Is the ricoh gr ii worth buying used?

Yes, I think the GR II is a good used buy, as long as you're happy without stabilisation. It's a 2015 compact with a 16.2-megapixel APS-C sensor and an 18mm lens that frames like 27mm on full frame. Its built-in flash is a real plus, since the GR III dropped it. You'll be relying on the wide lens and decent light to keep shots sharp.

Used is the sensible way to buy it. A body a generation or two old often gives you most of what matters for much less money. The buying used guide covers the rest, and it's worth budgeting for a new genuine battery, because old ones lose capacity.

If you'd rather have more resolution, compare it with the Ricoh GR IIIx, which has a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor.
