Ricoh GR Digital Camera in Black

The Ricoh GR Digital Camera is a powerful advanced compact camera featuring a large-format 16 megapixel CMOS sensor for image quality equivalent to a DSLR. The Ricoh GR has a high quality 18.3mm f/2.8 GR lens, high resolution 3-inch LCD, records movies in full HD and offers full manual control. The GR is portable, lightweight and extremely tough thanks to its magnesium alloy body. The newly developed GR ENGINE V gives high performance image processing and you'll never miss another sudden photo opportunity with the super-fast start up time plus 4 fps shooting. Newly developed GR LensThe Ricoh GR is equipped with the wide-angle 28mm equivalent in the 35mm format GR LENS 18.3mm F2.8, which achieves both a compact size and high performance. Using uncompromising design with a superior fixed focal length of 28mm, sharp, skillful depictive performance is available from the maximum aperture f2.8.Large-format CMOS sensorThe Ricoh GR has a 16.2 megapixel, high-sensitivity, wide dynamic range APS-C large-size CMOS sensor. Improved shadow noise characteristics makes a routine high-sensitivity shooting at ISO 3200 possible (Max: ISO 25600). By making the camera low-pass filter-less, the excellent lens characteristics are used as-is, providing clear depiction all the way to the edges of the image. Sharp depictive performaceIn addition to a unique, newly developed lens construction, glass with high refractive index and low dispersion qualities were used, along with optimized placement of aspherical high-precision molded glass lenses for aberration removal to the utmost limits, even image quality and contrast from the centre to the edges of the image, and high resolution. Coupled with a lens construction that reduces ghosting, and multi-coating on all surfaces, this lens possesses excellent resistance against backlighting. Of course distortion and chromatic aberration are reduced to an absolute minimum, for the best overall optical performance of any GR model. With sufficient aperture efficiency and a 9-bladed iris aperture, beautiful blurring effects to the edges of the image with minimal falloff are achieved. Also equipped with an ND filter that can be manually controlled for a wide range of photographic expression.GR ENGINE V, for remarkable image processing and expressive power.To accommodate the newly designed APS-C size CMOS sensor, a new image processing engine, GR ENGINE V was developed. High-performance image processing algorithms suppress all types of noise, produce natural, sharp images, and suppress colour saturation for specific colours that have the tendency to become saturated.Even better image qualityFor even better image quality. With the white balance feature Multi-Pattern AUTO, compensation areas are compartmentalized, making it possible to optimize color reproduction even under multiple light sources. Additionally, with the Dynamic Range Compensation function, compensation on the pixel level is improved, and fringing of luminance
