RICOH GR III Compact Camera 24 MP APS-C Sensor 28 mm F2.8 GR Lens

Product Information

Image quality is absolutely fantastic. I love it. High ISO looks great, the feel of images is just incredible. GRs are tuned to be... different, in a good way. This one preserves that, while dialing up the IQ at the same time. Now, if you really liked the effect filters from the GR II, they are here except for cross process (sadly... firmware update? Ricoh is very good about improving and developing on their cameras post-launch, and they listen to users better than most, which not going so far as to compromise what they see as the core concept of the GR cameras) but they have a slightly different feel. There are a lot more parameters to change, but the GR II felt expertly tuned from default. So, what about Fuji JPEG colors? Personally, I’ve always felt that Fuji’s colors were only special in an era when most manufacturers’ JPEGs were bad. Everyone has gotten better, but Fuji can’t iterate because they’ve already given their film simulations fancy names, and people know what to expect. I think Ricoh’s Positive Film style bests Fuji’s Classic Chrome, personally. And the contrasty B&W options Ricoh makes are a lot different than the more subtle ones Fuji makes, so it’s not much of a comparison. One of the special features of this camera is that the SOOC (straight out of camera) .jpgs look fabulous. While you can shoot RAW, many people don't feel the need to edit them. One advantage to shooting RAW is that you can reprocess the image in your camera. A firmware upgrade for the RICOH GR III will be provided soon. GR III users are advised to update the camera’s firmware to use this function.

LONDON, 22 February 2019 －RICOH COMPANY, LTD. and RICOH IMAGING COMPANY,LTD. are pleased to announce the launch of the RICOH GR III. This high-end digital compact camera harmonizes high quality, high-resolution images with intuitive, responsive snapshot capabilities in its compact, lightweight body — making it an excellent choice for enthusiast and professional photographers alike. The Ricoh GR III once again offers Full HD movie recording, but this time around does so at 60p as well as at 30/24p. During recording the camera can be set to continuously focus on the centre of the frame (manual, snap and infinity focus options are also available). Various image Effects including Retro and Bleach Bypass are available during movie recording, and the white balance can also be set, but annoyingly you still can't set the aperture or shutter speed, just like on the GR II, so you'll have to rely on the camera's exposure system when shooting video. It's fair to say that video really isn't this camera's strong point. Auto White Balance, Multi Auto White Balance, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Fl. – Daylight Color, Fl. – Daylight White, Fl. – Cool White, Fl. – Warm White, Tungsten, CTE, Manual White Balance, Color Temperature Snap focus is principal amongst them. Snap focus allows you to pre-set a focusing distance to which the camera automatically ‘snaps’ at a full shutter button press. It can also be set up to work at the touch of the rear screen. This means the camera will not waste time acquiring focus in the normal way. It will immediately jump to the focal distance you set — 1m, 1.5m, 2m, 2.5m, 5m, or infinity.The Ricoh GR III is a new high-end premium compact camera with a large sensor and fast lens that's aimed at enthusiast and professional photographers alike. MP CMOS Sensor with accelerator unit helps achieve remarkable image quality; 3 Axis; 4 Stop Shake Reduction ensures sharp images even in lower light conditions; It is also compatible with multi tone 14 bit RAW image recording mobile device or computer. The Bluetooth connection creates a constant, low-power connection between the GR III and a smartphone/tablet to transfer images and video even when it's in Sleep Mode.

This function is available at shutter speeds slower than 1/1000 second._ 5. Compact, lightweight design Some elements come into play before even taking a shot, like the very fast 0.8-second startup time and Snap Focus. This isn’t a rapid-fire shooter, given it maxes out at 4 frames per second in burst, nor can you articulate it easily because the screen is fixed into the body. And because the screen is not especially bright by default, you may have to brighten it in certain conditions to see what you’re doing, which ultimately affects battery life. Straight out of Camera, unprocessed JPEG Straight out of Camera, unprocessed JPEG It such a fun camera to use. Easy for beginners, advanced features for professionals on the go. It weighs less to nothing so there is no excuse to leave it at home. Because of it’s minimalist appearance, it doesn’t stand out when you photograph the streets. I was working with 50mm on my previous nikon but the focal length was working against me. With GR’s 28mm, I felt like I got the correct prescription glasses to see the world clearly.I have a problem with most digital cameras though, indeed I sold my APS-C Ricoh GR last week. It could be a fine machine on a good day, but mostly it just gets in the way of the creative urge.

Low light, high ISO performance: It’s not a full-frame Sony, so don’t expect clean images into the ISO stratosphere. I find the GR high ISO performance on par with my Fujifilm X-T4.. Don’t forget there are flash options (see below), and also the IBIS, which can reduce the required shutter speed, and allow you to shoot at lower ISO values. The best part about how it snaps images is the consistency. I saw no barrel distortion or chromatic aberration in the shots I captured. Not only that, but edges were clean and devoid of nasty vignetting creeping in to force cropping in post. Images looked clean and crisp with excellent detail in a variety of circumstances and scenarios. interested in night photography, and there's also a Bulb setting for even longer exposures. The shot below was takenRather than an optical anti-aliasing filter in the camera, the GR III has an innovative anti-aliasing simulator instead, which can be turned off (default setting) or on to either the Low or High setting, which adjusts the level of the effect. This feature effectively provides the same level of moiré reduction as an optical AA filter. has been taken, White Balance Adjustment the white balance, and Color Moire Correction usefully removes any artificial color banding. There's also in-camera RAW Development, with 9 different parameters available. view the horizontal and vertical indicators on the LCD monitor to ensure that shots are aligned along each axis. If you're using the external viewfinder, or can't see the LCD screen in very bright sunlight, then the camera can also be set to make a sound to indicate a level horizon. It doesn't sound like a big deal in theory, but in practice it really helps to make all those wide-angle shots perfectly level.
