My GRIIIx arrived on Wednesday, and I took it out for the first hike yesterday morning. I bought it for the small size and light weight so it wouldn't burden me on hikes. So far, the image quality seems up to my expectations.
Spent some time in Venice last weekend and also brought the GR IIIx. Happened to be the camera I had on me when we had the best conditions and took my favorite photos with it. Also had a blast doing it - this little camera is just amazing!
Just got myself a GRIIIX as and EDC, I chose it over the original GRIII (that I owned a few years ago) wanting a little tighter field of view. The downside for me is that I need glasses these days to really see anything even at arms length. But always loved the handling of the GR.
