    Mercedes 1, Ricoh 0...

    Ow....

    Apologies for the crap photos, but I am not happy...

    What really upsets me is that this is the camera I used for the Single In January. Now it is banana-shaped with a scratched front lens element and a smashed rear screen. The lens won't retract either. The Accmaxx protective screens front and rear could not save it from a ton of German metal.

    If anyone has a GRD III in need of a good home please let me know - I can't be without.
    Regards,

    Bill

    That's a damn shame. I recently sold mine so I can't help you out, but I hate to see something like that happen to such a perfect little camera.

    Good luck,

    Did it get run over or dropped out of? I hope you get another soon, I feel your pain. Went a couple months without my camera once and at that time I had no others, just my cell phone.
