If you want 28mm, it&#8217;s the <strong>GR III<\/strong> or <strong>GR \u2163<\/strong>; if you want 40mm, it&#8217;s the <strong>GR IIIx<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThe GR \u2163 steps up to a 7-element, 5-group lens design, which should improve overall rendering uniformity and tame the distortion typical of wide-angle optics compared to the GR III. So if you&#8217;re after 28mm, it&#8217;s worth waiting for the \u2163. If you&#8217;re after 40mm, there&#8217;s no reason to wait.<\/p>\n<p>I went with the 40mm <strong>GR IIIx<\/strong> because it sits close to the focal length I usually shoot with on my mirrorless body (around 50mm). At 28mm, getting in tight on a bike easily warps the frame, which limits when you can actually use it. My shooting style also leans toward &#8220;cyclist \u00d7 bike \u00d7 background&#8221; rather than &#8220;landscape \u00d7 bike&#8221;, and 40mm makes that kind of framing feel far more natural.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why I&#8217;m reaching for a GR now<\/h2>\n<div class=\"maxphoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25286\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cycling-camera_15.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cycling-camera_15.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cycling-camera_15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cycling-camera_15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cycling-camera_15-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cycling-camera_15-272x182.jpg 272w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">My shooting style for the past seven years<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been seven years since I started carrying a mirrorless body on rides. In that time, plenty of cyclists have picked up the same habit \u2014 but honestly, I&#8217;ve started to find hauling a mirrorless on every ride a bit of a chore.<br \/>\nAs a photographer, I obviously bring the mirrorless when it&#8217;s a paid shoot. But for a pure ride, lugging it just for SNS posts feels like overkill.<\/p>\n<p>I went through a phase of trying to make the iPhone work as a substitute, but as I wrote in my <a href=\"\/iphone16pro-review\/\">16 Pro review<\/a>, there were parts of the shooting experience and final output I couldn&#8217;t make peace with, so I never fully made the switch (that said, as a record-keeper and video camera, the iPhone is unbeatable).<\/p>\n<p>A compact camera is the obvious thing to fill the gap \u2014 but the options have dwindled to almost nothing. I already let go of the small 1-inch sensor models since the iPhone outgrew them, and SONY and Leica&#8217;s full-frame compacts are just too big. That leaves the APS-C field: FUJIFILM&#8217;s <strong>X100VI<\/strong> or RICOH&#8217;s <strong>GRIII<\/strong> \/ <strong>GRIIIx<\/strong>.<br \/>\nOf those, the one that slips into a pocket and lands on a beautifully judged 40mm focal length is the <strong>GR IIIx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>This is exactly the moment the GR comes alive<\/h2>\n<p>The GR IIIx launched four years ago (the GR III, six), but I&#8217;d argue that in 2025, the GR is <strong>the ultimate ride camera<\/strong>. There are three reasons \u2014 some personal \u2014 behind that.<\/p>\n<h3>The shift in photographic trends<\/h3>\n<p>There was a time when a photo was judged first on whether it was in focus and whether the subject was clearly defined. Blurred or murky frames went straight to the trash without a second thought.<br \/>\nBut now, that kind of &#8220;imperfection&#8221; is what people gravitate toward. Intentional out-of-focus shots, motion blur from slow shutters, the warped light of an on-camera flash \u2014 these are read as &#8220;not literal, but emotionally hitting&#8221;, and photographers are deliberately chasing them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"maxphoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42776\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_29.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_29.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_29-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_29-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_29-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_29-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_29-272x182.jpg 272w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Slow shutter and strobe have become essential to contemporary photographic expression (shot with a mirrorless)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Why? Largely because of how far smartphone cameras have evolved. Portrait mode in particular brought mirrorless-like &#8220;bokeh&#8221; within reach of anyone. Timelines are now flooded with neatly blurred backgrounds. In that landscape, is there really any point in lugging around a dedicated camera just to shoot the same look?<\/p>\n<p>The appeal of GR isn&#8217;t that it shoots &#8220;beautifully&#8221; \u2014 it&#8217;s that it shoots &#8220;freely.&#8221; Miss focus, go pan-focus, and it still holds together. Blow out the highlights in backlight, and it still has flavor as a photograph. GR&#8217;s design philosophy seems to embrace ambiguity and roughness rather than eliminate them, and that resonates powerfully with where photographic expression is heading right now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"maxphoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42785\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_26-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_26-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_26-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_26-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_26-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Shots I would have tossed in the past are now ones I keep<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The definition of a &#8220;good photo&#8221; shifts with the times, and there&#8217;s no question that GR fits this moment.<\/p>\n<h3>Personal growth as a shooter<\/h3>\n<p>Back when I was still a beginner, a friend let me try the GR III, and I came away convinced I couldn&#8217;t handle it. The GR series isn&#8217;t a friendly camera for newcomers.<\/p>\n<p>Take the GR IIIx: 40mm is a tricky focal length \u2014 too tight for snaps, too wide for portraits \u2014 and it&#8217;s hard to get the easy, obvious background blur that still pleases most viewers (trends shift, but bokeh remains a crowd-pleaser). On top of that, the very concept of a &#8220;snap shooter&#8221; is abstract enough that you&#8217;re left wondering what you should even be pointing it at.<\/p>\n<div class=\"maxphoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42781\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_34.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2635px) 100vw, 2635px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_34.jpg 2635w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_34-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_34-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_34-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_34-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_34-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_34-272x182.jpg 272w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2635\" height=\"1756\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">GR&#8217;s output is wonderful, but the shutter feel is underwhelming, which makes the &#8220;joy of shooting&#8221; hard to feel at first (shot with a friend&#8217;s camera \u00a9<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hxsx_ryxhxx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@hxsx_ryxhxx<\/a>)<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Growing as a shooter takes several stages.<br \/>\nGrasp the differences between focal lengths.

Sweat doesn&#8217;t soak through as easily, and the location and size of the pocket are arguably the best fit for carrying a camera like the GR.<br \/>\nOver the past few years, just about every brand has added cargo bibs to its lineup, and that has quietly turned the GR into a camera anyone can take along.<\/p>\n<div class=\"maxphoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42782\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_35.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_35.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_35-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_35-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_35-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_35-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_35-272x182.jpg 272w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Cargo pockets make the camera easy to grab, so reaction time stays sharp.

letting you balance tight details and wider scenes within a single outing. The compact body also frees you from the angle constraints of a mirrorless setup, opening up far more room for expression.<\/p>\n<p>Another signature of the GR&#8217;s color rendering: natural, but with restrained saturation, giving everything a subdued, grown-up character. The tonal nuance in the shadows is especially rich, which is why I finish most of my shots slightly underexposed. Depending on the scene, it also makes me want to lean into monochrome.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Where the GR Falls Short<\/h2>\n<p>Personally, here are the three things that frustrate me about the GR IIIx.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weak skin tone rendering<\/strong>: Because the GR leans toward a cool, mature palette, the redness and warmth of skin gets toned down, and you lose that healthy-looking complexion. You can correct it to some extent in post, but it&#8217;s hard to pull out the kind of color I usually get from my FUJIFILM. So (although this goes against the camera&#8217;s design philosophy in the first place) it&#8217;s not really suited as a main portrait camera.<\/p>\n<div class=\"maxphoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42753\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_5.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_5.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_5-272x182.jpg 272w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Keeping the GR&#8217;s signature color while tweaking the skin tones slightly in post<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>No weather sealing<\/strong>: Adding dust and splash resistance would likely change the form factor. Part of the GR&#8217;s charm is that it&#8217;s so small yet delivers such stunning results, so this is the price of entry. I&#8217;ve been using it on rides for several months now and it&#8217;s holding up fine, but there&#8217;s no denying it&#8217;s been subjected to harsh conditions for a GR. I&#8217;d recommend springing for an extended warranty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No viewfinder &amp; no tilting screen<\/strong>: This is also a trade-off for the size, so asking for it might be greedy, but the shooting experience \u2014 including the shutter feel \u2014 is on the cheap side. I miss having a viewfinder, and when shooting from near the ground, the fixed screen makes framing tough.<\/p>\n<div class=\"maxphoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42802\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_38.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_38.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_38-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_38-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_38-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_38-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_38-272x182.jpg 272w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" \/><\/div>\n<p>I list these as complaints, but I know that addressing any of them would make the GR something other than a GR \u2014 so I use it knowing exactly what it is.<br \/>\nBattery life often gets called out as a weakness, but a single ride maxes out around 200 frames for me, and it handles that just fine. AF is slow too, but I usually shoot moving subjects with pan focus, so it&#8217;s rarely an issue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>A Camera That Doesn&#8217;t Wear You Down<\/h2>\n<div class=\"maxphoto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42783\" src=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_36.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_36.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_36-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lovecyclist.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gr3x_36-272x182.jpg 272w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" \/><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">On paid shoots I sometimes run a two-camera setup: mirrorless + GR<br \/>\n(Shot on a friend&#8217;s camera \u00a9<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kentasan_24\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@kentasan_24<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mirrorless cameras will remain essential for client work and serious image-making \u2014 that won&#8217;t change.<br \/>\nBut when you&#8217;re tired of hauling a bulky camera around in pursuit of that one flawless ride shot, the GR offers a shooting experience that doesn&#8217;t keep you on edge.<\/p>\n<p>You can release the shutter without bracing yourself.
