Ricoh GR Digital III 10MP Digital Camera

The new GR DIGITAL III takes the GR line's traditional high image quality to an even higher level with a new image processing engine, a new CCD, and the newly developed 28 mm/F1.9 GR Lens. Performance has also been enhanced in areas such as quick shooting, operability, and power of expression. The GR DIGITAL III 1. Newly developed large-aperture lens. The adoption of the new F1.9, f-6.0 mm (equivalent to 28 mm for 35 mm film cameras) lens for the GR DIGITAL III takes compact-body cameras into a new realm of images. This lens makes it possible to shoot with a faster shutter speed than could be used on previous models, or to shoot with the same shutter speed but at a lower setting for ISO sensitivity.

Despite the large F1.9 aperture, the new lens achieves a resolution level equivalent to that of the F2.4 GR Lens. The use of a newly developed lens drive system has made it possible to achieve greater image quality in macro photography. 2. Taking the GR DIGITAL concepts another step forward, the GR DIGITAL III achieves even greater image quality.

The new image processing engine GR Engine III is installed. Using newly developed noise reduction technology, it enables highly sophisticated noise processing to be done while maintaining superior resolution, tone characteristics, and saturation.

This is the best compact camera PERIOD. I am not going to waste your time with an in depth review on this camera, there is already a very good review that does that. What I can tell you is that this camera constantly suprises me with its versatility and ability.

If you are s street photographer, or are looking for a camera that will allow you to catch "the moment", this is the camera for you. The snap focus function is priceless.

I have taken over 5000 photographs with this little thing, it goes with me everywhere. The size, ergonomics, the unmatched optics, the settings, it all comes together in this beautiful little package. You will not be dissapointed.

Ricoh has done an unbelievable job. In the end, I really believe this compact was designed for photographers. You will grow into the GRD III and it will allow you to express your vision, unlike many point-and-shoots. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

I've previously owned the GRD 2, and had few qualms with it. However, with the GRD 3 these issues have been answered. The GRD 3 is a wonderful camera to capture those special moments. It is also a very versitile street camera, that slips into your shirt pocket snugly. The LCD screen has been improved upon from the previous model, and the button placement and calibration is spot on. This is the main reason I still opt for Ricoh cameras, because their buttons and menu are very accessible and straightforward. I shall always pick a Ricoh GRD and favour it to the Canon Powershot and Leica D-Lux range. Those are great cameras with excellent image quality, but I always found myself favouring the GRD as a companion.
