Our Verdict
RICOH GR III
Fujifilm X100V
The Fujifilm X100V is better overall than the RICOH GR III. Both cameras use APS-C sensors and deliver excellent image quality, but they use different focal lengths that may suit different preferences. The Fujifilm has a 35mm equivalent lens, while the RICOH has a 28mm equivalent lens, though it also comes in a GR IIIx variant with a 40mm lens. Otherwise, the Fujifilm camera offers more features, including a tilting screen, a hybrid viewfinder, a better autofocus system, and better video capabilities. However, the RICOH may suit you better if portability is a priority since it's much more compact than the Fuji.
