The GR III might look very similar, but it's a significant update over the GR and GR II. Find out more about what's new. MP CMOS Sensor with accelerator unit helps achieve remarkable image quality; 3 Axis; 4 Stop Shake Reduction ensures sharp images even in lower light conditions; It is also compatible with multi tone 14 bit RAW image recording

For anyone now considering the GR, perhaps encouraged by this latest vote of confidence in the future, there is now a choice, rather than just one simple model. File Format: MPEG4 AVC/H.264 (MOV), Recorded Pixels: Full HD (1920×1080, 60p/30p/24p), Sound: Built-in stereo microphone, Recording Time: Up to 25 minutes or 4GB; automatically stops recording if the internal temperature of the camera becomes high. I actually believe, that the main reason for the current popularity of film photography, is that the photographer has to learn a few simple rules about the relationships between aperture, shutter speed and ISO, along with the creative part i.e. the decision on where to stand and when to press the button is all that is needed from a camera.I will keep this short. As with all modern sensors, the image quality out of the Ricoh GRIII is excellent. Where the little Ricoh stands out from the crowd is the perfect marriage of a sharp lens with a stabilized 24 MP APS-C size sensor, with no anti-aliasing filter. The lens and sensor are perfectly matched (a bit like the Fujifilm X100 series with its 23mm f/2.0 lens, and the Leica Q with its 28mm f/1.7). This means there are no compromises regarding sharpness. The lens is easily capable of resolving the full 24mp of the sensor. Wide-open at f/2.8 images are center sharp but a little soft in the corners, as is normal for most lenses, but stopping down to just f/4 gives edge-to-edge sharpness. Nice! I know that I am perfectly happy with a fixed 28mm focal length, but would the new Pinocchio, the IIIx, prove as satisfying a companion. Would it become a little frustrating as a sole travel companion? the Image Control, Focus, Exposure Metering, File Format and Outdoor View settings. Even better, the Adj. menu is 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 effect on and off, but also to select the effect to the level best suited for a given subject.

The camera also has what is basically an undetectable shutter sound using a leaf shutter similar to the ever so popular Fujifilm X100V.The more cameras I shoot, the more I value highlight weighted metering. It is basically an automatic ETTR, the intensity of which can be controlled using exposure compensation. I count this as one of the best features of the Ricoh GRIII, and implore other camera companies to consider this during the product development process.Another nifty feature you get with fixed lens compacts is the high flash sync speed. Coupled with the built in ND filter, the GR gives you some creative options. GR purists have bashed this version of the camera for the missing flash, but I have never used on-camera flash ever, so I do not necessarily miss it. Based on recommendations online, I went with the LightPix Q20ii flash setup. Though the flash is not as powerful, it is a modular setup that I highly recommend for compact camera shooters.
