Ricoh GR Digital III hits the review bench, collects plaudits

 

The dudes and dudettes at Photography Blog are nothing if not thorough, and their latest review is no exception. The GR Digital III and its peculiar 28mm wide-angle fixed focal length lens (i.e. no optical zoom) have been subjected to an inspection ...

Ricoh GR III review

 

Are you searching for the best image quality in the smallest package? Well, the GR III has a modern 24MP APS-C sensor paired with an incredibly sharp lens and fits into a shirt pocket. But it's not without its caveats, so read our full review to get...

The GR III was always going to be a tricky release for Ricoh to pull off. The GR II was so well-loved that a rushed or poorly thought-out successor might have seriously upset a core of loyal users that Ricoh can ill-afford to lose. At the same time,...

Ricoh GR III Review

 

Whereas the previous GR II camera was a very modest upgrade of the original GR, principally only adding wi-fi and NFC connectivity to its predecessor, the new GR III model is a much more significant reworking of the GR blueprint. It features a new...

Ricoh GR III Review

 

It's been almost four years now since the cult-favorite Ricoh GR compact camera series received a new model. In the spring of 2019, though, the company has some news which is going to delight Ricoh GR fans and Pentaxians alike.

Ricoh GR III review

 

The latest generation of the Ricoh GR luxury compact is here – adding significant upgrades to a time-honored classic design

Small size with big sensor ; Great for one-handed shooting

A lot of money ; No tiltable screen or eyelevel viewfinder ; No built-in flash

GR fans, or GRists as Ricoh call them, will love this update of an iconic camera. But in the world of multi-lens camera phones the wider appeal of this fixed lens compact will probably be limited. This is a beautiful-sized APS-C compact, ideal for...

Review- Ricoh GR Digital III
