REVIEW & INFO

Honest review and information

Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition, Metallic Gray Body with Navy Blue Ring, Digital Compact Camera with 24MP APS-C Size CMOS Sensor, 40mmF2.8 GR Lens (in The 35mm Format) is a high-quality camera from Ricoh that promises impressive performance and great value for the price.

The metallic gray body of the camera is inspired by street photographers who are always in their element on the asphalt pavement. The camera body is accentuated by a specially designed navy blue ring cap that encircles the lens barrel and complements the metallic gray color of the camera. The body color and design give the camera a unique and modern look.

One of the most significant features of this camera is the GR lens that can achieve sharp imaging with high resolution and high contrast. The newly developed optical system consists of 7 elements 5 groups with a new focal length of 26.1 mm (approx. 40 mm in 35 mm equivalent focal length). This lens is perfect for capturing street scenes and urban landscapes that require a wider range of focus.

The Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition features a 24.2MP large APS-C format image sensor that utilizes the characteristics of the high-resolution lens for high-definition detail reproduction. The GR ENGINE 6 elevates the essential high image quality performance of the GR IIIx for a greater level of detail. Faster processing makes the combination of high-resolution sensor and multi-tone 14-bit RAW possible. This means you can capture more detail in your images, and the colors and contrast are more lifelike.

The camera's high-performance processor "Accelerator Unit" reduces noise, delivering superb resolution and color reproduction across the entire sensitivity range. It also makes it possible to shoot at ISO 102400. This is a great feature for low-light photography, allowing you to shoot in conditions that would be impossible with other cameras.

The Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition features 3-axis, 4-step Shake Reduction that minimizes the adverse effects of camera shake caused by pitch, yaw, and roll by as much as four shutter steps. This means you can capture stable and clear images even in difficult shooting conditions.

The Optical anti-aliasing (AA) filter simulator is another excellent feature of the Ricoh GR IIIx Urban Edition. Moving the image sensor slightly during the exposure suppresses false colors and moiré. This is useful when shooting subjects with intricate patterns or fabrics.

The body size is compact while offering a high level of functionality. The button and dial layout allow for comfortable, single-handed operation. The touch panel LCD Monitor is easy to use, and you can simply touch and slide to move the AF frame or access the menu, pinch in and out during playback, or flick to view the previous and next images.
