Review: Ricoh GR II (One of the Best Compact Cameras We've Ever Tested)

The Ricoh GR II is a camera that delivers great performance for the price point. Granted, it's a bit expensive, but if it's your only camera it's great.

Review : Ricoh GR II Camera

Almost a bridge unit, just larger than most small point and shoot offerings, certainly a little heavier, however smaller than all DSLR units, this <b>camera</b> has a surprise that I have only seen recently in one other <b>camera</b> it has a fixed focus lens.

7 Cameras with Character: Our Favorite Endearingly Eccentric Models Outside the Mainstream Box

When applied to humans, the word “character” has two distinct meanings, an oddball or eccentric as in “Fred is a real character” or a morally upstanding person, as in “Charlie is a man of unimpeachable character.” When it comes to machines created by humans, the word “character” conveys a slightly different constellation of meanings, hovering somewhere between “having lovable defects” like an old Model T Ford, and expressing a distinctive personality, like a classic Ferrari.

A slim and lightweight wide-angle digicam with features and performance to attract serious photo enthusiasts.A successor to the award-winning GR Digital, which was released in October 2005, Ricoh's GR Digital II offers higher resolution and a new GR Engine II image processor but otherwise retains most of the features that made its predecessor popular with photo enthusiasts. Superficially, the diecast magnesium bodies of both cameras are almost identical, but the new model sports a slightly larger LCD.

Ricoh GR II sensor review: Modest update

As a high-end compact with the focus on portability and high image quality, the original Ricoh GR was a highly-regarded model. Adding Wi-Fi connectivity, improved buffering, and extended battery life to the original’s GR 28mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens in front of a relatively large APS-C type 16-Mpix CMOS sensor, the Ricoh GR II is a relatively modest update. Read on to find out how well this new camera performs.
