Canon EOS R50 vs Ricoh GR IIIx
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Battery life (CIPA): the R50 leads at 440 shots (LCD) / 310 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, at 23°C vs the GR IIIx's Approx. 200 images (23°C, fully charged).
- Weight (body): the GR IIIx leads at 262 g vs the R50's 375 g.
- Format: R50 has APS-C; GR IIIx has APS-C (23.5mm x 15.6mm).
