The editors didn't like

New high ISO sensitivities are pointless - far too much image noise
No great shakes in the design department
Fixed lens limits flexibility.
Fixed lens limits flexibility prompting a more considered approach to image taking
Terrible battery life
Autofocus could be better
Vignetting even at smaller apertures
LCD screen doesn't tilt
Relatively poor video recording
High price
Fixed-focal-length lens
Adjustment lever can be fiddly
Large screen hampered in brighter conditions - viewing becomes difficult
No built-in optical viewfinder
Pop-up flash position means errant fingers can inadvertently hinder it
Small size, Zone focusing (snap focus) is good, Nice optics, Great colors,
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

Very portable design, Quality images, Built-in image stabilization, Intuitive controls
Expensive, Fixed focal length, No viewfinder, No 4K video
The market for high-end compact cameras is a narrow one. It's aimed at those who want better-than-smartphone-quality photos in a pocketable device and are willing to spend smartphone money for it. In my few weeks of shooting with the GR III, I came to app...
24 MP APSC sensor meets expectations, Inbody image stabilization and dust removal, Excellent fast aperture, wide lens, Superb build quality in a tiny format, Effective and highquality touchscreen, Excellent center sharpness at all apertures, closely follo
Strong vignetting if left uncorrected (absent with incamera correction), No weather resistance, Movie mode no more than adequate, Battery life underwhelming, Donut effect in out of focus areas
The GR III's launch price made quite a few users cringe. While not a surprise, being close to the launch price of its predecessor, the price still can be hard to stomach for some.When taking the time to understand the camera, what it offers, and what it s...

APS-C sensor in a tiny form-factor, OIS is excellent, Image quality handily bests smartphone cameras
Expensive, Autofocus can be frustrating, No EVF
I find I'm almost bemused by my feelings about the GR III. The reality is that my phone's camera can handle 80-percent of the photography I want or need to do. The rest – which is generally for work purposes – I have a Micro Four Thirds camera which gives...
Small size with big sensor, Great for one-handed shooting,
A lot of money, No tiltable screen or eyelevel viewfinder, No built-in flash,
GR fans, or GRists as Ricoh call them, will love this update of an iconic camera. But in the world of multi-lens camera phones the wider appeal of this fixed lens compact will probably be limited. This is a beautiful-sized APS-C compact, ideal for carryin...
Abstract: The lens sits in front of a brand-new APS-C sized image sensor which provides a significant step upwards in resolution, and its output is fed to a new-generation GR Engine 6 image processor. The new sensor has an effective pixel count of 24.24 megapixels...
Ricoh has made some strange choices with its digital cameras in the past but the GR III looks like a good solid proposition for enthusiast photographers who want a camera for everyday shooting.Shooting with the camera for a few hours has left me with a go...
Abstract: The Ricoh GR III is a camera that street photographers have been waiting for for a really long time; but depending on who you are you perhaps wanted different things. Its predecessor, the Ricoh GR II, still proves to be popular amongst the street photogra...
