I had a GR II and sold it because I changed systems. Got the GR IIIx though and it quickly became my most used camera. I love it for street photography and as an everyday camera, it is always in my pocket. I own Nikon Z bodies and lenses, but as it turns out, travelling light (just a carry-on bag) and walking around a city all day forces you to rethink what gear you want to take with you. So I recently added the GR III HDF. Two cameras, each in one pocket with less total weight than one Nikon Z body. I also got a LightPix flash, great companion for this type of camera. A truly pocketable and versatile set. It is certainly not for everybody, but I have to admit, the more I use it, the more I appreciate the GR system.

What you missed here is the fact the HDF is behind the glass, this leads to NO filter ghosting when in use. If you need the ND's I find them (of all filters) to typically cause the least amount of ghosting when placed over a lens. For this reason I think the HDF version is kinda the winner. I currently use a GRIIIx with an adapter and a Glimmer Glass 1, you'd be surprised at how often the ghosting thing can be an issue, so to have something built right into the camera (that gives no ghosting) and being able to toggle the effect on/off at the push of a button I think is really neat. Actually legit not gimmicky but useful. I would like to see this become a standard feature for the GR series, but I would also like to seem them get past the maximum of 1/2500 (@f2.8) or somehow manage to squeeze in ND filters as well as the HDF.. It might not seem like much innovation, but at this point in time I think a lot of camera companies are a bit stale on this front. There's a spec war, but not many are thinking outside the box to implement stuff like this. It's 2024.. I don't understand why only some video cameras get built in ND filters, I think its high time we all had such features included as standard in cameras along with the special effect ones. Hopefully the rest of the industry catch on. I mean nowadays so many cameras are hybrid and ND filters arguably even more useful from the video aspect...

Small size is the one feature this camera has going for it. I wouldn't want to see an integrated EVF unless it were an optional one that works through the hotshoe. Same for a tilting screen.

I don't understand the criticism for the lack of an EVF. A tiny viewfinder with poor eye relief and limited sun-shading does not seem like a worthwhile addition to a camera like this. You can stick an OVF in the hotshoe, so I don't see the problem.
