Crisp, lifelike images
It’s hard to beat the lifelike images produced with the 26.1mm GR lens, which offers a 40mm angle (in a 35mm format), and is also available for preorder. This is about as close to capturing the real-life scene as it gets. The lens is made even better by the camera’s 24.24 megapixel APS-C-size CMOS image sensor. It promises images data-rich enough to print and hang on the wall — or hand over to clients. The Ricoh GR IIIx boasts a short startup time of 0.8 seconds, guaranteeing you never miss a shot. Also, the high-definition LCD touchscreen helps you navigate the focusing and framing process swiftly.
Hybrid AF for speedy precision
Just like its resolution, the Ricoh GR IIIx camera doesn’t skimp on focusing speed. The hybrid AF system blends contrast-type autofocus and phase-detection autofocus, guaranteeing an astonishingly speedy focusing operation — great for wildlife, events, sports, and more. The AF system detects the subject’s face or eye, then sticks with them — even if other faces come into frame.
Great for on-the-go photographers
The Ricoh GR IIIx camera is built for travel and on-the-go photographers, with a compact and lightweight design that hardly adds weight to your backpack. The camera also comes with shake reduction built-in. This means your handheld shooting days will deliver sharp result. Also, this is thanks to the up to four shutter steps of compensation. Add the camera’s three-inch high-definition LCD monitor — which comes with touch-screen operation for everything from AF frame shift to image — and you can rest assured this camera will be easy to use in clutch situations. It doesn’t matter if you’re out in the backcountry or photographing closer to home.
