Our Verdict
RICOH GR III
Fujifilm X100VI
The RICOH GR III and the Fujifilm X100VI are both excellent point-and-shoot cameras. While they both fill a similar niche for those who want a premium compact camera for street photography, each one has its place—and its own vocal fanbase. The RICOH is significantly smaller and more portable, with a more unassuming design that makes it better for those who prefer to be discreet. The Fuji, meanwhile, is flashier, with more features, including a hybrid viewfinder, a tilting screen, and excellent video specs. The good news is that both cameras are capable of capturing excellent images.
