Product Information

Cross Processing] has been added to [Image control] of the 6　[Image Process Setting] menu in the [Movie Settings]. I recently had the opportunity to take the GR III out for a spin in Bristol City centre, to see what it was like to use in a busy urban environment. Leica shooters have been using this kind of zone focus technique for decades and it’s brilliant to see it in a camera like the Ricoh GR III.

This model is equipped with a high-resolution, wide dynamic range APS-C size CMOS image sensor (approx. 24.24 effective megapixels). It has approximately 1.5 times the pixels of the GR II and an anti-aliasing filter less construction that utilizes the characteristics of the high-resolution lens for high-definition detail reproduction. Both the image sensor and lens are also optimized for the best possible image quality.

Battery Life Sucks And I’m Okay With That

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). Full Press Snap] function has been added on [Touch AF] of　C 2 [Customize Controls] on [Customize Setting] While these accessories are not cross-compatible, both cameras have a good selection of accessories to choose from, all of which can enhance the photographic experience of the photographer. Many street photographers even choose to have their GR III X set up as a tighter cropped camera with the Tele Conversion Lens, while their GR III is set for ultra-wide-angle shots thanks to the GW-4. I have no problem recommending this camera for any street shooter looking for a smaller kit that doesn’t sacrifice image quality or usability for size. Fortunately, and just like photographer Fred Abery mentioned in his recent article, you don’t have to worry about accidentally activating the touch screen with your nose when using the viewfinder, because this camera does not have a viewfinder. And for those photography snobs saying the viewfinder is the only good option to compose the picture, I will tell you this. It isn’t.

Camera shake is reduced for crisp images even when taking split-second snapshots. Shake Reduction is installed while making the body size of the GR III more compact than its predecessor model. It minimizes the shake on three axes, including yaw, pitch and roll. Compensation effects deliver as many as 4 steps of shutter speed.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.
