The new Ricoh GR IIIx and existing GR III cameras will be in short supply and customers can expect delays, Ricoh Japan has announced.
Delays for the recently announced Ricoh GR IIIx are down to a global parts shortage, which is affecting many other products in the tech industry. In a statement on its website, Ricoh Japan said:
