I'm Thomas, 57 years young and bought a Ricoh GR III a few days ago to have an all-time-with-me cam with a good image quality.

Approx. 40 years ago I started with a Zenith SLR, after a few years I bought a Minolta XD-5 with 3 lenses and as the Minolta-body was to repair/change I switched to Nikon because with Minolta I had to buy a complete new camera-System if I had wanted to use autofocus. Only Nikon did not change the lens mount. For the next 20 or 25 years I was very satisfied with Nikon till I got 50 and bought the really good lenses: 70 - 200/2.8 AF VR II and 24-70/2.8 VR ..... real good ... real expensive .... and real real heavy....... This equipment becomes much too heavy for my. It was no fun anymore to shoot Nikon ....... So I did a market-research and ended up with Olympus. At the moment I use 3 bodies with 12 lenses and 5 flashes (1 Oly and 4 Godox). I'm really happy with this MFT-equipment but I wanted a very small cam - and the GR III is approx. what was the Olympus XA a few decades ago......

The more I see what all the features and AI do or can do the more I want to go back to the roots of photography ... but not as far that I have to develop film;)

So a very very small and really pocketable cam like the GR with a big sensor and a high quality lens together with good b/w-modes are exact what I searched for.

Here is one of my first pictures:
