Great comparison! I have the Ricoh GR III and take it with me everywhere in my pocket. The x100v is clearly a more capable camera, but when you think that you have to bring a bag for it or carry it in your hands or around your neck, it has to compete with every other camera that doesn't fit in your pocket. In a way the best comparison for the GR III is a smartphone because both fit in your pocket and you can literally have them with you wherever you go. Smartphones do a lot more, but the GR III image quality and ease of use make it my favourite piece of tech. Thanks again for the comparison!

Thanks for great comparison. I have two questions. Its been a year now so is there other camera to compare to these two? And I also have to record video. Which one does better video? Can you change depth during recording?

I have both the X100V and a GRII, and while they fall into the same category of compact fixed lens cameras the actual feeling of using them is vastly different. The Ricoh is so tiny and light I could slip it into my pocket if I wanted to, but I don't because the Fuji is so incredibly fun to use. I could point either camera at something and get a photo I like, but the Fuji's dedicated dials and retro feel makes me fall in love with the actual act of taking a photo. The best camera is the one you want to take with you.

Very helpful and excellent review. Thank you for sharing

Great review, well done!

Really well made video, you should make more!

I researched both these cameras and ended up picking up the x100V at launch. And I gotta say. I love it! The body style is a big draw. The image quality is awesome. I own a sony a7iii (which is an amazing FF camera!) and always shoot raw with it. However, I find myself shooting in Jpeg with the fuji and light editing on my phone or iPad and couldn’t be happier. I wanted a smaller setup to “take anywhere” for daily photography. I would have preferred a pocketable size but, as with every camera, there are pros and cons. But this fuji has very few cons! It’s great. Thanks for the vid!

I've owned both the Fuji x100 and the Ricoh GR. Both of them were the earlier models and not the current models. I loved both? Of them but ended up Selling the Fuji. I feel the Fuji is form over function and the Ricoh is function over form. In the end function won over form. The Ricoh's one handed usage gives the winning edge, particularly when I use it with an off camera light held in my left hand. Also it slips easily into my pants pocket so it's easier to bring it along when I'm not working. I had to mentally decide if it's worth it to bring my Fuji along each time because I hate to have to use camera straps when I'm not working, and I seldom wear a jacket that I can slip it it nto. In the end i found it faster to capture a candid photo with my phone but I found it faster to capture a moment with my Ricoh than with my phone or with my Fuji. The Ricoh wins when the priority is capturing candid moments. I still miss my Fuji for the shear joy of looking at it and playing with it and for it's ability to strike up a conversation with random people. The Fuji is like a Roles whereas the Ricoh is like a good Casio. I don't care about the Fuji's video capability because my phone already does videos just fine.

Thanks a lot for the very nice video. I am the lucky owner of both cameras, and I could not chose between the two (I own Ricohs since the film GR1S, always as sharp and small). The Fuji is a fantastic, nice to play with, photographic tool. I love its flash, does great job for fill-ins (I regret that Ricoh removed the flash when moving from GRII to GRIII). I am not that fan of the JPGs on the Fuji side, a little two soft for my taste. On the GR side, I love the pocketable size, the sharpness of the lens, the quality of the jpgs and the simplicity to use. I love the pre-set filters : this camera produces fantastic B&Ws with almost no need for post-processing. I intend to keep both cameras, cannot decide between the 35mm and the 28mm. Will probably use both, Fuji on my neck set for color, and Ricoh in my pocket, ready to shoot in B&W... I fully agree with you that everyone will enjoy both cameras.

Love the GR3, was lucky to get it for $500 US used, the more I use it the more I appreciate it. But I do use the Xpro2 Xt3, x100s.

In the low light shot, the Fuji was using a slower shutter speed (letting in about 2/3 more light). This happens because iso isn't really standardised on digital cameras. If the aperture and shutter speed were matched, the result would be a lot closer.

The main omissions from the otherwise honest and very thorough review, is the fact that viewing is a huge category, no optical viewer on the GR3 and only a fixed screen on the back, is a gulf to be overcome. X100v has optical finder, an EV, and screen that tilts for waist level work. The GR is a Rolls Royce off point and shoot, the X100v facilitates composition, which is fundamental to creative work !

'curiosly, in practical use i mostly see sony's better IQ in low light, in day time it's very often on par (looking at results on 27 4k screen) with my smaller (and muuuch cheaper) system, gx80+leica 15mm 1.7 (i have a bunch of other camers, dslrs, x70, rx100 m5, i know how to compare...) sony's is great, xtra clean at iso 50 though. oh, and 35mm is quite often not wide enough for street. i've got my rx1r mk2 for 1000 euros 2nd hand in good state, i would never pay more for it today, i'd rather get gr3 in fact, rx1r is too big and clunky for street action (vs gr3 or x70 for instance)

ISO in digital cameras is NOT a standard and has nothing do do with Exposure. You compared the Fuji at f2.8 1/500 to the Ricoh at f2.8 1/800. So you gave the Ricoh far less light. No wonder the noise is worse.

@Josh-ow4gc

It has to do with Fujifilm using a different ISO standard. This is why Fuji cameras always look good vs full frame cameras in ISO for ISO tests. But in real world use, assuming the same aperture and shutter speed, Fujifilm cameras always require about one stop higher ISO vs other cameras to get the same exposure. In this case, it would have been best to compare ISO 12800 on the Ricoh to ISO 25600 on the Fuji, if available.

But I am not really a street photographer. To make the choice even harder there is now a Ricoh GRIIIx with a 40 mm lens. I like the flippy screen, the buttons and handling of the X100V, but the small size, the IBIS and exposing for the highlights on the GRIII are also appealing. Pfff still a difficult choice.

@@georgex2003 Hi Jorge, I ended up in getting the Ricoh GRIII. The picture quality is excellent. A couple of weeks ago I took it with me to a museum and took some nice photos with a slow shutter speed. Due to the IBIS the pictures were sharp. With a non-ibis camera I should have used a higher iso setting which would reduce the picture quality. I also tried some Macro shots with the Ricoh, but it's difficult to get good results without a tripod. One of the black & white settings of the camera is Hard Monochrome, in some situations a blue sky turns into back, very dramatic, I am not sure if that is the idea or it is (a defect) on my Ricoh only. Did not see examples of that on KZread. The Ricoh is surely small enough to put in your pocket. Sometimes I find the 28mm too wide and regret that I did not bought the 40mm version, it depends on the situation. Of course you can crop. Not having a flippy screen is a negative point. Making a picture holding the camera at waist level is not doable. I also bought a small metal cap from Ricoh to protect the camera against dust when wearing it in you pocket and an extra battery. All in all I am still content with it. The X100V was more expensive and not that different than the X-T3 handling wise. But the flippy screen of the X100V is something I miss on the Ricoh. Good luck choosing the right camera.

Love my GR III, but would definitely want to try the Fuji, esp. for having a less wide lense. In Germany the Fuji is 70% more expensive than the Ricoh (800,- vs. 1.400,-). So in relation to price the GR does very good. Just love it for the size and the film simulations.

The Fuji would still probably perform better but why did you use a slower shutter speed on the Fuji during the high iso test?

one thing was missing: battery life comparison, which one wins?

If you shot film for years then the X100v will evoke that same passion and allow you to call up the skills you acquired - you know, the F16 rule, the tricks you learned about f stops, shutter speed and ASA (or ISO). The dials on the X100V are exactly the same controls you had on your old Nikon, or Canon or Yashica or whatever. I found with the wider lens I was developing a 'style' of my own - a 'look' if you like. It's like shooting with Leica 3 and 5 film cameras back in the day, but with supercharged, extra capability. I do wish though that Fuji would give us a bigger battery, in a bigger grip, along with IBIS. And please Fuji, fix the damn app.

Full disclosure, I am a Fuji FB, that said, I own neither camera as I prefer interchangeable lens rigs. While I currently own the X-T2, X-Pro 2/3, and my X-E2s which propelled me into the Fuji ecosystem (after 37 years with Canon), I am not opposed to adding the ’V’ once life returns to some sense of normalcy and the jobs return. The ’100s’ are just plain sexy, in particular the silver/chromes and from those that work with the ’100’ they do indeed attract a LOT of attention from what I hear, which means I would most likely go with black, stealth is the name of the game in street shooting. That said, a buddy of mine shoots with the GRIII and loves it and it is a great rig by most measures, but the lack of a viewfinder kills it for me, then again, I am 56, an old school shooter.

The only real points of difference of any significance is - GR III Pocketability - X100V viewfinder. Beyond that, it’s up to you. Both awesome.

I already have a lot of normal cameras that can do what the X100v can do, so I don't feel the need to get another one. The GR3, for what it does, is unique, and I have nothing like it in my arsenal. And that's the reason I have just bought one. I intend to use it mainly for candid shots, and I will take it with me everywhere. I've bought a couple of extra batteries, too.

Thanks for sharing! Hope you enjoy your GR3!

Awesome video man! This is exactly what I’m looking for. So thorough and honest comparison. Appreciate the timestamps too! I just hit the bell icon looking forward for your next vids.

Nope, Vancouver BC.

I currently own the GR iii and love it but find myself wanting the X100V. I feel like I baby my GR because it’s not weather sealed. I keep it in a case which makes it inconvenient to use. Ultimately my fear of damaging the camera keeps me from using it as much as I had hoped I would.

Do you find yourself caught in the rain often? The x100v is definitely a more rugged camera in that sense. But I've gotten my GR a little wet and it was fine. Just don't use it too exposed.

What does "TIE" mean?

Although it's a review from a year ago. In low light the GR iii smokes the Fuji. The 1/800 ss could have lowered till 1 second so a much cleaner shot with the GR iii despite the 2.0 aperture.Both apertures were not equal to begin with. With the Fuji 1/60 is the maximum to handhold. With the GR iii you can handhold for 1/2 or sometimes a full second. Therefore lower iso and ince again better in low light.

WOW, MAN! Thanks! Let me watch the video now.

Ik own the gr2 and love the shit out of it. Still learning things about it to this day. Ik would deffentitely love the gr3. But damn that Fuji is interesting!!!! 🤯

Got a GRIII - main reasons are the size, controls and IQ. Also, I can get a wide angle adapter to get 21mm perspective if I want to (and I will definitely pick it up soon), combined with in body crop to 35/50mm and it really is a versatile travel package that covers 21-28-35-50mm. I wish we were not under lockdown right now, weather is finally nice and I want to take some photos :(

I feel ya man! Stay safe and hopefully we can all get out and start shooting again

Actually I think the IBIS in the GRIII makes it equal if not better than the Fuji in lowlight shooting as you can use much slower shutter speeds if you can keep your hands steady

why don t u make more video ? love your comments and your taste

Thank you! I am going to try to be more consistent with making more videos!

GRiii all the way for me. It's a camera that you can easily just grab and go. When I had the X100T it felt as if I had to purposefully use it and just ended up, at the time, using my GRii more. The GR just seems to get out of the way and you can just focus on composition as well grabbing the scene before it goes away. Also, never like how Fuji poorly support their X100 line as to regards firmware. Also on Avg I'm getting 300 to 293 on one battery with the GRiii. The X100 cameras are indeed pretty to look at and you will get some comments but not worth it for me. I think the X-E line is a better buy unless you want leaf shutter

Thanks for sharing that. I can totally understand that. The GRIII is just such an easy camera to reach for.

Battery Life?

Thanks. I will get GR3

I love my Fuji X100T forever. It’s my travel 🧳 and everyday camera.

fnally!!! thanks for ths!

If their image guality is the same , i prefer gr3 rather than f100v, couse the body size and ibis are so important for me.

agree, one of the major selling points of either of these cameras is compactness and the gr3 literally fits in a regular pocket.

Definitely the strongest point is the GR III's compact body and high IQ!

I love the gr, and i usually have one kickin around. But the difference in iso performance is too big of a difference. I can't really shoot the gr above 3200 without feeling kinda meh. I used to shoot my xpro2 at 6400 comfortably. I shoot street, and at night a lot, so having a wider aperture, better iso, allows me to shoot above 1/60. Also the x100 has a flash. Ricoh ditched the flash 🤣

Damn high iso test at 12800? I don’t even shoot that high on my r6

What about battery life? I've heard the ricoh is a battery burner :/

X100f user exclusive now but thought about the gr Use the SD to lightning or thunder for Apple phones and tablets. INSTANT TRANSFER to gallery. I transfer to my phone and then it updates to my tablet via cloud or airdrop
