Ricoh GR Limited Edition

The Ricoh GR is a technological marvel as much as it is a camera.

The Nikon Coolpix A and Ricoh GR both offer a wide-angle f/2.8 lens and a 16 megapixel APS-C sensor. We find out the difference in this comparison.

For any aspiring photographer looking for a camera to begin their journey, the Ricoh GR should be one of the first stops. The GR packs mid-size DSLR imaging in a pocketable and lightweight form factor that isn’t anything but a pleasure to carry around and shoot with. What Is It?...

With the launch of the Nikon Coolpix A we marvelled at how, in the space of a year, the idea of a large sensor compact with a fixed, prime lens, has gone from being an obscure niche (as it was when Sigma launched the original DP1) to a burgeoning and competitive area of the market. Now, with the Ricoh GR, Pentax Ricoh has added to this trend by introducing an APS-C compact with a fixed 28mm equivalent F2.8 lens.

In addition to a new paint job and matching accessories, this limited-edition GR IIIx includes exposure and focus modes that will also come to the standard GR IIIx when this limited-edition version launches next month.

With excellent image quality and tons of extra features, this camera proves that you can shoot big without a zoom lens.

At first glance the Ricoh GR looks like a street photographer's dream camera. With a fixed focal length 28mm wide-angle lens, 16 megapixel APS-C sensor, high-res 3 inch LCD screen, flash hotshoe, wealth of customisable controls and a fast auto-focus system, does the pocketable Ricoh GR live up to its promise?
