RICOH GRIII STREET EDITION KIT + BATTERY + CASE

Ricoh GR III Street Edition + DB 110 battery + GC-9 bag

The most important property of the GR III remains:
deliver great photos anytime, anywhere, also meeting the highest demands of professional photographers.
To meet this requirement, the new RICOH GR III offers a comprehensive equipment package. The centerpiece, the 24.2 MP APS-C sensor, together with the newly developed lens with a 28mm fixed focal length (KB equivalent) and the original PENTAX vibration reduction system, offers the perfect conditions. to make the GR III permanent. companion to make in everyday photography. Since speed is of decisive importance, especially in often very fast street or reportage photography, the GR III also triumphs here with maximum values ​​and is ideal for spontaneous snapshots with a power-on delay of only 0.8 seconds indispensable. Speed ​​is guaranteed by the new image processor and an acceleration unit,

In addition to the many hidden values ​​that are taken for granted after a short period of use, the so-called "user interface" plays a very important role in being able to adapt to changing daily requirements. Because ease of use is another basic principle of the camera. Important functions can be activated with the push of a button and can be individually programmed to multiple buttons. Additionally, the photographer has the option of assigning three recurring sets of settings to the corresponding user programs.

In short, it is speed, clear operation, unobtrusive appearance, together with reliable technology and perfect image quality in an extremely compact and stable housing that characterize the overall package of the new RICOH GR III and make the camera the what it is: the ultimate tool. for reports and snapshots.

High image quality
Newly developed sensor and lens unit with original "Shake Reduction" module
For the new GR lens, the extremely narrow design had to be harmonized with an extraordinary image line. Thus, the 18.3 mm F 2.8 (28 mm (equivalent to a KB lens) with its construction of six elements in four groups represents perfect image quality. Through high-index glass elements with low dispersion, provides the clearest and sharpest images in the history of the GR series, while distortion and color errors are minimized. The lens construction was particularly complex to incorporate the original "Shake Reduction", which minimizes the effects from camera shake and thus image quality to achieve a perfect Enter the image result. Image sensor

Large 24.2 MP APS-C for high-detail reproduction
The GR III is equipped with a 24.2 MP high resolution CMOS image sensor (APS-C) with a wide dynamic range. As a result, the resolution is approximately 1.5 times higher than with the GR II. Supported by the lack of a low-pass filter and the high-resolution lens, even the finest details are reproduced.

Maximum sensitivity up to ISO 102400 with values ​​of
low noise The noise reduction process leads to high image quality, even at high ISO sensitivity. These and a 14-bit color depth for RAW (DNG) recordings ensure rich sound reproduction.

Complex Image Processing Processes and Rapid Responsiveness: Meet GR ENGINE 6
High resolution with 14-bit color depth in RAW, high light sensitivity, hybrid autofocus and many other basic parameters that must be calculated in fractions of a second. This is where the camera's processor, the "GR ENGINE 6", delivers superior performance.

Fast answer
High-speed hybrid AF
Phase detection in the image plane together with contrast detection AF, offers excellent focus speed and precision. The best properties of both systems are combined in a hybrid combination AF.

3 axes with 4 light values
Instant photography means acting fast, often even in difficult situations when little light is available. Even if the GR III is more compact than its predecessor, the original Shake Reduction function minimizes camera shake on three axes. Provides exposure safety of approximately 4 light value levels (based on CIPA standard).

Button and "touch screen" operating concept
Many functions can be activated and controlled directly. In addition to the adjusting wheel, four-way controller and special function keys, a touch-sensitive monitor is used for the first time to control functions.

Compactness
Particularly compact: the camera 

ultimate snapshot mara
The GR III's case size roughly corresponds to the GR DIGITAL IV, but offers a whole new dimension of performance. There is not only the size of the sensor, which is now 23.5mm x 15.6mm compared to the previous 1 / 1.7-inch, but also the operating concept, which now even includes a touchscreen. Lots of details to get one step closer to the perfect snapshot camera.

Light sensitivity up to ISO 102400
To ensure consistently high quality and speed, the GR III was equipped with an acceleration unit. The "Accelerator Unit" is used as a powerful component of the image processor to ensure high image quality even at high ISO values.
This reduces noise throughout the sensitivity range up to ISO 102400 and provides excellent resolution and color reproduction.

Further development
Expanded firmware functionality for an ever-evolving GR III
The requirements for the operation of the GR III are changing. We are responding with firmware updates for the camera control to expand the range of functions, just as we did with previous models.

Flexible adaptation
The use of a camera and the preferences of the operator are as different as the photographers who use the camera. With individual setting specifications on the control wheel or special button function specifications, each photographer has their own setting settings.

Image control and JPEG image settings
The GR III offers many options for image effects, roughly comparable to the choice of film for certain recording requirements, such as black and white film or slide film. You can choose from 10 options for recording. These basic settings can be further refined for post-processing and saved as JPEG images.

A new dimension in lens performance
High resolution and high contrast.
Introducing the new GR lens with special sharpness
The GR lens with a new lens construction has been developed for even better image quality. This lens uses a slim optical system with six elements in four groups, maintaining a focal length of 18.3mm (28mm equivalent to 35mm format) and brightness of F2.8. Glasses with a high refractive index, low dispersion and highly precision shaped aspherical glass lenses are optimally used in lens construction to suppress distortion and chromatic aberration to the absolute limit and achieve a high degree of sharpness . This results in sharp and clear images throughout the entire image, even when the largest aperture is selected.
