RICOH GR III Compact Camera 24 MP APS-C Sensor 28 mm F2.8 GR Lens

Product Information

Macro: A great bonus feature of the camera is its ability to get close and capture details of flowers, critters, products, or food. Yay! BTW - I don't think it was XV738, as I have photos of her in wraparound in 1978. I've got some more photos to look at since I did this document, so I'll see what edits I can make and re-publish. Recording capacity shows approximate number of shots recorded during CIPA compliant testing. Actual performance may vary depending on operating conditions.

This camera is capable of producing gorgeous, highly detailed images. The 24mp sensor allows for some cropping latitude, and there is also a 35mm in-camera crop setting, which gives you a 35mm field of view at the expense of a third of the megapixels in the file. RICOH GR III -A high-end digital compact camera, featuring an assortment of newly developed main components designed for the ultimate in snapshot photography The new GR III offers three main new benefits when compared to its predecessor - higher image quality, more features and a smaller body. It's actually the same size as the GR Digital IV, which had a much smaller 1/1.7-inch sensor. The effects of the optical anti-aliasing (AA) filter are obtained with Shake Reduction. Moving the image sensor slightly during the exposure suppresses false colors and moiré. You can choose whether to prioritize resolution or reducing false colors and moiré depending on your subject. Choose [High] or [Low] for effect settings. if anyone else out there is looking for alternate colours and find that the official ones dont suit your tastes maybe this helps.Standard, Vivid, Monotone, Soft Monotone, Hard Monotone, Hi-Contrast B&W, Positive Film, Bleach Bypass, Retro, HDR Tone, Custom1, Custom2 There are a couple of notable bugbears about the GR III, though, that rather take the shine off it as a whole. Firstly, the battery life is pretty terrible - around 150 shots per charge, far short of the official CIPA rating of 200 shots. Sure, you can carry extra batteries or an external powerbank, but that rather defeats the purpose of buying such a small camera. Secondly, the new hybrid AF system promises snappier, more accurate performance on paper, but often fails to deliver in practice, especially in low-light conditions, causing missed shots on more than occasion. Thirdly, this latest version loses the handy pop-up flash that was featured on all its predecessors, the main casualty of making the camera smaller. Contrast and phase-detect autofocus have been combined in this Hybrid autofocus system, to create a process with high-speed recognition and precise focussing. Yup, the GR3 (like a lot of recent cameras) only ships with an adapter to plug your camera into the wall to charge the batteries. In all fairness the GR3 uses a USB-C for charging so it feels a bit more secure than the tiny micro usb on other cameras. Either way, it’s a a terrible solution because you can’t use your camera while you’re charging your batteries.

yet they would all be right too as every paint looks different under different lighting temperature and weather conditions. To have a camera this small with the highest quality, you are able to take pictures everyday and anywhere. And it was through taking pictures everyday with the GR that I developed my photographic eye. And now being comfortable with the camera, I feel that I can work with any kind of camera because I now at least have developed a personal style. Despite the camera's diminutive size, the GR III now features built-in image stabilisation. It may only use a simpler,3-axis system, rather than 5-axis, but the 4 stops of shutter speed compensation that it provides will definitely prove very useful on a camera that is predominantly used held out in front of you, rather than at eye level. MegapixelsThe imaging processor on this model is the new GR ENGINE 6. It elevates the essential high image quality performance of the GR for an even greater level of detail. Faster processing makes a high pixel count image sensor and multi-level gradation in 14-bit RAW possible. This also contributes to improved responsiveness and functionality for autofocus and movie. Leica shooters have been using this kind of zone focus technique for decades and it’s brilliant to see it in a camera like the Ricoh GR III. Originally developed AA Filter Simulator: By applying microscopic vibrations with sub-pixel precision to the image sensor unit during exposure, the camera’s AA (anti- aliasing) Filter Simulator* provides the same level of moiré reduction as an optical AA filter. This innovative simulator allows the user not only to switch the AA filter

Given that DPR is a gear forum foremost, that is expected. (we can write what we want in the subforums but the editorial stuff is 95% (?) about new gear and tech. Further to Graham Boak's post above; There was a colour photo on the front of an old Airfix magazine(ca.1978ish) showing an RAF Jaguar immediately in front of an RAF Vulcan. Now the latter was in the standasrd MSG and Dark Green with LACG underside, and the Jag in standard DSG and Dark Green wraparound. Convention says that the greens on both machines would be BS381c241/641, but that on the Jag was a lot darker. Of course there are a lot of variables here, the Jag looked to be freshly painted and the Vulcan may well have faded. Likewise a look at any RAF Herk of that period would show a multitude of Dark Green (and Grey for that msatter) shades on the same airframe. Colours are given as a Standard, but from there on in it depends on the materials used, how it faded and its use...

Ease of Use

It sounds a bit sad, but I'm all for it - it take the pompous self-important photographer and place them where they belong: in the forgotten corner on the museum. It is advisable to follow the beacons all along your hike and to bring you the FFRandonnee topo-guide. You The GR III is a major update to the GR and GR II that preceded it. The resolution increase from 16-24MP was expected (and overdue) but the addition of sensor stabilization, a touch-sensitive screen, and the removal of the built-in flash make the GR III a very different photographic tool, albeit one that should feel instantly familiar to GR / II fans.

The camera body has been treated with an attractive metallic gray finish that designed to appeal to a street photographer, symbolizing the asphalt pavement in the city. It’s also accentuated with an orange-yellow ring encircling the lens barrel. The exterior finish features an elegantly grained texture created by repeatedly spraying droplets of a coating material onto the camera body. Although smooth in appearance, this special paint also helps improve camera hold. Hands down, my favorite feature of any GR camera is the Snap Focus mode. In a nutshell, Snap Focus mode lets you set a fixed focus distance and use aperture to create the amount of depth of field you need to get your subject in focus.Every Ricoh GR user knows this happens and it’s something we’ve had to live with because the features and usability of these cameras is so damn good. Image quality: The 24mp sensor and lens together are capable of taking incredibly crisp and detailed images. There's a 3-inch touchscreen display on the rear with 1.04-million-dot resolution, the first time that a GR camera has featured a touchscreen. It makes quite a big difference to the usability of the camera compared with earlier models, especially as it's very responsive. humbrol 163 used to be this way but of late it has become very green much more to ww2 green. and there is no doubt that this is a good green to use.
