Despite its ultra portable size, the Ricoh GR Ⅲ Premium Compact Digital Camera offers professional level quality at an affordable price. Like other cameras in the Ricoh GR Digital series including the wildly popular Ricoh GR II, the new Ricoh GR camera earns its nickname The Ultimate Snap Shooter.
Shake Reduction and Dust Removal
The GR III from Ricoh Imaging reduces shake and dust at a premium level. It is capable of blur-free images at slow shutter speeds up to 1/4 second. Unlike DSLR Shake Reduction (SR) units that need to be compatible with various interchangeable lenses, the GR III's SR unit is optimized for the integrated 28mm fixed focal length lens. This SR unit gives you more reduction than that of other cameras. As for dust, the GR III uses an Image Sensor Cleaning dust removal system that takes advantage of ultrasonic vibrations. By default, this system is activated at startup and shutdown.
Lens Performance
The lens is constructed using 6 elements in 4 groups (2 aspherical lens elements) and features improved macro and optical performance. This gets you higher resolution and contrast from center to edge, plus reduced ghost and flare. When retracted, the GR III's lens barrel is 1.5mm thinner than the that of the GR and GR II.
Premium Image Quality
The GR III features a 23.5mm x 15.6mm APS-C image sensor with 24.23 megapixels. Where the GR II featured 12-bit RAW DNG, the GR III brings it up to 14-bit for improved tonality and broader tolerance for RAW image editing. The GR III also offers 15MP at a 35mm crop and 7MP at a 50mm crop.
