Ricoh GR III vs Sony A6700
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 A6700 leads at Approx. 550 shots (Viewfinder) / Approx. 570 shots (LCD monitor) (CIPA standard) vs the GR III's Approx. 200 images (CIPA standard).
- Weight (body): the GR III leads at 257 g vs the A6700's 493 g.
- In-body stabilisation: the A6700 leads at 5.0 stops vs the GR III's Sensor-shift shake reduction (SR) (3-axis); 4 steps (CIPA standard).

Spec values are the manufacturers' published figures, compared factually — we don't rank cameras. Fit verdicts are planning estimates from published interior dimensions, not guarantees. See methodology.
