have the wider III lens. Less thinking, more shooting.
I’ve had the camera for a few months, here are some of the shots I managed to get around the city.
