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 ...

The Ricoh GR III HDF pocket camera lives up to the reputation of its lauded predecessors by pairing a large image sensor with an impeccable lens and building in a fun optical glow filter.

Are you searching for the best image quality in the smallest package? Well, the GR III has a modern 24MP APS-C sensor paired with an incredibly sharp lens and fits into a shirt pocket. But it's not without its caveats, so read our full review to get...
The GR III was always going to be a tricky release for Ricoh to pull off. The GR II was so well-loved that a rushed or poorly thought-out successor might have seriously upset a core of loyal users that Ricoh can ill-afford to lose. At the same time,...

Look for it in 2019.

Ricoh continues their GR line with the all new GR Digital III (aka GR3). This model replaces the GR Digital II we reviewed last year, carrying over man of the same popular features. Ricoh has upgraded this new successor with an improved 28mm fixed...

Whereas the previous GR II camera was a very modest upgrade of the original GR, principally only adding wi-fi and NFC connectivity to its predecessor, the new GR III model is a much more significant reworking of the GR blueprint. It features a new...

The Ricoh GR Digital III is a brand new compact camera aimed firmly at the serious photographer. Identical in design to the previous GR Digital II model, this latest version has undergone some serious internal upgrades, with a brand new lens, image...
The Ricoh GR Digital III is a thinking photographer's dream camera, offering a wealth of features, superb handling, almost infinite customisation, fast operation, and excellent image quality. Only the massive price hike to £529.99 / $699 prevents us...

It's been almost four years now since the cult-favorite Ricoh GR compact camera series received a new model. In the spring of 2019, though, the company has some news which is going to delight Ricoh GR fans and Pentaxians alike.

The ‘classic' 28mm equivalent Ricoh GR III swaps its 2x ND filter for a new Highlight Diffusion Filter, for an dreamier analog look
If you want a genuinely pocketable street/travel camera with ‘proper camera’ image quality ; If a 28mm equivalent focal length suits your style and matches your own vision ; If you can’t get an X100 VI! Seriously, the GR III HDF is smaller, cheaper and...

The latest generation of the Ricoh GR luxury compact is here – adding significant upgrades to a time-honored classic design
Small size with big sensor ; Great for one-handed shooting
A lot of money ; No tiltable screen or eyelevel viewfinder ; No built-in flash
GR fans, or GRists as Ricoh call them, will love this update of an iconic camera. But in the world of multi-lens camera phones the wider appeal of this fixed lens compact will probably be limited. This is a beautiful-sized APS-C compact, ideal for...
