About this deal

This is an example and you will be asked later in the checkout process to confirm your deposit again. Waterproofing would put lots of restrictions on the camera body, and I'm afraid it would result on something other than a GR. I’ve seen at least a dozen articles suggesting the Fujifilm x100v and the Lumix LX100 II with their APS-C and M4/3 sized sensors are “pocketable. But not one wedding shooter, event shooter or anyone who seeks to create intimate candids reaches for a 28mm prime. Thankfully, Ricoh hasn't allowed the tiny size of the GR to compromise usability, or perhaps just the result of almost 25 years of experience from iterative updates to a product line -- Ricoh sure has had time to get things right.

Personally, vignetting doesn't bother me much, at least not in the kind of photos this camera invites me to shoot. As anyone who always carries a camera with me, I think there's a constant hunt for the perfect compact camera.

It also provides an assortment of new features, such as a high-speed hybrid AF system, an originally developed SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, and touch-screen operation for intuitive control, to improve operability and functionality. On the other hand, with color and lighting (and an additional second to work the settings without TAv), GRIII shoots like a god. The battery life is currently more than enough for my needs, and when needed I can carry a couple of spares in a tiny soft case. The optical construction incorporates six elements in four groups, including two aspherical elements that help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.

It is great for travel (small body, small batteries both in capacity and size, but that's why you can have two other with you without noticing).There's an issue with the studio scene widget - it shows cross-hatching and artifacts on the ISO 100 RAW sample, that are not there (yes, I downloaded the ACR-generated JPEG). Moreover, a six-element, four-group optical system is used to achieve images that are sharp from the center to the edge with clear depiction. It elevates the essential high image quality performance of the GR for an even greater level of detail.

I disabled the feature immediately as I went for a walk: accidental touching kept on changing the focus. I actually like Negative Film, but straight out of the box, it makes reds orange which I’m not too keen on. I love the fact that it is pocketable and unobtrusive with most people thinking it isn’t a “proper” camera. If I forget the SD card in my Sony or Olympus, it means I won’t be taking any pictures that day, but not so for the GR3. While one month is by no means enough to fully get to know a camera, it is enough to get a solid understanding of whether or not it will warrant a permanent place in my bag or not.

If the writing speed cannot keep up with the recording speed, writing may be interrupted during recording. be extremely compact and functional, almost equal in size to the GR DIGITAL IV (which is equipped with a smaller 1/1. The RX 100 IV is acting up again, only a few months after an expensive trip to Sony's authorized repair center.
