Ricoh's GR III Camera Drops Next Month
Reviving the cult camera in street photography.
Months after Ricoh announced that it would be revamping its cult compact camera, the GR II, we now have a more exact time frame on when it will be released. As a cult digital camera in the world of street photography, the GR was loved for its compact design, blacked-out look, APS-C-sized sensor, and sharp 28mm lens.
Upgrades in the GR III include a touch screen display, a more compact body (with the removal of the flash), 3-axis image stablization, a new 24-megapixel sensor, faster autofocusing, and upgraded button configuration — essentially improving on everything GR II users were complaining about. The GR III is priced slightly high at $900 USD, and will be launched in March with an optional $250 USD 14mm conversion lens.
Stayed tuned as reviews will slowly be making their way onto YouTube, where testers will tell us if this new GR III is worth the $200 USD bump in price.
