Is the ricoh gr iii worth buying used?

Yes, I think the GR III is a good used buy. It's a pocket-sized APS-C compact with an 18mm f/2.8 lens, which frames like 27mm on full frame. It was announced in 2019, so it's older than the GR III HDF, and that's where used prices can work in your favour. As I say on the buying used page, an older body is often most of the camera for less.

Budget for a new genuine battery, because old ones lose capacity. If you'd rather have the built-in flash that the GR III dropped, the Ricoh GR II is the older choice, but it has no stabilisation.
