Like the Kodak V570, Ricoh’s 8-megapixel GR Digital is aimed at those who prefer to stand apart from the crowd. By consistently focusing on useful features – such as the ability to shoot at wide-angle and in low light (up to ISO 1600 here) &nd...
Crisply detailed, natural-looking wide-angle images.
No zoom facility; attachments and removable media cost extra.
Sure to gain ‘must-have’ status as the secondary camera of choice for D-SLR users, the GR Digital is a snapshot for grown-ups that produces images that wouldn’t disgrace the professionals (photographers that is, not Messrs Bodie and Doyl...

The Ricoh GR is an 8 megapixel compact camera with a fixed focal length, wide angle lens. The lens is the equivalent of a 28mm f2.4 optic on a film camera and there is an optional supplementary lens that shortens the focal length to 21mm. Yes, you hav...
The Ricoh GR has an outstanding lens that produces wide angle images without distortion. In fact the straight lines near the edge of frame are as perfect as any we have seen from a lens of this focal length. Exposure and colour are good and as we have...
Images straight from the camera are just a little soft but they respond well to a touch of unsharp mask in Photoshop. However picture noise is noticeable at higher ISO settings and this is emphasised by sharpening.
The Ricoh GR is obviously not for everyone. It is a relatively expensive single purpose camera. The one thing that it does it does well. For anyone with an interest in landscape photography or planning to spend a week or two in Venice this would be an...

There are high-end compact cameras and there are high-end compact cameras. The Ricoh GR most definitely fits into the latter group: there's an APS-C size sensor-the same size as found in many DSLR cameras-paired up with a fixed 28mm equivalent f/2.8 l...
