Our Verdict

RICOH GR III

Fujifilm X half

The RICOH GR III and the Fujifilm X half are point-and-shoot cameras with fairly different use-cases. While the RICOH is equipped with a large APS-C sensor that can shoot RAW and deliver excellent overall image quality, the Fujifilm is more focused on giving a shooting experience that aims to mimic a film camera. Its technical performance is much more basic, and much of what makes this camera is the film simulations, which give the photos it takes a specific look straight out of the camera.
