Is the ricoh gr good for travel?

Yes, with one caveat. The Ricoh GR is the fixed-lens answer in my travel picks. Its 18mm lens frames like 27mm on full frame, a useful everyday wide view for streets, food and interiors, and it fits in a jacket pocket. You give up zoom, and the original GR has no stabilisation, so dim churches will need a steady hand.

If you're buying one for travel, I'd look at the newer models first:

• Ricoh GR II has a built-in flash, which the GR III dropped, and no stabilisation.
• Ricoh GR IIIx has a 24.2-megapixel sensor, the most resolution of the three.

If you need zoom for distant subjects, the travel guide covers the one-camera option.
