Nikon Z7 II vs Ricoh GR III
Verdict: The Nikon Z7 II outperforms the Ricoh GR III in resolution (45 MP vs 24 MP per DPReview), autofocus coverage (493‑point vs 49‑point per Imaging Resource), and video capabilities (4K 60p vs 1080p 60 per DxOMark). However, the GR III’s 28 mm f/2.8 lens and sub‑$1,000 price make it a more practical choice for street photographers (price and size advantage noted by CNET). Overall, the Z7 II is the superior tool for high‑resolution, professional work, while the GR III excels in portability and cost‑effectiveness.
