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 ...

Review: Ricoh GXR digital camera

 

While the GXR sounds like good news for photographers looking for a high-quality shoot-from-the-hip camera for street and travel photography, getting set up doesn't come cheap.

Compact ; Stunningly sharp results, particularly with 50mm portrait lens and 12-megapixel sensor combo ; Component parts feel solid, well made, and attach and detach easily

Ricoh GR

Ricoh GR Digital III

 

This is probably one of the most well thought out compact cameras on the market. I also own a Canon 5D but this is the camera that I always have with me and that I use most of the time. This camera takes into account the needs of serious photographers...

No problems whatsoever. The price is a bit high but it really is worth it. This is a high quality camera in every respect ; My only wish for the next version of the camera would be a larger sensor (maybe even an APS-C sized sensor such as is used in...

Ricoh - A Serious Point and Shoot

 

In the hands of an experienced photographer, one who shoots from the hip, frames intuitively, and adjusts on the fly, the Ricoh GR Digital can be magic. Even in the hands of a forever amateur like this Potato Head, the Ricoh can produce some...

Great low light pictures
