After recovering from a badly broken left wrist (6 places) I have found that I can no longer use my left hand with my cameras. Besides the fact that I have decided to simplify my photography gear (a DSLR and a mirrorless plus 7 lenses, two gear bags, three tripods, etc.).
So I have sold/traded in all of my gear for a simple but powerful Ricoh GR III. Built in IBIS, ND filter, fixed lens with built in lens cover, live histogram, focus peaking and electronic level, and best of all, designed for one handed shooting.
Does UHH frown on Ricoh owners? Just wondering because I don’t think I have ever seen a Ricoh post.
If anyone here frowned on any camera brand I would block them.
I don't care what camera people use, I look at the results.
If someone frowns on particular equipment because they don't care for it,
they're riding too high a horse.

Some people here think the sun rises and sets on Nikon, Canon, and Sony - but we try to set them straight. I’m sorry you haven’t seen any of my posts. I’m a Pentax user, but I recognize that Pentax is under the Ricoh umbrella these days.

Some people frown on anything different from what they have, it's best to just ignore them.

I have use Canon, Nikon, Pentax, and other cameras made in Japan and that also goes for German's made cameras. The result is the picture and all the pictures were the same. Remember a cameras is only a tool and the tool is only as good as the person use it.

There does not seem to be a lot of UHHers that claim to be street photography shooters which is where the GRIII is popular. I see a lot of videos praising the GRIII. I wouldn't mind having one as a pocket camera and it certainly sounds like a good fit for your situation.
Sorry about your wrist. Glad you found a camera that works for you.
I think I've heard of Ricoh before, but I don't remember where.
Frown on????
Why would one cares if someone frown on your camera? I never seek approval from others.

Many years ago I used a Ricoh twin-lens reflex (6x6 cm, 120 film), and produced some absolutely outstanding images. Ricoh made/makes some very fine optics and cameras.
I’ve heard of Ricoh but don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the wild. I just looked it up and it seems like a very capable camera and has solid reviews. From the description it sounds a lot like my Panasonic LUMIX LX100, only better with its APS-C sensor.
Given your situation it sounds like a logical choice.
