Ricoh GR III Street Edition Premium Compact Digital Camera with extra battery DB-110 and Case GC-9 case - The ultimate snapshooter

Product Information

But beyond the perceptual qualities of the image, the new sensor holds its own when shooting higher ISO. I’ve got no problem shooting at 6400 in a pinch and 3200 holds its own with any modern APS-C camera out there. The Tele Conversion Lens GT-2, for example, works with the Lens Adapter GA-2 to extend the focal range of the GR III X from 40mm to 107mm which is highly useful when working with a fixed lens camera. The optics of the Ricoh GR III receive a score of 68/100. This camera features a 24-megapixel CMOS sensor, coupled with a GR Engine 6 processor. It has a shooting speed of 4 frames per second and a DXOMARK sensor score of 76. The sensor size is APS-C, providing good image quality in various lighting conditions.

In today’s market, the Ricoh GR III holds its own with its specifications, providing a reliable option for photographers seeking a compact and user-friendly camera. Its features and size make it a competitive choice for capturing everyday moments.

I’m more interested in the character of a given camera and how it performs in the real world while shooting on the street.

Lenses – Should have no marks on the elements andoptically clear. There may be light dust present that will not effect theimagery.Offering the same high image quality as the standard RICOH GR III, the small, lightweight camera body has been treated with a metallic gray finish designed to appeal to a street photographer, evoking the asphalt pavement in the city. The finish features an elegantly grained texture that is smooth in appearance but helps improve camera grip. It’s accentuated with an orange-yellow lens barrel ring, reminiscent of traffic lines painted on streets. The touchscreen shows excellent response, which makes it easy to set the focusing point or browse your images, although focusing performance overall is a little mixed. It's certainly an improvement on the previous contrast-detect-based system, but it can be unpredictable when set to the auto pattern, and sluggish when the light isn't great. It's fast enough for most scenes and subjects, but the standard on such cameras is high here now, and the GR III can't quite keep up with the competition (although it's significantly better here than one of its main rivals, the Fujifilm XF10). But when I look at an EVF, I’m often nagged by the sense that I’m looking “into” the camera. The image appears in real time but it almost seems to be separated from reality by the simple fact that it’s in the camera. Some photographers prefer having to move around a scene, trying out different angles to get the shot they want. This is a camera designed for those people. The ones who move their body around to get the perfect shot, and who enjoy the challenge that can be presented by their environment.

This model is equipped with a new GR lens that surpasses all other GR lenses with its amazing optical performance.

Ricoh GR3 Pros & Cons

When the camera's power is turned off, the camera displays a shutdown screen consisting of the specially designed product logo and a street-view image that symbolizes the camera's "street snapshot" concept. RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD. wishes to announce the release of Firmware Update Software Version 1.81 for GR III.Insert the battery into the camera and confirm the battery is full by battery level indicator then turn the camera off. Autofocus also now benefits from Hybrid AF - using phase detection for speed, and contrast detection for accuracy. There is a macro mode that allows you to focus down to subjects in the 5 - 12cm range. And you can focus manually too - with such mod cons as focus peaking to help you to do this accurately. In place of the awkward proprietary USB port from before, the Ricoh GR III is equipped with a USB Type-C port, and this lies behind a small door that's surprisingly difficult to prize open. As on many other modern cameras this supports charging while the battery is inside the camera, and that's something you may want to do quite frequently – with a CIPA rating of just 200 frames per charge, battery life is disappointing. If you leave the Shake Reduction system off and keep LCD usage to a minimum it's likely that you'll be able to achieve more frames per charge, but you'll almost certainly want to grab a spare battery or a power bank to be on the safe side. Great build and even smaller than before

Details are nice and sharp across the frame, even when you're using the camera at its widest f/2.8 aperture, and distortion is minimal. Vignetting is more of a problem, although this can be rectified with the Peripheral Illumination Correction feature. Images don't quite have the most pleasing colors straight out of the camera, so you may want to tweak this before you shoot (or after with the Raw Development feature, which works very well). RAW format data can be processed on the camera and saved as a JPEG file. Tune the photo exactly the way you want using just the camera, adjusting the recorded pixels, aspect ratio, white balance, Image Control and sensitivity. With Image Sync version (2.0.4), you can only view and transfer images via a wireless LAN connection.Cameras – LCD screen is heavily worn either by de-lamination or has scratches to it. Rubber grips are starting to come away from the body. Each addition to the range has very little between them in terms of quality, they all use the same 24.24MP APS-C CMOS Sensor with identical processing power. This is ideal because it means that part of your decision of which version becomes your go-to street camera is then based purely on your aesthetic style. It's rare to get this kind of choice within a camera range, and it's one of the great aspects of the Ricoh GR series that makes it so appealing to so many photographers. Fortunately there’s a number of 3rd party options from companies like Wasabe that won’t break the bank. But it’s still frustrating to have to deal with this – just charge us a bit more and include the damn thing, will ya?
