I bought a Ricoh GR III.
Nice camera, shame about the app - it's pretty bad in and of itself (you need it for remote shutter), but it has a horrific data collection/sharing T&C.
Fortunately, in Android, you can block network access for an app.
If I couldn't do that, I'd need to root e/os/ to install firewall to prevent, or, not use the app - which would mean no remote shutter on the camera.
AFAIK, there is no way to discover the T&C until you have installed the app.

- remlov 2y agoA01GR2 is a pretty good open source alternative available on the play store. Miles better than Ricoh's own app.
- casenmgreen 2y agoI thought briefly about writing an app for remote shutter, but obviously a lot of work. Did not cross my mind would already exist!! Thank you very much. Appalling Ricoh T&C now in the bin.
