The awaited addition to Ricoh's lineup of swift and slender cameras, the GR III Urban Edition lives up to its reputation of being a feature-rich, carry-everywhere camera with outstanding image finesse, agile performance, and incredible compactness. It houses a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and a GR Engine 6 unit to achieve refined gradation, vivid color rendition, and heightened ISO scope from 100-102400. This allows for the capture of finely-detailed 14-bit DNG images and Full HD videos. A strengthened 28mm-equivalent prime lens with an f/2.8 aperture aids in versatile shooting, perfected by the addition of a 3-axis Shake Reduction system to stabilize shots at slower shutter speeds.

Emphasizing its street-ready concept, it sports a specialty shutdown screen with a custom logo and a street-view visual. The exclusive Full Press Snap feature allows rapid focus point adjustment to a preset position at full shutter release, and the function is also touch-enabled on the rear LCD, enabling instant focus shifts to capture spontaneous street scenes. Enhanced with two DB-110 batteries, extended photography sessions are made possible.

Special Urban Edition

The GR III comes with a redesigned 24.2MP APS-C sensor and GR Engine 6, capable of producing detailed 14-bit DNG or JPEG stills with superb color and contrast, and versatile ISO settings from 100-102400. It supports Full HD 1080p video recording at various frame rates and includes valuable crop modes—35mm at 15MP and 50mm at 7MP—to mimic shooting with lengthier lenses.

Advanced Imaging

The integral 18.3mm lens (28mm in 35mm terms) delivers a general wide perspective, with a f/2.8 max aperture for potent performance under various lighting scenarios. The composition of six elements in four groups, with two aspherical lenses, minimizes distortion for sharp, true-to-life shots. It boasts close-range capabilities, from 3.9" to infinity, and a specific macro range from 2.4-4.7". To facilitate creative control, an internal ND 0.6 filter aids in capturing motion blur or opening up the aperture. Additionally, the lens features a nine-blade diaphragm for pleasing bokeh effects and the overall lens architecture has been streamlined compared to its predecessors.

High-Quality Lens

A first in the GR series, this model includes a 3-axis Shake Reduction System, designed to minimize blurring from camera motion, yielding sharper images at lower shutter speeds. This stabilization system is specially calibrated for the fixed 28mm-equivalent lens, improving its effectiveness. It also doubles as a means for reducing moiré and dust from the sensor surface.

Image Stabilization

Recognizable for its ultra-portable form yet equipped with a high-grade sensor and lens, the GR III features a 3.0" 1.037m-dot LCD touchscreen for efficient control and image review. The revamped rear body design prioritizes a roomy and comfortable thumb rest and easy access to physical controls. Personalization is facilitated through the assignment of functions to the ADJ lever, FN button, and touchscreen AF operations. Enhanced startup and AF speeds ensure readiness, while built-in Bluetooth LE and Wi-Fi permit the seamless transfer of images to your device. It also has a location tagging capability, and battery life allows roughly 200 shots per charge. The USB Type-C port simplifies file transfers and allows in-camera charging.
