Ricoh GR II Review – Best Compact Travel Camera?

My thoughts on the GR II and how it compares to the GR III. It is a great feeling to have a super slim, lightweight, large sensor (APS-C) camera in your jeans pocket – and this is probably the best value for money you can find right now in this segment.

Thanks in part to this video, I bought one of these GRii's off of Craigslist yesterday and took it on an outing today. *Outstanding*! Thank You, Micael for your wonderful videos & for sharing pictures of your darling family. Keep up the great work.

Be Well

Just got my GR II a month ago. I LOVE shooting with this little guy. By far my favorite camera I've owned. I even love the challenge of shooting with something I know I can't just change it's lens. I have to use what I have and get creative. Limitations are really an interesting thing for an artist.

I bought this wonder 1 month ago. It made me see photography like no other camera did before. I love it!

Love the review. I'm now convinced I made the right choice as I just purchased a GR II after much pondering but decided to get one for my upcoming trip. Unit is due today and have been watching a few videos on the camera. Thanks to you with the most current review on the Ricoh GR II camera I'm even more excited now for it to arrive.

My GRii is always sitting in my belt. When I go out in the street casually, I carry my GRii and a Leica C-lux. Love my GRii! Thank you for your video! And yes, , I love the the EVF in the Leica. BUT, I appreciate my GRii anyway. I have used the in-camera flash and it is excellent. Thank you for your video! And, get an extra battery!

The GRii is excellent and the GRiii is just a bit more extra excellent but at a cost. If you can afford a GRiii then go for it but honestly the GRii is just as good 90% of the time. :-)

Clear, calm, informative review. Thank you.

Because of this video, I just bought the Ricoh GR II today, and very happy with it. Thanks!

I enjoyed the video. Great review & I’m loving my Ricoh GR II as well! 👍

You must have read my mind. I’ve been looking for a high quality compact to take out running and have been considering the GR II. The GR II is too expensive to risk out on a run but the GR II would be ok.
Thanks for the video, really helpful

Great review! I was wondering if you can change the crop factor or lens mm type?

[edwiser]

I have a GR III now I started with a GR D love each one.

Excellent practical video! Thanks for sharing.

does anyone know how to get the liveview to show you the actual picture based on your manual settings?

For sure it is a great camera but don't you think that having a fixed screen and a retractable lens that can easily collect dust are real drawbacks? What about the Fujifilm X70 that is almost identical but with a tilting screen and a lens design which is less likely to collect dust? I haven't tried either but I'm just wondering

You got the gm1! That camera is really small.😍 Grii is half the weight of xe2? Thats amazing. I was thinking of getting the xe3 with 27mm or xf10 or grii. Already got the older xm1 and that camera is already heavy for me. Might get the grii...

[migo-migo]

Great review! I have a Fuji x70 right now and I'm thinking about ditching it for a Ricoh great 2. The size of the x70 and the shooting user experience feels lacking to me. After 3 years of use I'm finding some quirks I dislike. Hopefully I'll like the GR 2 better.

Where in the world did you find a GRii for 350 usd... I cant seem to find one even near that price here in Denmark or in Europe at all.. :-(

Hey could you make a sound test with this camera in a very loud environment? Like a night club kind of loud environment? I am considering an upgrade to my Rx100 version 1 and one of my main problems is just that it has really bad noise in the recording when it is really loud
