Hello, it depends a lot on the settings especially on the display. With my photographic behaviour, one battery was enough for a day trip, although I didn't always have it on and worked with the sleep mode. For always on, including display, I would rather assume three batteries or work with a power pack. Greetings

Unfortunately, we do not have any information on this yet. As soon as we can obtain the article from our supplier, it will be visible in the shop.

No, there is no viewfinder for this camera.

Here, for less money, there is also a spare battery and a bag. So I would buy this one and not the more expensive one....

Not until today, but it may still come. It has USB-C, there is hope

Hello, I use the Godox TT350-F. It works great. I also shoot with Fuji cameras and can use the flash there too.

No. The GR III requires a new adapter, the GA-1.

This can be for many reasons. Scarcity can also be a marketing trick to get people to pay any price, for example. See here the price difference between the GR I and GR II. Maybe Ricoh generally expects a small sales volume and has built up limited capacities. And maybe production and marketing are a perfect match. Other brands have similar problems - see Leica with the Q2.

We have just been able to relist the following products. Ricoh GA-1 Attachment Adapter and Ricoh GV-1 Viewfinder (Viewfinder Accessories)
